Successful Crusade/Signing Peace Treaties

[Indy1958]

Dear All:

Good morning from Canada!!! I hope this finds you and yours well. As for me, I could complain...yadda, yadda, yadda.

Last night, I, Indy, playing as France, did successfully complete my first Crusade against Jerusalem!!!!! The Egyptians couldn't believe what hit 'em!!!! Not only that, I also sent a heretic to you know where. All in all, it was a great night for God!!!!!

Now, I have this mission in that I'm supposed to blockade the port of Alexandria in 10 turns. The only problem is that I'm at war with Milan, and I had no idea I was at war with Milan. I have a suspicion that they're allied with the Egyptians.

Is there any way I can sign a peace treaty with them so I can fill this mission? That's how I lost Dijon (aka Mustard Town) to the Milanese, and I don't want that happening again any time soon!!!

Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!

Sincerely yours always,

Indy.

You can't trust the ai for Milan in M2TW. My guess is that this is a feature of the game. So even if you signed an alliance with Milan. Odds are that as soon as you were weak because you were away on crusade (or what ever). You would be betrayed shortly after by Milan.

I don't know about the mechanics of the game, but Milan do seem to be the most untrustworthy of all the factions and I hate them. Ive even taken an irrational disliking to their standard.

Don't sue for peace. Get your own allies, get milan excommunicated, and wipe their butts off the map.

Oh yeah, am still wondering why my member status is still junior, despite making posts.

It is pretty hard to sign a peace treaty with a faction of whom you are at war with their allies. I suggest sign a treaty with Egypt first before you go to Milan
