I am sorry but I just can't take the stupidity of this game any more.
I am a Vassal of Vlandia and we started off at war with Battania and were making good progress. Suddenly my Empire decides, "Hey its not exciting if we have only one war going, let's declare another!" and off we go to war with the Western Empire.
Well suddenly my City being closest to the Western Empire just gets inundated with enemy lords like scrambling cockroaches. For the first few hours I manage to smash 7 Lords and capture them to try to stem the tide but they just keep coming and coming. Now I literally have 19 individual enemy lord armies on my screen at one time AFTER I have imprisoned 7 of them, groups of them just sitting around each of my villages raiding them as if they were just sitting by a campfire. The Western Empire has no big armies, they aren't trying to take any territory, nor are the attacking anywhere else in my factions lands, all of them are focused on my three little villages and oh yeah for some reason a few Battanian lords have decided it wants to raid my lands too even though they have to cross through my entire factions territory literally bypassing a dozen other villages just to jump in on the fun and raid mine.
Meanwhile my entire faction is wrapped up into three big armies sieging Battanian castles on the other side of the map. Not one single lord not in an Army and no allies to assist. I mean sure it makes perfect sense to declare war on another faction when your already at war and fully engaged with another faction, yeah that makes sense.
Oh and I can't even force a peace using my max influence because my faction has zero support for peace with either faction.
I guess the enemies tactics are working because I can't do a damn thing to stop them but I have been running around playing wack-a-mole for 3 hours straight and can say THIS IS NOT FUN!!!! There is nothing fun about this especially since my Faction had ZERO reason to start another war.
I am sorry but a faction SHOULD take into account it's ability to wage a war before declaring war. Also if it is going to declare war, the AI should have some sort of logic to mass troops at the border BEFORE declaring war not declare war while all its troops are engaged warring with another faction. Also they should never be at war with two factions at once EVER unless the other faction declares war on them and if they are in a war when that happens, they should immediately seek peace with one of the two factions so that they are NEVER at war with two factions at once if they can help it. This what is going on here is just Stupid and not fun, Stupid and Unfun enough that I am on the verge of quiting my playthrough because three hours of constant battle without stop and nothing you can do to stop it is a frustrating experience.
