    I'm relatively new to the game also so i may be doing this all wrong
    Nah it looks like a solid start, you have protected your back by taking out Norway and created two buffers with Riga and Hamburg. with serves well to protect Scandinavia and thereby reducing the need to keeping garrisons there.
    Besides your solid plan the thing to consider is probably how to deal with Novogrod. If allowed to grow strong they will certainly go for Riga and that will distract you from the Brittish isle. It would be really useful for you if you could prevent that by getting their neighbors to take them out. Especially if you can snatch Novogrod itself in the process.

    The Scandinavian cities need to be developed a bit before the generate allot of money. Or perhaps your keeping a heavy garison. The AI is pretty single minded so you usually only need troops at the first city they will attack.

    At the top of the window where the settlement name is, highlight it and then type in anything you want. It will change on the campaign map as well.
    thank you!

    I can never get those dmn germans to give me a ceasefire after i take Bologna.
    Well, I also took Innsbruck were I killed another German general, next to the faction heir at Bologna. A princes of the Reich approached me for a ceasefire, I asked 5000 florins, they accepted . I´m pretty happy about it at the moment because I really can´t take a war with the HRE next to my current wars with the Byzantin Empire and Genua. This is how my empire looks now:



    Took Constantinopel, thus driving the Byzantines out of Greece, and Genua and Milan, driving the Genuese out of Italy.

    "we're way way pre-alpha and what that means is there is loads of features not just in terms of the graphics but also in terms of the combat and animations that actually aren't in the game yet.So the final game is actually gonna look way way better than this!” - James Russell, CA
    Just like the elephant animation, this Carthage scenario is actually in the game, it just has a small percantage factor for showing up, that's all...

    Beware of scoundrels

    I saw you played more than 10+ campaigns since the hour of release. This means you must have played 24 hours a day!
    Wow... btw +rep.

    took all my men, hired a boat and drove all the way to dublin (15 turns). Went to war with Ireland, took Dublin and Kork. Then went bankrupt, had to survive attacks by Ireland, England and Scotland without being able to restock or even retrain.
    Fortunately England got excomm'ed, and Spain decided to invade Ireland, drawing some attention away from me. I went from "at war" -> "ceasefire" -> "alliance" with scotland.
    With their help I destroyed Ireland an here I am:

    For Knights Templar, that's not a bad idea. I had tons of fun doing that with the Fatimids to Rome. Will definitely have to do it again, the whole idea of relocating a faction is hilarious and awesome at the same time.

    Just buy it off them it may set you back a little but it's no real big problem unless you blitz.

    Buying settlements from the AI is kind of cheating because the AI cant evaluate the offers properly
