Im seriously baffled by the sorry state that the very hard difficulty of the game is...
Its like ME vs the world!!! No alliances, no diplomacy...
And where is the option to get the eff off my land? Cause the I have the Hungarians standing with a stack outside Sofia in my Byzantine campaign and I cant get them out without breaking a war...
Which by the way breaks out after 7 turns in any attempt to start a campaign,
the sickening feeling that Im playing a Age of Total War bastardization where the Venetians hold Crete at 1080 (oh in which case there are NO dates just some "RTS" like "turns") just gets stronger and stronger...
And the whole reputation thing? Whats about that? It makes NO difference to the "AI" the Venetians backstabbed me and the Hungarians happily allied with them despite the "Very Unstrustworthy" parameter...
The game is challenging on the economical and campaign level, still the battle AI is dumb as rock Ive defeated a Venetian army double my size half of which were feudal and mailed knights with me measily militias...
I just hope that EB2 or another decent mod comes out to make a Total War game out of a AoE clown...
