MASTERPIECE

Decided to play as England, thinking I'd unify the lands and be a noble king. First thing that happens? France declares war on me for no reason.
Ah, diplomacy at its finest.

So naturally, I defend myself, repel their attacks, and boom:
“You’ve been excommunicated!”
What?! I defend my kingdom and suddenly I’m public enemy number one. Pope, buddy, they started it! Next thing I know, half of Europe’s sending assassins to camp outside London like it's some medieval Coachella.

Assassins are lurking in every alley. The Pope says nothing. Cool, cool.

But the second I send my own assassin to even the odds?
“That’s a sin, England! How dare you defend yourself with... the same tactics everyone else is using!”
Cue crusade against me.

Reputation in shambles.
Pope laughs in Latin.

Now half of my cities are on fire, the other half are busy fighting for the Pope who hates me. My assassins? Apparently trained by medieval interns.
