It took me about 20 minutes after becoming a member to this site to be able to post a message because I clicked the wrong link in the email the sent me and didnt realize it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-wall.gif
but anyway to my first question
1. Disloyal generals who become unruly during times of peace? What is the deal there? I'm playing version 2.01, the version installed with VI, and I was playing as the Turkish. I wiped out all the Egyptians and the Byzantines and decided I'd stop with the violence and work on my economy. I had full loyalty or one less than full loyalty and the same ruler throughout the entire war with these countries. I began working on my economy and was becoming quite happy because of the cash flow when after 5 years of non violence, about 3/4 of my generals were some how at 4 or less loyalty ... yea I was wondering about that one. I had the same king and didnt do any treason acts so I have no idea why they would rebel against me. I ended up restarting as a different faction and gave the turks a break.
2. Unlogical alliances. If Im playing as the Italians and Im allied with Germany and Hungary, both non muslim countries obviously, and I attack Turkey, who they were allied with strangely considering on how all christians were supposed to hate Muslims at that time, and then they cancel my alliance? WHY? Shouldn't these non muslim countries be glad that I sent a crusade against turks in the first place and seek to reward me with beautiful princesses and teutonic knights but no... instead they unally with me and now I have to worry about an attack on 3 fronts. The only reason I can see behind this is because they wanted to prevent me from spreading too quickly... which would make sense but if the turks are weakened and the Hungarians are right there wouldnt they wanna hop in too and grab some lands instead of worrying me
3. How exactly do you get money from the pope? If I'm lucky, ONCE out of every game I will get my 1000 florins from the pope himself... and I have no idea why. I ally myself with only catholic countries... nope no gold. I dont attack the catholics... still nada. I have positively NO idea on how to get gold from the pope, and it would be nice for those early stages of the game when you are struggling for cash.
4. Whats the deal with the lack of princess marriages to muslims? I can be the most influencial ruler on the map and still no one will marry into my family, but HEY alliances are just super... and then with the lack of outside princesses comes all the inbred conditions I had at all times a minium of 5 generals with some sort of inbred condition to him and more popping out every turn. It's just too much...
well i ran out of questions for now I'll think of more later.
thanks for listening to me ramble
