[maxstill]

well i've seen BC,played it and now i got bored of it(again),i've finished campaigns with:kwarezm,ere,turks,ayubid,jerusalem,solanki rajputs,ghorids,georgia,armenia,mongols,oman and the gaznavids
so i opened the thread to see your new ideas regarding BC campaign
so let's see some ideas:hmmm:

[Kara Kolyo]

cumans, makuria, seljucs.... just try the rest of them.

[maxstill]

yes im curently playing makuria,and its so easy,the ayubids are fighting with koj,so with atention distracted its easy to take ayubid settlements

there is mini-mod that makes mongols playble

With auto_win attacker/defender, yes AI is weak.
With add_money also is weak.

I dont know why, but everytime i play, regardless if expanding/citybuilding I allways get in trouble as AI declares war vs me with 3 full stacks and 6 scroll diplomats bribing every army i got.

I can keep up when attack from one side, but not from Makuria in south, Koj in middle and Abbassids from north with Omans trying their luck in Mecca.
Or being betrayed by ERE, Georgia and Armenia, also seeing Abbassids moving their army enar MY Edessa.
Being attacked by Seljuks and Ghaznis, when i get mongols in about 10 turns isnt the most pleasant time.

But as long as I am the one declaring wars, game is very easy. Aside from stacks spawning when besieged AI cannot defend.

What difficulty settings do you play at? Esp with KoJ.

I have a great idea for you. Try playing using the Generals Camera only, and only play with it scrolled down all the way to your general charachter. Never pause and give orders, just play through.

I'm playing EB like this, and it is a totally different game - much more of an historical simulation, because, as the general, you can't micromanage. You have to put groups of your men under computer control at various times, becasue you aren't close enough to order them about.

It makes the set up of the battle much more importent, reserves critical. You can no longer win every battle with 1/4 of the enemy casualties. It is a little frustrating at first, but worth it if you're finding things too easy.

Tell you what you want to do.

Have a kid and a job, and then see how many campaigns you can finish.

I had to give up on my IFB campaign half way through because I wanted to play BC, and I thought playing that for six months on-and-off would be enough.

Wait of BC 2, at least that's what i'm doing.
Currently playing as England in SS 6.1

Well try play if not allready with only balanced armies and not stacks of HA and archers. Also only use few of the best units since in real life the factions did not have endless of for example templars knights, mamluks and so on perhaps one or two in every stacks at highest. Also let factions build up their armies before you attack them.

[demostene]

Simply, I suggest you hotseat: playing against HI (Human Intelligence) is what you need.
