Anyone else play this game? Only only recently discovered how trade routes work, so i could ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY! This means i can actually govern my kingdom and have an army!

I started my most recent game as Ireland in the High medieval age, and in that period Ireland starts with Cork and Munster, but Ulster is in English control. Instead of warring, i just started making money and improving my cities, and i had an economically powerful Ireland in no time Then I allied with Scotland, and gave them money in their war against England. In Europe France was decimated and now a vassal state, but then instead of declaring war on France, who was being ransacked by England at the time, I declared war on England, and captured Ulster, thus uniting Ireland, then I peaced England.

Then, as I re gathered my coinage and my military, I invaded The now-english controlled Aquitaine (im sad, I expected it to be called Gascony) which is on the South-western coast of France. After capturing it easily, I peaced England again, regathered my forces, and then invaded Cornwall, in south western England, and sieged it for a while, but then as a English army came to relieve the siege, I had to attack, and won with lots of casualties, but then the English left.

PROBLEM
So, I now have all of Ireland, a piece of England and a piece of France. Ireland is one of the Major powers in Europe! Only 1 problem; for what ever reason my soldiers WILL NOT ENTER CORNWALL when I tell them too! This is troubling cause if they run out of food i gotta send them all the way BACK to Ireland to refill there food, and I can't garrison the city with a Marshall! Not that it matters; France is Too weak, England is too weak, Scotland is my best friend, Brittany is a close friend, and Wales only declares war if England does, and I can insta-peace it if they do! Infact, Ireland is the second most powerful nation in Europe, next to Germany! Yay! So war isn't really a problem, but still, i bet a rebel army will pop up eventually, and if my troops are away, then they'll be able to pillage my countryside, not that it matters, Cornwall only makes Fish :\
