Hi all,
Playing CK-DV latest patch TASS, Georgia in the 1187 scenario - mostly because the situation looked really interesting then. I've been enjoying the game a great deal, but something odd happened - I had Tamar on the throne, and her husband, David Soslan, was my Marshal. (this is how the scenario starts) they're both of the Bagratuni dynasty, so I wasn't worried about their kids not being of my dynasty. But when David Soslan died, I decided to get Tamar another husband - ideally a militarily talented one. However, every time I tried to get a nice military man for a husband, my entire realm became subsumed into the realm of the liege of the husband. Eg, I tried to marry her to a courtier in a county in Bulgaria, and suddenly my entire kingdom became part of that county. Despite this, Tamar was still considered Queen of Georgia, Countess of x provinces, etc. How is this possible? Normally when I see a female ruling a territory without a husband, I try and get one of my sons over there as quickly as possible so that her children are of my dynasty. Eg when I try and marry a male to an unmarried femaile ruler, the male goes to join the female's court. However, when I, as a female ruler, try to get a male courtier over here, my queen randomly goes to join their court instead.
Also, the Mongols have come. They haven't attacked me - instead, they've swept across everything directly north of me, and they now own most of Khazaria and Rus. I don't mind havingt a strong Golden Horde in this game, but I find it boring when they own most of Europe, so I'd like to try and stop their expansion - but they have armies of 20 and 40k - how I can combat this? I've build up the Georgian kingdom so I have around 80k troops altogether, but there's no way I can afford to keep them all in arms for long enough to even try to fight off the various 20 and 40k armies the Mongols throw at me if I declare war on them. But I also don't want to just leave them to rampage over most of Europe...
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Stigandr.
