Play is Mide. Get legitimacy to 20. Increase my influence over the turns. Wars with Vikings start. Winning. Legitimacy drops down to -1 in like 10-15 turns. Does not increase despite taking land in Ireland and defeating Viking armies. This needs fixing.

When I attack a settlement I only ever get the option to 'maintain' a siege. At which point after a few turn the garrison will usually try to break the siege before surrendering a turn or so later. I want to be able to attack the actual settlement in a set battle and use siege engines (ram, siege tower etc.) How do I do this since the option is always greyed out when a attack a settlement....

anyone

Went about as expected, unnecessary wars against me the player, the AI can outrange my armies and lay out way more distance than me, Breifne straight up crossed a river in a retreat, walked across half that province, then was able to (the same turn) return half their army, cross the river, and wall across the province and capture a minor settlement. Like.. what.. my army can't cross a river and have to wait an entire turn before doing so. Trash ai, and I remembered why I uninstalled. I legit cannot stand...

I put my small army face to face with the enemy small army, while my javelin throwers were hiding in the enemy's flank. As they started throwing, they were obviously detected by the enemy, only to go hiding again, which made the enmy forget they were there. Even earlier titles didn't have this flaw. This is inexcuseable and it shows this game was made in a hurry to grab some extra cash....
