Ok thanks Geezer. I just decided to restart my French campaign because it was going way too slow for my liking.
I'm not very computer-smart at all but I can try it when/if I want to post a pic.

Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?
92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..
Ok, started up my French campaign again and it's going off almost perfectly. England's continental forces are no more. France has reclaimed what was rightfully hers. After the fall of their final outpost in Aquitaine, the king of England immediately sent his daughter to marry into my family and I accepted. I'm at peace with everyone and my income is going really good.

In this case, "vanilla" refers to the original MTW game, without the Viking Invasion expansion pack, and with no mods attached/installed. Since you have the Eras version of the game (which inclues Viking Invasion), that means you don't have the vanilla version.Originally Posted by Derfasciti

The Kingdom of Hungary: 1256 A.D to 1277 A.D
The latter half of the 13th century was a dark period for Hungary. In 1257, an English crusade passed through Hungary, and next year Bulgaria, on it's way to Anatolia. The same crusade arrived in Trezibond in 1259 after travelling across the Black Sea.
In 1259 King András III died of an illness, and was succeeded by King Lázló IV, already an old man, aged 62. King Lázló was indeed not a great man, he was a known coward, yet still a cruel man who executed every prisoner he took. There were also rumours that he was in fact insane. King Lázló didn't rule for long however, he died out of old age the very next year, and was succeeded by King Béla IV, aged 52. Béla was also prone to executing every prisoner he took, and was on top of that lazy.
In 1259 a keep was finished in Walachia, and in 1262, a son to the already aged king was born. Thereafter followed a few peaceful and calm years.
In 1266 an Italian crusade arrived in Hungary, and in the same year Prince István became of age. Thereafter followed a grim period for the kingdom.
In 1267, a massive army lead by the Khan of the Golden Horde himself invaded Moldavia. The outnumbered Hungarians retreated to the castle, awaiting reinforcements. In 1268 reinforcements arrived, and the Hungarians were able to beat the Golden Horde, though at a great cost:
An heir to the throne was born in the same year.
However, just the year after the Golden Horde launched a second attack on Moldavia, inflicting upon the Hungarians their greatest defeat ever:
More than 400 men were killed in the battle, and just as many were taken prisoners. These were ransomed for a reasonable sum of money, though.
In 1269, another tragedy struck Hungary as king Béla died of an illness. He was succeeded by King István V, only aged 19. István was the first king in many years to be under the age of 50 at the time he became king.
The next year, Mongol troops attempted to storm the castle in Moldavia. This failed, however, and the Khane himself was killed during the attack.
King István, worried by the successes of the Egyptians to the east decided to invade Armenia in an attempt to cut the sultanate in half, isolating the Sultan in the northern provinces, near his enemy the Khan.
In 1271 Armenia was conquered without a fight, but the Sultan himself rushed to its defence the next year, and defeated the Hungarians:
The number of casualties were almost equal, although the Egyptians managed to capture many prisoners. These were ransomed immediately.
On top the defeat in Armenia, the Egyptian fleet destroyed an Hungarian one in the Black sea in 1272.
King István did not want to loose this opportunity, as the Egyptians were weakened by the last battle, and he had the Sultan himself within reach, he commanded a second invasion of Armenia in 1273, this turned out to be disastrous as the Egyptians recieved reinforcements in time:
And after suffering a second defeat in the Black Sea in 1275, all ideas of expanding further to the east were put aside.
In the late 1270's a few good news eased the situation a bit: in 1276 King István got married, and in the next year Prince Károly became of age, and a son to the king was born.

No pic of the kingdom this time as I forgot to take one and can't be bothered to start the game just to do that.
I really hate the eastern factions, I hate horse archers, and all I fight is horse archers, and all my good troops are horse archers. Gotta download a mod were all factions are restricted to artillery, infantry and cavalry - no hybrids or stuff![]()
It's not easy being a man, you know. I had to get dressed today... And there are other pressures.
