The most recent beta patch seems to have added an 'attach' command where an army can be attached to another of a different country. If the AI acts upon it as well as the CK2 AI does, then that could explain it.

Playing England and outnumbering your scottish adversaries 3:1? Too late, they are led by Sean Connery, the 6/6/6 general! GGs.

Interesting. Does the AI ever use it? I haven't seen it being used in CKII yet, which is what usually loses the Crusades for the Europeans.

Might make small countries get involved in wars instead of sitting on their landlocked provinces and watching their ally lose a battle since the other side had 1000 more men. I wouldn't mind having some OPM superior tech units helping me in a fight, might even turn the tide of the battle.

[Digital Hellhound]

The AI uses it in CK2 now, at least. It fixes the ohgodfrustrating 'allied armies fleeing because they can only see themselves and not the millions of others defending the same province'. Incidentally, this has resulted in successful crusades against the big Caliphate without my intervention, oh yeah.

They also get mystical reinforcements from out of nowhere, just like Muscowy... Or that is what I like to call them.

Now, unintentionally losing with the Le Big Bleu Blob, that is a real feat, alright.

[Micro102]

Those magical reinforcements are probably an activate-able event. It usually comes with some side effects.

That is why I said that is what I like them. I am not sure about Scotland's, but Muscowy's is a descentralization based event were you cede more power to the nobles in return for 13,000 horsemen and reduced WE.

[Zrk2]

Heh, they actually stacked up into a big stack of 9 and took down an army. That was 5 of them working together. I was speechless for a moment.

Idiots in large enough numbers can be effective on occasion.

Now I'm looking for a mod, what do you guys recommend?

[Rakonas]

Depends on what you want a mod for. If you're like me and just want totally new things to do, then miscmods or orbis occultus terrestre would be good. If you want new game mechanics/balance then maybe you'd like Death and Taxes or MEIOU or some such thing.

[Rex_Nex]

Yea, Miscmods is good if you want to keep the vanilla gameplay. D&T is good if you dont mind altering the balance, and MEIOU is good if you like overhauls. Of course, there's always Magna Mundi if you want to be hardcore, but it doesn't work with the latest expansion. You'll need to downgrade.

This might just be the best succession I ever had.

Too bad Saxony, Burgundy and The Palatinate were electors.

[Tyler6498]

On my Bavarian game I have pretty much vassalized 80% of the HRE, punched Austria, Bohemia, and Brandenburg in the nose and I scare Poland My country hasn't really grown persay, but I have them all vassalized so large gobs of 3-7k armies rush at anyone who attacks me usually resulting in 40-50k stack on 1 province.

[Dutchling]

Just PU'd Würtenberg and Thüringen. This game goes surprisingly well.

[Rex_Nex]

Doin' pretty good as Serbia. Took all of the balkans, big portions of Hungary and Byzantium, and I have Croatia vassalized. Once the 50 year wait is up, I'll be able to diploannex Croatia and form Illyria.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've never seen Illyria before, so I'm excited! My current issue is that the game crashes 2-3 minutes into play on this save, so... I'll be a very sad puppy if it doesn't let me past this. I'm so close!


Edit: Yep, cant get past. GGs :c

Its actually an Orthodox specific event. Need lots of WE to trigger it, but its quite handy, particularly for Bryzantium.
