Playing as a sworn vassal in the ERE, won several other castles in the Latin Empire and their final stronghold is the Constantinople. Their garrison is 900 so it deters the AI from attacking. At the same time the emperor doesnt peace out despite peacing out other nations (Ilkhans and Sicily)... Is this perma war a feature or what? The Latins' constant harassment on my border village is killing my lances and taxes.
Also is there any way to encourage the emperor to declare war on weaker nations? ERE is now currently at war with Latin Empire only but they cant siege Constantinople so I figured why not attack other nations as well...
To take Constantinople you can try to become marshal of your nation and siege it yourself. It is very often the best way to do things and I get frustrated a lot of times because of that. The marshal has the bad habit of resting after taking an easy castle even if the army still has 95% of the soldiers alive, letting the enemy recover their numbers before attacking another castle or, in your case, not attacking the enemy town at all...
If you can take the city in one siege great! No more worries. If not, just keep rebuilding your army as fast as posssible and sieging it again and again for as many sieges as you need to, eventually it will fall
The key step is to become marshal yourself though.
