Blueberry I wasn't talking about the mercs. They kicked out mercs, HRE, crusaders, and anyone else not part of their alliance. They now control the EU side of the map. Apparently they are fine with just fighting some of the EU factions that poke at their borders. If that's their idea of a fun medieval battle/strategy simulation, than so be it. If it wasn't for mercs, crusaders and HRE/fallen kind of sort of keeping these UIF guys busy, what would they do? If the EU was split from NA, would they start fighting each other for territory? Or just keep building up waiting for the Others to show up at their doorstep?
