Does anyone think the looting and raiding when you take control of a region is excessive? You try and take a well developed region to boost your nation's power, win a great victory, only for your uncontrollable and greedy army to tear down all your newly conquered buildings. For example, my Scilian Army kicked the Byzantines out of Greece. The victors tore down 7 buildings and damaged 7 more. Only a keep, and a couple of other minor buildings were left. In effect, 80 years or more of achievements had been lost by a bunch of drunken and filthy beggars in armour. The worrying thing is the frequency that the AI repeatedly takes control of other nation's regions, often the control switching back and forth between 2 or more nations. It's no wonder the AI ends up with so many barren regions as it's manages to reduce the technology there to something resembling the stone age.
I don't suppose there is any way to reduce the frequency or chances of buildings being destroyed? It's even more annoying when you pour your limited resources into building up a region, lose it to a civil war, then take it back only to have everything you build torn down by your own army, and all for a few measly florins.
