Can't remember offhand - I'll re-install it tomorrow and get back to you
Anyone still playing Medieval II?

Rambling and inconsistent
I hate the game because it's stupidly and inexplicably impossible to battle the ai in multiplayer, and my favorite thing in the series is to play skirmish against bots with a friend. So there.
There wasn't even a reason to remove bots. I mean, seriously...

I still play Stainless Steel if you would like to play ever.
I've just started replaying the game as England and so far this is what happened...
I first started to build up my nation and took the nearby rebel settlements
I then built up more of my cities and castles and attacked Scotland
I crushed Scotland later on in the game
I took another rebel settlement on the French border
Then France attacked me and I defeated 3 French Armies at the battle
I took Paris and a few other French cities at the beginning of the war and decide to call a truce
Then Milan attacked me out of the blue and I lost one city
The Mongols soon followed and invaded Eastern Europe
I had another victorious battle against Milan and then I was attacked again in Paris and there is where I ended the session.

Best advice I can come up with is gearing up for the upcoming Mongolians, or holding on the conquest of new lands beyond France. Let the Mongolians clean house for you. Then you wipe them out.
Does anyone know how client kingdoms work? I just received notice that the Moors and Spain gave up their independence and are now client kingdoms, but I don't know what exactly that entails. I'm guessing that means that Spain is a client kingdom of the Moors since Spain was mentioned second and the Moors are doing fairly well?
It's effectively a full alliance; it's supposedly equivalent to vassal states in Civ, but seems a bit of an odd mechanic from my point of view
Hmmm... so shouldn't they in theory keep that alliance? I got a notice a couple turns later that they'd broken their alliance, which seemed somewhat surprising.

Its called Total War for a reason (mostly that reason is they don't know how to program a working diplomatic AI).
I'm not sure that Total War AIs have the provision built into Civ IV ones that every Civ is always actively trying to win; this does mean that they sometimes make odd decisions.

Total War AIs are just bad, they never had even a SINGLE dedicated AI programmer until at least Napoleon (they said they would for Empire, but obviously they didn't). They are programmed to encourage them to keep going to war with their neighbours though.

And they go to war against their neighbors... even if the whole thing is stacked against them.

err, sorry for barging in, but I saw this thread title and... am I the only one still playing Medieval I ?
You, sir, deserve a medal. Medieval 1 is one of the best strategy games I've ever played.

Yes, yes you are.
