traitors suck!

[PittBull260]

i hate traitors dude
everytime i play and get a big, organized, rich country together, my neighboring "ally" betrays me and attacks and makes my empire collaps, i ALWAYS loose that way...
like today, i was playin as the turks, expanded to constantinople, had a good rich country all my forces were to the west(there was 4 crusades attacking me at constantinople) so my east part of the empire only had a few men there, and then when i defeated the huge crusades, the egyptians attack rum,armenia, and lesser armenia.... MAN, i was so damn pissed, and so the egyptians and the huge crusades brought my empire down, TRAITORS SUCK!

I've got some traitors for ya! I was playing HRE, the French wanted to move a crusade through my territory. I say no, fuguring my numerical inferoriority wont matter becuase, well, they're french. Turn after, half my generals rebel, taking out all my reserve troops. Darn I think to myself, now I don't have enough troops, but at least i still control all my provinces... The next turn, all my remaining troops were split in half AGAIN by another rebellion...

Let me clarify this:
A traitor is someone who swore fealty to you, recognizing you as his/her overlord. He/She then betrays you. Simple.

Hey guys let's not let this get out of hand.

Please consider what you post next.



Ok, since I use the same technique ( a lot ) I guess I don't mind that sometimes the AI does it. I have a tendency to turtle along until the timing is right and then hit some poor faction that is looking the other way, or shows weakness. I do this because its easier than taking on a strong enemy, and also because I do not want other factions to get all of those provinces.

Bottom line, you have to leave a strong army in every province that is adjacent to another faction, regardless of whether they are allies or not. In STW it was the Uesugi, they would offer an alliance then attack the next turn, in MTW it seems to be the Egyptians and French.

Since you are out to rule the world, eventually you will turn on every other faction. So expect them to do the same, it makes the game more challenging.
