13:29 What I remember about the rise of France is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the English War, the Legion was discreetly transferred back to Ireland. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the ship to Ireland, not when Order "Betray the Pawns" came down, and not when we marched into Dublin. Not a word.

How did you get the Pope to excommunicate so much factions ? The Pope usually cut off factions one at a time. And they regain favor fast. Is it due to the mod or are you just constantly bribing him ? Also, I’m terrible at siege. For example, when I fight rebel settlements, I usually starve them until I they sally out so I can fight easily. When I attack the settlements, the casualty is way more than starvation. This get’s to the point where I only autoresolve with AI factions. Can you give me a guide on offensive siege ?
