You had a fight with an army 6 times and it is still bothering you? lol.
The game has alot of problems with the AI and i agree that currently its the only biggest thing that has to be fixed but your situation is a bit ridiculous man. But yea you are right, its good that you unistalled the game, its clearly not for you.
On this game the enemy army can magicaly disengage in safety and they march to the sea where suddently a ship appears out of nowhere !!! and enemy army embarks and leaves. But as soon as i get my army to do something else the enemy army that just had routed returns and attacks some defensless little county on the other side of my domain. How would that all be possible? Without some kind naval superiority at the area the enemy should be unable to embark on troop-transport ships. And moreover an army under slaughter shoudln't be able to just disengage and run to the sea in the first place! And also as well all know an already defeated army wouldn't have the nerve to go and immediatly attack again. This whole thing is so ridiculus. As if no beta tester played a war ever in this game. I really feel tricked about this. I read countless of reviews prior to get this game watched many video reviews. Not a single reviewer mentioned this obvious big flaw!
So if all these reviewes are not just idiots or payed off from the company the only other logical explanation is that they never mentioned this problem because they never encountered it. And they never encountered it because they kept playing little barons or counts. If you never try to play an empire you probably never encounter this terrible AI way of play the war because any little wars your would have as count would be with neighbouring counties. So on that case the enemy armies wouldn't have the insentive to go anywhere else. But when you are playing a larger Kindom especialy if that Kingdom has lands on shores then the AI would troll you by doing this that i described.
Yea this game isn't for you. There is no point telling you anything else or giving advice because i feel you aren't even willing to listen. The fact that you are having trouble with small kingoms as an empire shows that there is no human way you even gave yourself a second to learn the game. Just uninstall.
Serbia is at a part of the map that has not so many shores so there is harder to be trolled by the enemy AI embarking/disembarking trick. You probably started with a small county and expanded little by little through wars and other means with direcly neighbouring counties. On those cases the enemy armirs can't do that trolly trick with the sea/ Try play Byzantines and then come talk.
Lol. Aight man il go play as the most powerful nation in the game. Screw the fact that i played as a nation that can get eaten up by their neighbours within 30 years...see you in a bit im sure im going to go through many hardships.
Oh forgive me! So you saying that a game that has gone so deep on so many small details and about how baronies>counties>douchies>kindoms>empires work and how the various families corelate and how you rule through vassals and has the player to learn all that in the first place , on the one hand, is perfectly fine to be tottally unrealistic and illogical on the way wars and battles can be played on the other hand. Well this kind of argument is trully ridiculus! But you did a good job comedy-wise there since i had a laugh.
That's a lot of big words coming from someone who didn't even spent 40 Hours on this game.
You don't understand how warfare works and still you see yourself as this guy who knows more than everybody else.... You're like the guys who call "cheater" on anyone that beats them; it's not because you don't understand how you're not winning that it MUST be the game's fault. To be honest I don't wanna give you advice because you obviously don't wanna hear it because you're so great and good that it's the game who's bad and not you. Yes the game has problems, and warfare is barebones, but the way you win wars is the same as it's been for a long while on Paradox games. It's not all about winning as many battles as you can and occupying the entire enemy country, it's about winning battles that matter and sieging provinces that matter. For instance, if you wage war to get county "X", you'll have to siege county "X" at some point to see a real change in warscore, especially if you fight an empire that has like 40 different counties and can afford to lose nearly all of them. Going straight for the capital will help but ultimately unless your enemy has like two counties, it's not gonna end the war, especially if the war hasn't been going on for over ten years. EU IV has been built on this principle (Only the CBs and peace deals are different) and it's not some great masonic scheme pulled by Paradox to trick people into buying the game. It's just the most balanced way this can be done.
So if you disagree with / don't understand this principle then the game, and similar Paradox titles, simply aren't meant for you. Just go play Total War or something.
Thats the trick you use there. You make people think that playing an empire is "eaZy" and playing a small county is harder. In fact the way this game is designed the smallest country you play the easier it is cause you can solve your problems via other means and not wars so you will not easily come to fact the game's serious flaw which are the wars.
Here is the challege. Go no start a game Byzantine empire and within first hour you will see all these for yourself especialy if you try to use your huge army to defend Sicily from the arab little kindom attacking it. Go try... if you have the guts, be my guest.
PS just remembered another ridiculus thing of this game. You can set your red spawning flag right on the small island and have a huge army of 6000 levies emerge right there! In Sicily... within a couple of days. Hahahaha. So ridiculus.
Count Eudes Robertine of Anjou in 867 got W. Francia then Francian Empire, with crusaders wars vs England, Scandinavia, north Africa
Duke of Aragon -> Got indepentence war vs kingdom of aquitaine, form Kingdom of Aragon, conquer all of Iberia, nice wars vs african guys and Italy
Start as I country of Duklja just at the border of the Byzantine Empire, became Kingdom unite the south Slavs, form Empire, hat a lot of fun with wars. Never was a vassal of anyone
My first games were scandinvaia, Britania with a lot of using of ships, but playing in this parts of the world is super easy.

@ Bogdan I am also not impressed I started as Duklja and have to move to the south fighting in south Italy then Sicily and Africa and then to come back to the Balkans, the Bulgarian were super stable for me in this game and never collapsed so I had all the time two empires vs me and at the end I destroy them both. Now I will make a break from the game but I will try later a Balkan start but this time stay pagan for more fun.
And you go uninstall the game.
If you'd read what this topic was about you would get the fact that im not trying to impress anyone, the topic is about a different subject. So instead of showing me off how big your schlong is with a trivial achievement maybe you should join in on the topic of trying to get people to understand the game better.
Wow that's crazy but we don't remember asking.
Oh i have already uninstalled the game anyway.
But out of curiosity go play Byzantine empire at first era. Then you will see i am not talking out of my ass! Then you will see for yourself how trolly the enemy little army will get. The arab country on the shores of Africa has a claim on Sicily part you hold. He has declared war at you right as you start the game. Try to defend your land. Be my guest. There you will see how the AI plays the war in its full trolly-splendor.
PS Did you know that you can have your huge Byzantine army spawn right on Sicily within 3 days if you set your red army-spawing flag set in Sicily? Another absurdity that. How would that ever been possible? A huge Empire being able to summoan the whole army power right at a distand small island at the middle of Metiteranean within some days? This wouldn't be possible even today!
PS when i first started the game i did the tutorial campaign and i had a blast playing it. But there i had a petty Kindom (dutchy) on south Ireland. There i hadn't experienced that bad stuff cause the wars were with neighbouring little counties so there the flaws of this game were not able to manifest. But when i tried afterwards to do the Byzantines i realized just how badly designed the AI war waging thing is.
