Question about Alliances and Military Access...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but in RTW, you made an alliance with another nation and then try to demand military access, they always said "No, do you think we'll allow you access to our armies and use them against us?!".

But in M2:TW, I have made three alliances with different nations (Moors, Egypt and Venice) and even put a lil cash in to getting military access, which they give. Now, how do I control their armies? As I've been a few sieges on SP with their army near enough next to me... Send a Diplomat to their army and demand they attack, for example "The Rebels"... With some incouragement of course, they accept but they do nothing?!?:wall:

What do I do to get their armies under my control, as I assumed that it was possible from the way Rome was implying.....:inquisitive:

Can anyone assist a co-general?:dizzy2:

Military access allows yo uto march your armies through their lands without loss of standing and you dont have to stop when you bump into their armies

Errr, no, that's neither what military access means, nor what they say when they refuse it to you. What they say is along the lines of "do you really think we're going to let your armies in our country so you can take our cities by surprise ?". Military access means just that : access. That is to say, they will let *your* armies move through their lands without taking offense or attacking them.

Really?!? Damn..... I wish I could have use 'em...
Oh well, more recruits are needed then :)
