    Angry Problems with what i think is vanilla version is (original M2TW)

    Hello there from Romania...

    WEll i like the game a lot....but seems to me the AI is very very pardon my French stupid. Well I played all factions...and recently I have started Polish, and so on I grow my provinces [yes Turtle style; this is for Askthepizzaguy] field armies, etc. etc. but in like 20 30 turns the danes assault me...no problem so far...they siege my town Breslau and i sally for an attack...now the weirdness starts...i charge out the gates and to my surprize the whole Danish army stands still and watches my troops as they encircle them and then get medieval on there asses with crossbow fire and the finishing move spearpoints . Other oddity? Same scenario...only this time they have a stack of archers...archers shoot, run out of arrows and stand still to get sniped by my Merc Crossbows...Want more? Even units with IMPETOUS who would rather go postal then await orders just stand still and accept there untimely demise...Still not good enough? Played other factions (Sicily, Milan Venice) got Ajaccio and Cagliari and not once did any of the opposing factions did try to land an army to wrestle them from my hands. What the hell is going on here? It happened to me so often that i even contemplated abandoning the game. Can anyone help me ?

    @ Andrei. Have you patched your game. AI not attacking those Islands sounds very much like you are playing 1.0. In 1.2 Islands will get invaded and the AI will react to sallies.

    Hey there Andrei!

    Another option once you have patched vanilla to 1.2, is download Lusteds Lands to conquer 3.1. Again this improves the AI out of site and doesn't change the overall feel of the game.

    This is an excellent mod and very easy to use.

    Speak to anyone, it comes highly recommended. After you get a taste for mods, you won't be able to stop.

    All the best

    From as I remember it.....

    Lands to Conquer creates it own folders. All you have to do is download and run the install when it asks. It creates its own icon on your desktop and you use that one instead of the conventional M2TW icon.

    The biggest changes you will notice are
    - instead of every turn being 2 years, every turn is 1.5 turns (this means you have 300 turns to complete your task instead of 200.
    - instead of conquering 45 regions, you have to conquer 35 before achieving victory.
    - Units have been rebalanced and are much better to use.

    Enjoy

    The same happens to me on vanilla, they do not attack islands, and during sieges, if you assault the enemy while they are standing outside your gates, they just wait there, i put my catapult outside my gates and shot at them, while they just watched and began burn. If i charge my armies into them, i get a response, but i dislike moving me men from the safety of my walls and ramming them into a much larger army, its destressing
