Well i can give you some tips how to generate economy, if you wish.

It is rather simple, when you start campining, you put economy as number one and your army as number 2. So that means you build - farms, roads, markets first ( ports, mines, merchants later ), and army last.

So that means lets say i have 4 regions. I will split them in 2 group ( 2x2 ). In one turn i will develope 2 regions, in next turn i put money in other regions. The more regions i have, the more i chop them up. If i have 14 regions, i split them in a group of 4. 4 regions = 1 group. So i have 3 groups of 4 regions and 1 group of 2 regions. You follow? I keep putting money into trade, taxes etc.

So every turn i build something that will later give me more money, and if i have some money left i use it for army, diplomats, etc. So economy 1, army 2. After i get more money, like 10 000 every turn i change a little bit, create army and make upgrades after that.

Extra is, when enemy wants ceasefire i give it to them only under one of the 2 conditions ( either one of their regions or alot of cash ). If they dont accept, it dosent matter since i will take a settlement later on.

Keep castles, citys low whit army so you dont pay keep up alot. Sometime you struggle whit economy, like russia, but its not that bad if you micro manage everything and keep track where you build what.

[rambe14758]

so economy is number one, russia? that is sleeping giant. sleep for a long time, then with your dismounted boyar sons you will conquer the world. i will play as russian on kingdom

For me economy is always the most important in any game of medieval 2. I have not come to kingdoms yet, since i have been playing on and off. But in every single campaining i have made over 100 000 gold or 200k gold. I usualy finish with a big bank account. But i think the economy in kingdoms is the same.

And i never used any cheats nor exploits to get to those amounts, it was all trough smart building/army upkeep and fighting the battles when needed and under my terms ( most of the time ).

I attached a picture of my last campaning with Byzantinum. After i achieved victory conditions i stopped playing, had 74 more turn, but i had about 6 or 8 factions in war with me, so i just wraped it up.

185k and still had 74 turns to go...

[rambe14758]

wow thats great . but, how hungary can took HRE place. are their transylvanian peasants chop their imperial knights like a butter

[d0gz1lla]

Haha, i think hungary has better economy then HRE in the long turn..And their armys has dismounted knights alot, so its not just peasants Dont forget croat axeman who are great at chopping down heavy infrantry. It all depends who is in war with who.

[rambe14758]

their hungarian noble is very good for make every m2tw player angry (and i love infantry, so it makes me so sad ) are you have sugestion for me? my britania campaign will end so soon. my three stack scotts army on england land. What do you think faction which has a strong infantry?. beside england

[rambe14758]

i wanna play as muslim, but their prefer to light cavalry and light infantry , i know is historical but i love heavy infantry. but i have a plan to play as the turk ( i love their janissary heavy infantry, janissary archer and musketeers. and dont forget about MONSTER BOMBARD)

[d0gz1lla]

Sicily and other italians really have superb infantry... While the italians do not have very high damage units, they have high defense units at the disposal. So italian factions always is a good choice in terms of INF. Just the italian milita is one of the strongest town units around...I mean it all comes down to personal preference anyway. Just go whit the turks and have fun with it

[rambe14758]

all right, but after you said "sicily" i wanna play as them, gonna conquer the world with dismounted norman knight . and im just finished my scottland campaign on kingdom expansion. thanks for your help

[rambe14758]

i have maybe 70.000-80.000 money (not too many but im never going debt) and four stack army try to conquer and conquer

[d0gz1lla]

Hehehe, crazy guy.

Ok, well that is good, you should never go into debt basicly. Thats pretty much what you should do. Use one stack to keep pushing forward when you conquer regions. Once the army is either 3/4 destroyed or weak alot, replace it whit a new army...Mutiple fronts means, more stacks each of them pushing its own way...

No problem, m8.

[rambe14758]

i used three stacks for attack england, and 1 for defending if tiny englan army try to conquer my region. but i get a lot money is at my campaign almost end. first, im managed my economy. second, build a large army. finally, blitzkrieg. britania campaign is so tiny

[d0gz1lla]

Good man, you learned something about economy So good luck whit the rest of the campainings

[rambe14758]

thanks
