[quote=SyrianHamster] Not sure if it's possible, I've left Germany horribly undefended. It has a militia force, which you have not seen yet, and by next season the Emperor's army would have been replenished. We'll see when we get there, but what you'll find in Germany will be about 1/3 of the Holy Roman Empire's entire army. Meanwhile Egypt and Byzantium are just sitting there, like "Yup, gonna build our army up bitches" just like they always do in the total war games. Poor Christendom. [/quote] Hmmm... Well, I have a blood vendetta against Otto anyway. I figure once he dies, morale of the Empire falters. Both armies go back and take the Czech lands and launch a multi-pronged offensive against Germany.
