World Domination ;)
I am playing as Venice right now, I really like them. I blitzkreiged Milan and destroyed them in the first 4 turns. I moved into Zagreb, Rhodes and Durrazzo and I already had a huge empire. Then after I captured Corsica, Sicily attacks me with a huge 500-man invasion of the island. My 120 troops ultimately destroy them and I move into Sicilian controlled Sardinia. The Pope orders me to cease hostilities so I do for a while than continue the attack. Unfortunately, a Sicilian Pope comes to the Papacy and excommunicates me.
Meanwhile my troops in Greece and Crete go to war with the Byantines. After naval invasions, Thessalonica and Corinth are captured.
Then the HRE attacks me for being a 'heretic' and so does Hungary. At a big battle at Zagreb I defeat both of them but I lost almost 1000 troops. Then France attacks Genoa and Spain attacks Florence by sea. I manage to defeat both of them but lose a lot of soldiers. The Moors invade Sardinia after I destroy the Sicilian threat but are horribly destroyed.
My troops have captured Constantinople and I start to move my soldiers in Greece over to Italy because of a second HRE, Papal, French, Spanish, Moorish, Hungarian and now Portuguese invasion. I push all of them back a second time.
Next I go on the offensive, I invade Sicily proper and Naples and capture both, destroying Sicily. My attack on Marseille is repulsed but I capture Budapest. In a final military masterstroke I destroy the Byzantines, which causes England and Russia (their closest allies) to declare war on me. I push into the HRE and destroy a good part of there army but cant capture any cities. I capture the rebel Swiss and attack the French at Dijon and I capture it.
Next the Spanish land again near Genoa but I defeat their navy and ultimately destroy their leader and his fellow 400 soldiers. I get a ceasefire with the Portuguese and the Spanish but I capture Algiers and Casablanca, destroying the Moors (their provinces on the Iberian were captured by Spain and Portugal).
Finally I reach a ceasfire with the French but continue conflict with the HRE. I also send troops and capture Wales and London. After that my troops capture Oslo and move into Danish Sweden, capturing it easily. I then go on to destroy Arhus and Denmark altogether and get ready for an attack on Novgorod.
My gambles were foiled when I was attacked by France again so I got a ceasefire with Russia.
I invaded Marseille and Toulouse and captured them and (with renewed strength and support from Poland) captured the HRE capital. Within another ten turns the HRE fell and France followed suit around 20 turns later. My next target was Rome, I first assasinated the Pope and then easily took Rome. Then I planned the risky invasion of Egypt. I first attacked the Turks and they were destroyed in 10 turns but Egypt put up a fight. I captured Alexandria and Cairo after a few turns and took Jerusalem without a fuss. But the Mongols came with their hordes. I stockpiled all my troops up and attacked them, destroying a good 1500 of them and I lost only 150 troops.
I then attacked Caen and Nottingham, destroying the English. Scotland fell in two turns as well.
After a while, the Egyptians fell. I then attacked the Spanish with the help of Poland and Portugal. Leon, Valenca were my easiest targets and soon the Spanish were destroyed. I then had to betray my friends the Poles, I captured them in only 4 turns and then attacked my other friends the Portuguese, they fell in 6 turns.
The only factions left were me and Russia (and a few staggering Mongol divisions) so I attacked Novgorod in a full naval invasion with 1300 troops and it fell easily. After 8 turns, the Russians fell and every single factions was captured, I stopped my game after a while, because I got bored!
Well, I guess I wrote alot, huh!
I am trying to write a report on all the factions I play as, so I started with Venice, I'll write the report soon!
