Hi I have played medievil for quite a while and some things have puzzled me I would appreciate it if anyone can answer any of the following.

1. Does the computer cheat finacially? They seem to build a huge ammount of ships and soldiers do they cheat to afford it? Also what happens when you go in the red for any length of time is the only penalty u cannot build?

2. When you get invaded and retreat to your stronghold what decides if an army of loyalists rise up or not? I got into a very messy campaign with the french involving them invading about 8 of my provencies. I retreated in all , all had 200% loyalty and in about 4 of them I got loyalists and teh other none. Why?

3. Do the Turkish or Arganose ever ever ever dominate? or the danes? When I play its always the spanish/french/english/byz/egyptians that seem to get the upper hand.

4. If you loose a battle does it end up affecting your popularity in other provinces or with your generals?

Thanks!!!
