Hello

[Drake]

Hi there, just joined up. Been playing Medieval for about 5 months there, finally got a PC that can run it. Great game, goes without saying, definitely favour Christian and Orthodox sides in campaign but like factions like the Swiss and Papacy in multiplayer. Which, on the topic of the Papacy, brings me to my first (but definitely not last, I am impressively bad at this game) question.

Got the Viking Invasion expansion, patched it up and started as Danes, playing away quite happyily (well reasonably happy, bloody Holy Roman Empire) when noticed that I can't build a charter house, hence no Crusades. Click on other rival provinces and they have them and launch Crusades all the time. Whats up? I've not been excommunicated, just can't build it at all. Got fortresses in Denmark, Norway, Sweden with Chruches, Monastaries, Requilaries and Cathedrals, everything in all. Aany ideas please?

Hello and welcome http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

You can't build Crusades as the Danes.
If you wish to you have to mod the game slightly.
I can't tell you where to find that info, as I don't actually know, I think the Dungeon is a good place to look.

Some factions can't build Chapter house, so they can't crusade. Danes and Aragon are the two that I can remember.

Greetings, Drake.

Sorry about the Crusades, but don't worry about it. You don't need Crusades. You can make Huscarls. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

Oops, I didn't know that. Cheers all.

Must have been the Hun or the Poles that I was thinking of.

After you mod the game so much, you can't remember what it was like in the original.

[katank]

yep, polish, huns, and danes can't build crusades.

Welcome to the Org
Don´t worry about not being able to crusade as the Danes since you´re gonna have enough fun with all your uber-powerful viking units. In early they´re the games absolutely best units and not much can stand against them.
Don´t forget to build up your trade network so you can support your armies since Scandinavia isn´t rich enough to support that many stacks. Good luck and happing hunting

[katank]

viking units are certainly very powerful.

however, I would like to point out the effectiveness of medium cav early on.

they only cost 150 IIRC and are quite strong cav available to the three noncrusading factions that are good for the early rush and complements your infantry heavy armies well.
