First off, a sort of belated hello. I've posted here just once before but rudely didn't introduce myself. I'm getting back into MTW after a year or so's break, and it's entirely due to the great guides by frogbeastegg. They really made me realise why I was so awful when I first played the game.
Anyway, I was (as the English in about 1220) conducting a small raid into Spain to distract the Pope from my HRE ambitions. I unexpectedly took Cordoba, but didn't really want the hassle of holding it so I slashed, burned and withdrew. Some pretty pathetic rebels cropped up the next year - a unit of militia and a unit of spearmen - but it was the Spanish patriots that really amused me.
The loyal Spaniards, trying desperately to remove the yoke of English opression, raised a valiant force of a trebuchet crew. Just the one. I know the game occasionally makes odd random choices, but that was just weird.
