A bunch of odd questions, please add yours or answer these.

"11. Personal playing question, does anyone ever actually try and get good on chivary. I usually get stuck with a buttload of dread because I have to use assasins to take out other agents. "

I try to get high chivalry generals. They give a growth bonus= more taxes in your cities. There is a thread somewhere on these boards about more info on this.

The main reason is however that blitzing and high dread leads to too quick a victory so I prefer to play a sort of iron man rule which is to always act chivalrous. This considerably makes the game harder( no sacking or exterming, release or ransom only, attack only non-caths or excommed factions).I also try for high reputation and relations, though I realize in Vanilla this aspect is largely broken.

On the chivalry topic, I am sorta like Razor, except I will sack SOME cities if they are not of my religion. And if they are really really rich! Like Jerusalem on the first crusade.

What is funny is that I blitz alot yet usually have tons of high chivarly generals because when I call a crusade, I get multiple armies to join to get the crusade bonuses giving all of my generals large chivalrous boosts.
