Steven PalmerDIRTIEST TRICK OF THE MONTH
This month��s Dirty Trick is for Medieval: Total War.
Here��s a way you can steal provinces from your allies! First, find a territory you want and make sure there are a lot of Catholics in it. If not, send over a bishop to convert the populace. When there are enough converts, send in an inquisitor. Soon an inquisition will run rampant through the territory and the peasants will be very unhappy. Hopefully, a rebellion will be sparked. When the rebels conquer said territory, bribe them with an emissary to fight for you. You have just successfully stolen both a territory and an army from your allies!
