Assassin Spam by Milan

[Von Nanega]

Now I Sacked and Looted Milan. Then I looked around and noticed the rest of Italy is held by HRE except for Rome. Hmm.....thinking.....thinking, I know!
I gift the trashed city of Milan to the Pope. Yay, HRE beseiges Milan, angering the Papacy, I slaughter the HRE army, Pope loves me some more. As I rest briefly on my laurels Milanese assassins appear and try to knock off the general of the sack of Milan. EEK! I retreat north up the pass and hold. Milanese general with a few troops show up. I look over and see the Papal army of Milanese occupation is next to me. BUHAHAHAHAHAHA, I attack the Milanes, bringing in the Papacy and now THEY are ecommed too! Time to get a crusade against those heretics.

Just make the assassins and spies not buildable and you will restore some realism back to the game. The AI spams a ridicious amount of spies and lesser so with assassins. These are building slots that could be producing troops!

That's a bit drastic, don't you think? I rather like the espionage aspect of the game.

But then again, different strokes for different folks and all that. Good thing the game is so moddable

Now playing as Sicily. I was ready for the most part for Milan assassins. I burned those inns by stationing my assassins by each of their cities. One turn, burn baby burn and they were out of business. I then kept those buildings down. No more spies and assassins for them! This war should go better!
