"Who am I?" M2TW version (closed)

[Alan Blake]

Very nice! Were there really no other excommunicated factions to crusade against? The Levant is a death trap usually in my campaigns, which is why I always take Jerusalem at the very end to meet the victory conditions as a Catholic faction...

France is by far the easiest faction in my opinion. Once you control that much territory you can monopolise the College of Cardinals, and basically attack whomever you choose without repercussion. By turn 70 in my old French Campaign I held Spain (and swarming into North Africa across the Gibraltar Straits), France, the British Isles, Western Italy (naval invasion), and could effectively take any settlement bordering the Western Mediterranean. The only problem is the Holy Roman Empire, but there's no real incentive to take Central Europe when you can simply defend the Rhine with a couple of well positioned forts.

I have a SS map almost ready, I'm not even sure if I should post it though as it's rather too obvious! It will be ready on Friday (some little exams this week) if anyone wants free rep.

I never exploit the crusade against excommunicated factions, I barely even go on crusade but since I had the money and the Crusader States needed help I did it anyway. I never dominate the college of cardinals, I don't even have a priest at the moment. I could have expanded a lot more but since I made the map for this game I didn't. A naval invasion of England is a dead giveaway and any more expansion would have made it pretty obvious too. I'm allied with most countries around me anyway and I had no intention of breaking that.

Anybody got a new map? I got a ss one which is way too obvious, and currently creating a new ss (stainless steel, not some nazi ) one which might be good but only on turn 20

I forgot to say that there was a crusade on Jerusalem, successfully captured by Poland, and no Jihads have been called yet.

[Earl Dibbles Jr]

Poland

[Alan Blake]

Poland. I like your avatar, looks like the Matrix Reloaded.

[Cyprian2]

I'm going to say Poland as well. Other factions have expanded minimally or else lost ground.
