    While you've answered none of my questions, I have to say that your strategy is either a sign of divinely-inspired genius or sheer unadulterated madness. Using Carroccio Standards as frontline spearmen to pin enemy chargers and infantry in place is... ridiculously exploitative of their infinite morale. The Machiavellian inside me approves.

    The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.

    I'd be glad to say it was my idea. It was this forum which inspired me to try obstacle abuse when some regular talked about Carroccios blocking city gates... after that, I made some experiments myself in two campaigns as the Venetians and as the Hungarians (hired two True Crosses for the same purpose).
