No, the problem is my troops won't go IN the city :\ I tell them to move, and all that happens is they stand outside of it >< Ill just invade Kent, it's the last English controlled place in the English Ilses (ironic) other then that they've been pushed to Normandy and modern day netherlands! Ha! Now im thinking of starting another game as the Papal States....though you prolly cant issue a Crusade, can you? My only problem with the first period is at the start of the game, Ireland sucks, cause the miolitary is weak and the english provinces constantly declare war on you, it took me like an hour just to unite Ireland only to then fight a pitched war against the english provinces for it
Til i finally invaded england and took over places like York
then the foul english provinces stopped bothering me.
I find the best thing to do is to just get your kingdom power up. No one attacks you once your at 4 or 5, and if you do it like i did (when i had the 3 irish provinces) it wasn't too expensive, BUT it took a while to replenish my peity.
