Hello everyone. First post. I have been playing awhile. Tried the English. I have been playing the Danes lately, on expert. I have noticed the computer many times ends up loosing land to revolts. I have revolts a very few times, but to me the computer is not handling the economic side of the game very well.
On anothe point, I was able to bully the French out of the British Isles after the Enlish computer player lost its only heir in a battle with the French. The French swooped up the states quickly but about 7 years later the Viking hoard arived. I landed just south of Scottland with about 3 archers units and about 18 units of viking made mostly from Norway (+1 Valor) with a prince that I think was 4 valor and 4 stars. The computer retreated. Then two years later I moved everyone I could south. The computer retreated again. I ended up taking all of the British Isles this way with out a single battle, which is bad for my prince's combat experience. There was a major battle for Flanders. I thought I could keep up the forcing retreat but the French stood their ground. Big battle. I think the battle was going fairly equal or more towards myside. Until...I wasn't watching the prince. He got engaged in a fight with two units and I was unable to get him out before he was killed. Everyone ran away at that point. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif Oh well, win some, loose some.
