Initially I cheered at this news as the Holy Roman Empire was a victory objective for me to defeat but then I quickly realized that the powers that dismantled it were in the process of taking my Polish empire down too.

Scenes like this were getting increasingly more common as Russian, Hungarian and Venetian troops repeatedly laid siege and stormed key cities of mine.

The campaign AI in Stainless Steel is also more competent at ambushing vulnerable forces of mine. This is also growing more common in my campaign.

City sieges are also growing more common, with 2, 3, or 4 to fight through in some turns.

Things appear to be getting worse all over Europe. The 14th century was not a cheery one.

Sure, why not?

The troop variety in Pike & Shot Campaigns continues to impress. Here I have arquebusiers, landsknechts, and tercio-type units to hold the Turks back.

However, there are MANY Turkish cavalry units at Mohacs, and I have a limited number of armored tercios and the like to face them. This is my first battle after trying out and winning all the tutorials and getting my confidence up, but it may be a rough road to winning. Mohacs may have been too advanced at this early point.

Ugh…make that VERY MANY Turkish cavalry units. They’re fragile, but fast and wily. If my heavily armored infantry can catch them, then I can win this. The Turkish infantry is of much lower quality. But it will take a lot of maneuvering in to position to that. Wish me luck!
