    Default Ever conquered the entire map?

    Hi i was just wondering did anyone ever took the time to conquer the entire map of the game. I personally did it about a year ago with the byzantine empire. sadly, i had to reinstall the game a lot coz of mods and crashes so i dont have the savegame anymore. But it sure was cool, because your treasury will be sick, you can recruit lots, i bought all mercenaries at all times when i was coming close to completing it.

    Had about 15 full stacks of elite troops to fight at the most important front.

    oh btw i dont now if its allowed because this is the med2 forum, but would you guys care to notice if u ever got that far with RTW? the furthest i ever came with EB was with the Carthaginians, having 120 settlements and a army upkeek of 200,000.

    reply!

    Yeah, I've done it twice (almost 3, but the 3rd gave me the unspecific error message every time I tried to load it) with France. I've also done it with the Byzantines in the Kingdoms Holy Land Campaign.

    Ah...Yes....Here it is:

    Wow...

    The closest I have ever done to that, was in vanilla Rome: Total War, I was the Roman Julii family. I conquered nearly the whole world, nearly...but in Medieval II, it's a lot harder to do just that! I'm impressed.

    In RTW I did it a number of times. In the Vanilla version and in the mods. Especially in the mod Roma Surrectum. Of course I do it all with the Romans. Its a great feeling to do that.

    I never been so dedicated to one campaign, but i did conquer everything from spain to germany to sweden, and everything that is on the northwestern side of it (france, british isles..) with France. Then patched to 1.2 and my savegame blew up :p

    I have about 10 more cities to take and then I will have the entire map under English command. I like to rule the ENTIRE world before moving to a new campaign

    I always get bored when my empire grows too big... Although my Byzantine Empire is the biggest empire I have ever built... I dont have any better screenshots from it than this...

    Usually I'm pretty happy once I achieve the Grand (or Short) campaign goals. Haven't made a concerted effort to take over the whole map. With the grand campaign, I've come pretty close (sometimes I'll keep on playing, just for the sake of wiping out that one faction I'm at war with, and get 50 or so territories).

    I did, with the Turks

    Never. I don't think I even ever won an actual campaign in either RTW or MTWII. I keep starting new campaigns and thinking, "Oh, I'll just come back to that save later." I never do.

    Same here. I'll usually play to about 30 provinces on an MTWII Grand Campaign and feel like playing a new campaign. At that point there's not much to do except wait for the hordes, and for me it's always more fun just to start fresh with a new faction.

    I have never actually succeded! I always have cash problems and rebels all around the world when I expand to much(I always play with the Byzantines in MEDIEVAL 2). Any suggestions??

    Almost, with the Brutii in Rome TW. I had conquered everything from Spain to Greece to nowaday Russia, all that really remained was the Egyptian empire who I could crush if I truly tried but I got bored.

    I've never tried to be honest. I never thought it was possible when I played my campaigns...

    In Medieval I i conquered the entire map as the turks, but i have never came around to doing it in Medieval II, but maybe i will do it in my current French campaign, since im playing SS 5.1 i need 70 settlements to achieve victory conditions
