Looks like I can't ask them to stop, and I don't have any casus belli so I can't declare war to them. Wrestling with the interface some more, I figure out who is in charge and open diplomacy with them. So, I split off some of my army from Silesia and walk over to them. I get non-critical messages warning me I'm under attack. They march up and, to my surprise, start besieging three of my territories- including, to my irritation, the bishop I was working on winning over. I click on them, and after a ton of wrestling with the interface I eventually conclude they're armies of vassals of my vassals, flying under the flag of 'Greater Poland'. Near the end of this campaign, I notice a pair of armies with unfamiliar flags marching across my terrain.

I raise the levies and kick his teeth in. I dispatch my chaplain to start influencing him. So, if I understand it properly, if I make him like me more than he likes the pope, I'll get income from him. He was listed as one of my vassal bishops in the religion tab, and he liked the pope more than he liked me. At the Northern tip of my nation, there's a little country ruled by a bishop-prince. Maybe you can help me with two questions I had. (on the bugginess front, I broke the tutorial several times when I was going through all of them, but didn't notice anything obviously broken when I was playing- although I'm not familiar enough with the game to be sure I'd catch a bug, either) (saying this with only 4-5 hours of experience with it so far, so take with a grain of salt) I ended up pre-ordering it, because I could really go for some giant historical strategy gaming right now. Crusader Kings 2 feels a little better with regards to the first and third, and a lot better with regards to the second of these complaints. (coming from a background of HoI2 and EU3, with assorted expansions) The pacing, the selection of decisions points for players, and the interface and presentation are all let down the epic scope and detail that serve them. I love the grand strategy conceit of Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron, but find they fail as games. I just tried out the demo for this last night. However, if after hitting the 'play' button you IMMEDIATELY click on any province on the map, you will instead play as the ruler of that province.

Quick demo hint - officially you're limited to playing one of four characters in the demo. Time is limited to 20 years (entire game goes from 1066 to 1452), but still gives you a pretty good idea about tha game. You wage war, develop plots, and yes arrange marriages with the goal to becoming master of medeival europe.ДЄnyways, the game comes out next Tuesday, and Paradox has released a demo. You play as a medeival dynasty - sure you want to build up your kingdom, but really you want to make sure that it's your family that succeeds and thrives.

The original Crusader Kings from Swedish developer Paradox came out in 2004 or 2005, and despite being a deeply flawed game in many respects, it was still a heck of a lot of fun, and is one that I have contineud to come back to for years. I don't know if there's much interest in strategy games here in GESC, but I thought I'd post about an upcoming game I'm pretty excited about.
