Very good.  O0  I used that myself but it's dangerous to piss-off the Pope.

I was going bug nutty with my assassins and pissed off Hungary and they declared war. Then Novgorod jumped in as I was now a target of opportunity. Then during last night's session Venice jumped in too! But I stymied their plans by obliterating their army 👍

Martok - I may have spoke too soon about Stainless Steel's tactical AI. During several siege battles last night here I was defending, I witnessed the attacking force split their army and try to take my city from multiple points on the tactical map, in attempt to divide my defending force.

It failed, multiple times, but still...good show.

Just out of curiosity Gus, how do you handle those damned, annoying Papal Inquisitors that wander around all over in this game? Those things are worse than a case of the crabs.  :pullhair:
Ugh.  Inquisitors shouldn't even be in the damn series; they're just too powerful.  A neat idea in concept, but they never worked very well when implemented -- or rather, they worked a little *too* well.  I hope that in Medieval 3, they're left out entirely.

Thanks Gus, I appreciate the info.  Trying to take a city at multiple points is indeed an improvement. 

I did go ahead and add Medieval II (plus the Kingdoms expansion) to my Steam wishlist.  Plan to pick it up during the late/post-holiday sale.  :crazy2:

I care. Just not about.... nevermind. Great article Gus. Maybe you can get your Pike & Shot army to come-over and help you out in Poland. Just a thought.
