Aargh!! I am playing the Italians, c1211, and doing pretty well (richest, biggest army etc - love this faction!). Currently there are only two other Catholic factions left (French, v powerful) and HRE (weak). When the French launch Crusades, which they do with distressing frequency, they seem to be able to move at will around my territories, decimating my armies until they finally get round to moving some way towards their destination.
However, when I do it, I can't move all over the place at all, the thing only lets me take a very narrow route to my destination, which inevitably means I'm contributing most to the army.
So basically, the French AI seems to be able to weaken my defences for its eventual attack without me being able to do a damned thing about it!
Help! Any suggestions? (Short of fighting the Crusaders, which I don't want to do at the moment and wouldn't be confident I'd win)
(Hopefully without tweaking files please, I'm not into that. I like to play as the game was designed, annoyances and all; I remain bemused by the number of complainers on here - if you don't like the game, don't play it! I think MTW is great!)
