I bribed as much "rebel states" as possible right from the beginning. The Scots, Welsh, that little province next to Aragon, Sweden, Norway, and last but not least Lithuania. So now i have footholds in North, East AND southern Europe. Forget the west, i AM the west.
Particularly Lithuania is strategically very important. I can block the Mongol invasion there, which will occur somewhere between 1230 and 1250 if i'm not mistaken. Every year there's a lot of mercenaries for hire in Lithuania, which will be desperately needed, since the Mongols bring an army of 15000/20000 men.

I couldnt send armies either, but then the french invaded it, built a port and genorosly *gave* it to me
. The mongol invasion is already been done and I think the Germans crushed them. Ive secured the west coast, and now im thinking of taking over northern Africa and then to the east! By the way, what else can the Bishops/Cardinals do except reduce the chane of an Inquisitor succeeding? The manual states that they can convert people to catholic(or islamic/orthodoxic, depending on religion) belief, but what does this actually do?
