Spammer idiot king

[Nodscouterr]

Playing as Cheifdom of Ångermanland(Nowadays Tribe of Satakunta, after inheritance) and I have pledged allegiance to Tribe of Kajanborg as they have elective law I'm next in succesion. Anyway, they go to war with Iceland(Surprise, surprise) And start LITERALLY spamming me with mobilize host's. I start declining 'em, but that REALLY hurts my loyalty, and I'm trying to be as loyal as possible. As my loyalty only goes up by 2.5% per month since I went arbitrary, I snap at 56% loyalty and gives him my regiments. And of course, he sends me 300 regiments to attack Norway, and leaves my 2500 men regiment just standing around, wasting money. Ragequit and then I came to here ask you: WITHOUT switching to Kajanborg, how can I get them to actually use my regiments so this war can end soon? Also a way to stop them from spamming me would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm afraid you can't stop him from sending you requests constantly, that is simply how the AI functions. Though if you do give him the troops, you can set your troop upkeep to a minimum in the treasure screen and your liege will pay for your troops.

On a side note, the fact that it says you're disloyal doesn't change anything. It only opens up the option for you to switch liege's and such.

Actually, most of the time I go unloyal, my liege declares war on me.

Thanks for the tip on army upkeep, had totally forgotten. Time for some revenge on that goddamn idiot!

If I recall correctly, that is because when you refuse mobilization requests, your liege gets claims on all of your titles (for free).

Holy crap, seriously? Does this work the other way around as well?

Trick him

When he requests your forces, mobilize all but your smallest regiment. Then accept his request. He will then mobilize any un-mobilized forces. Then afterwards you can demobilize the other regiments.

If I remember correctly, he will not ask you again, as you have already mobilized for him (not 100% on this one though ... but try it out and see if it works)

Also if you're sufficiently disloyal he probably won't ask you to mobilize troops any more.

Correct if you are at 20% or less loyalty he will not ask for your troops.

I guess the problem is getting there without having the liege gain claims on all your titles

Once you refuse, he gets claims, no way to prevent that. And even if you don't refuse, then the AI will often claim titles of a human vassal first.

Though in my current game as Brandenburg, that hasn't happened yet (120 years into the game). Maybe because the German king has been busy with a lot of other things.

yeah ... the "reward" for being a loyal vassal :|

Hur, try being a Loyal Vassal, getting the Event to become Friends with the King, and the very next day he DOW's on you. lol

The AI is brilliant in this fashion, it tries to get under your skin and break your will. Sooner or later, you will cave.
