How long can the Campaign go?

Ive managed to get to 1500 before getting bored and starting a new game.

What is the latest you have managed to play?

Dude, I cannot even begin to comprehend how boring that game must have gotten. Once I have fought off the Mongols I get bored, no point in waiting around for the Timurids as they use ages to enter the fray.

it got boring to the point that I made about 800 cannon elephants using "rogan" and layed waste to all the known world

i got to turn 214 or so with france once. Then i got bored as the only positive thing about the americas is that emporer montezuma has 1337 soldiers.

*miccofl calls upon the Pied Piper of Hamlin to unleash a horde of mice upon gpowsang...

Seriously, try the game without cheats; it's a lot less boring and far more challenging.

i did the campaign until i got around 250 turns (around the year 1500ish)

trust me after playing for that long it gets boring

By 250 turns you should have been able to conquer the known world. Don't wait for the AI to come to you, it won't as it is a chicken****

Get out there and kick its butt.

I did conquer [retty much the whole map (except like a few Egyptian settlements)

but then I was to retarted to realize the year

once i saw it was passed 1500 i was thinking Y the hell hasnt old columbus discovered america yet,

I then realized i skipped over that event scroll so i completely forgot about it

once i got to America i saw those fully loaded armies and said "hell with this"

And you want to take me on

Go get 'em tiger

You might want to search for threads that deal with turtling (slowing things down) but gunpowder in the game isn't what it could be so it is perhaps a waste of time. Almost all of my campaigns have ended before turn 200, some because the line I wanted to role-play died off, some because I am a warmongering [expletive]. If you find things too easy, you may want to try out some of the really fantastic mods we have here, you can find them in this forum http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=211 Stainless Steel and Deus Lo Vult I can recommend from personal experience but many of the others are fine mods and have extensive followings as well.

Sounds like you have heard this before but don't knock it till you've tried it. I think I would gouge my eyes out or find another game before I would play another vanilla campaign. As for 2 vs: 2 I'm not sure it is possible but since I am still having fun smashing my generals into 5 stacks I have little incentive to try. I'm sure someone else here would be up to the challenge though, perhaps you should try the MP forum http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=267
