I know this has probably come up before, but here's my 2c after what happened in my Portugal campaign last night.
Ver 1.02 on H/VH with 2 turns per year.
I'm also trying the Chiv approach this time round, which I'm quite liking. Which for me means no backstabbing, slaughtering prisoners or assassins.
The Scene.
I was busy consolidating after booting the Moors off of the mainland, and taking over Zaragoza and Valencia. The Spanish only have both starting provinces still. I have a marriage alliance with France, Scicily, and Hungary. Also Allied with the Pope and Denmark. I have Outstanding/Perfect relations with all, except Denmark which is very good.
My problem was that France were allied to the Spanish, so attacking the Spanish was a big No No, as I wanted to keep things with France cool for now. However France started a war with Scicily, and the Spanish called off the alliance with France. Yay :smiley2:
The Incident.
Just as I was getting ready to take out the Spanish in 1 turn, which I try to do to avoid his holiness' wrath, one of the Spanish full stacks turns Rebel. :2thumbsup:
However the very next turn this full stack of Rebel Mailed Knights and Jinettes, was taken out by 3, yes 3 units of mailed knights led by another Spanish captain. I mean c'mon, I'm a good general but there is no way in Hell that the AI could have won that one fairly and squarely. No upgrades on either army. I was speechless.
It's the first time I've seen the AI cheat to that degree. Anyone else have any other weird AI victories, that shouldn't have happened?
