    Walter, how did you deal with the coversion of the Catholic regions in such a short time span? I know one trick is to make an army of priests, but when Catholic priests are always encroaching on your lands, you need some extra priests to stay behind and deal with them.

    And you're right. The Russian infantry is pretty crappy. The Boyar sons do okay though. I had about 3 groups of them (whats that, 180 guys?) hold off around 3-4 groups of Danish spearmen. Though in the end, I was lef with about 10 of them.

    Rawr!


    About Priests, I always have the max possible and with the great relations with Lithuania they form a barrier basically to other priests. The only time I had a catholic in my homeland was a Polish level 1 priest but I keep my 10-piety bishop in there so he didn't do anything! To be honest there really hasn't been many priests at all of any faction that i've seen. Not even Egyptian Imams and they have a huge empire at the moment. Meh!

    I have had a problem with heretics in Scandinavia, I think the av orthodox is about 60% in Eiksurand (horrific spelling), Bergen, Oslo, Hamar, Uppsala, Skara, Stockholm and Lund. The heretic turnover is probably one every 3 turns which is really annoying but I have a priest in each region then a 5-piety free roamer who polices the area basically. Arhus Groningen and Hamburg each have 3 priests so any catholics that go into there tend to just leave straight away as they aren't doing anything.

    Update on crusades, after I clicked end turn (turn 66) there was a crusade on Toulouse, which was then immediately cancelled. So that was useful. Still no jihad either and i'm getting worried about the Mongols as I haven't a clue what to do when they arrive really besides running away. Novgorod earns me 4.5k a turn so I really really don't want to lose it but I don't really have any means of defending it.

    I've taken Nottingham and London with minimal losses - probably about 100 men from the battles to take them. I did that by attacking small stacks outside the town so they reinforced and were hence butchered to the last man. Reputation has dropped to reliable now because I sacked both Nott and London and my Grand Duke is now Silver-tongued, woot!
