I play MTW:VI (no patch downloaded yet...I'm lazy). There are several factions that consistantly do nothing in my games (I've recently played as Poland, Byz, and Sicilian Normans, but it applied when I played some others too).
DANES: maybe, maybe, maybe Sweden if I've not already taken it. Then they sit there and do NOTHING. Yet, I can build an impressive empire with them.
THE POPE: NOTHING but interfere with me and side with aggressors who attack me unprovoked....unless he re-emerges b/c someone took him out (I don't fight the pope)....then he usually takes all of Italy at the least.
ENGLISH: ALWAYS death by Frog. ALWAYS. The only time they are not wiped out by Francois is when I am Francois...and then sometimes too.
ARAGON: Will sometimes take a province or two....only to lose them later, but no one ever eliminates them. I've played them once and had to cheat to even survive.
ALMONDS: (what my boss calls them): Initially successful, then ALWAYS wiped out by Spain and/or HRE. Constantly re-ermerging with 90% archers and handgunners. DEATH by sword within a decade or so.
TURKS: With one exception. In current Polish campaign, they are still around, though weak in 1330. Perhaps b/c I destroyed the Purple Turk Eaters?
Are these results consistant in your campaigns?
