Hmmm, this is getting pretty rough now - the Pope, after excommunicating me has now asked Catholic nations to declare a Crusade against me. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
What he doesn't know is that I've got an invasion army building up in Greece, lots of chivalric men-at-arms (I'm still in early/middle period) from Constantinople, Royal Knights from Saxony, Vikings (my fodder) from Scandinavia, Chivalric Spearmen from Poland and mangonels/catapults/ballistae from Bulgaria (I own all those provinces) - and very shortly we're going to take a trip to Rome.

Not only that, the war against the Germans is going really well - I've taken Freisland, Bohemia and Franconia, and have gotten them holed up in their castle in Swabia. Plus I killed the Holy Roman Emperor in battle during the attack on Franconia - I was sieging their castle with 600 men when they sallied forth with reinforcements from Austria (I think) and all of a sudden I was facing 1300 men. I had 60 Royal Knights who took some grievous losses but they were led by a prince who was literally the last knight left, but he killed the German Emperor in personal combat.
It was beautiful to watch him chase this fleeing bloke down and kill him.
This is a totally awesome game. I'm starting to develop a system for keeping track of all my stuff now. Love it.
