King of the Romans OOC thread IX

That's one of our first real losses so far (excluding autocalc) and a bad one at that. Almost all of an Imperial Outremer army destroyed for half of one Mongol stack. In general, I'm very pleased with how this game is going. The OOC changes we made about halfway through to increase difficulty really seem to have started paying off. We've already had 4 deaths in battle (5 if you count Ulrich's pseudo-suicide). Add the total lack of unity in the Diet into the mix, and we're actually far from secure. A big change from where we were by this time in WOTS.
