Im on turn 180 as the spanish.
We have eliminated the
Moors
Portugal
England
Aragon
France
Scotland
Our Empire stretch from the lisbon to paris, from Aberdeen to marakesh and we hold the eternal city Rome. The pope wants it back, tough titties is our diplomatic answer.
Everyone was laughably easy except the scots. Inital invasion gets me Caernarvon, Exeter and Winchester. The scots take Exeter and Winchester back, killing my best general in the process. 10 turns later, 5 sieges of caernarvon, reducing my elite army of feudal swordsmen and pavise crossbowmen to 15% of its original size, the scots finally break. I lost approx 5 full stacks when throwing them in to divert forces from the sieges of caernarvon. 15 turns later after a bloody push nortwards, killing William Wallace we stand at Edinburgh and the final battle. My new super general got 9 stars and all is well.
We get attacked, we choose to fight the odds are only 2:3. Short version: My general is the first casualty from the first fireball fired from the enemy trebuchet!!!!! My reaction? My jaw dropped to the floor. I won though and finished it off with what the old general believed in the most, no mercy for prisoners.
Too bad that they got killed off, Sicily and Genoa aint putting up much off a fight.
The Pope digs me though, got the whole cardinal and when the pope hates me, i just bust a arrow in his ass and appoint a new one. The cardinals must get nervous soon, the papal seat is soon becoming an uriah post
