An amazing idea for a campaign !!!!!

[Pinky333]

I neeed one. I still play vanilla and i cant think of anything exciting to do, it seems its all the same no matter what faction i play. i always move towards the same cities and everything.

If anyone has a good idea of where to go and how to play a different campaign, you should post. I do see alot of people say that their migrating from turkey to scotland or something.

My last idea of what i wanted to do was get sicisly and try to controll most of the cities that have ports and just control all of the sea trade. Went pretty well had most of the cities with the ports and only very few that didnt have them, mostly just the holy land tho.

So any ideas please??

There is two things that I do sometimes

1- I put myslef an objective of: like once I was trying to get the most faction possible as my vassals.

Result was: I had finish the campaign faster than any other campaign I had played( I'm a slow paced player) I was Hungray and had HRE, Venice, Bysantines, the Turks and Sicily as my vassals and won because the territory of your vassals counts for your objective.

2- I do the Cheat(not really) toggle_fow to see who other factions are doing and when I see that a faction is going to die, I have two choices, give them one of my settlements within my empire to protect them or if I have enough money boost them up and give them military help.

This tactics always gave me very interesting campaigns

Hope that it's waht you wanted to hear

I just play the factions with the historic goals that always seemed to drive the conflicts. I try for more open field battles. It seems a bit of a bore when you win every battle and every battle is a seige. I can also sometimes do sort of a crusade, but not a crusade. As England, I try and support the Poruguese (I know that this comes later) and stuff like that. Build them up until they are bigger and badder than any other power adn then watch out.

Out of my own experience I would say, maybe this is the moment to get out and get some fresh air.

When all else fails, go for mods. There are some mods that do a fantastic job of refreshing the enjoyment of this game.

I give myself objectives, such as creating a "Black Sea Empire" when playing as Byzantines (meaning that I will try to take all territories surrounding the Black Sea), and making up more as I go along.

[Hardrada992]

I was facing the same dilemma (even with SS) so I have done what others have already suggested: setting goals and trying to do more of a rolepaying thing. For example: I am currently playing as Scotland and am about to complete my conquest of France. Once this is done I plan to cement my position there and build up my economy, with the aim of becoming a sort of "global police" force. Rather than just concentrating on getting the required amount of territories I will play as though Scotland is content with ruling the isles and a large portion of Europe, while becoming a global power by influencing distant wars and such. I have already sent a full army by boat to the Kievan Rus to aide in their war against the Cuman Khanate empire. I don't plan on taking any settlements over there I just want to see how many joint battles I can enter because I've never been in one before. I dont mind "losing" in the end so I'm just going to march around making and breaking empires at will. This will also include building lots of merchants and priests to spread my influence, as well as lots of assassins.

I got sick of playing as the western factions, and even middle eastern ones, they all play out similarly.

Russia plays VERY differently, its wide open spaces, tons of cavalry, Boyar Son vs Polish nobles, and it ends up being a fairly fresh experience.

I got to the late period (spamming cossack musketeers!) and the timurids invanded, they had around 6 full banner I countered with the greatest armies I had ever assembled, tons of musketeers\heavy infantry and Dvor cavalry, you know how it goes.

But these banners had like 3 units of elephant artillery each, and more basic elephants!

Easily the most intense battles Ive ever had in a campaign. They cut a hole through my kingdom! And hunting down elephants with Boyars and Dvors is great fun, watching your musketeers get slaughtered by khans guard and heavy lancers.... not so much.

How about this for an extreme idea?

Never grow past the number of settlements you start with. But, keep migrating toward the extreme other end of the map. Before you go to take a settlement, you have to abandon a settlement behind you. You can pause and build up when needed, but never occupy more settlements than you started with.

Try a Mongol-esque type rampage across the map. Spawn an army or two with the best cavalry, maxed up, and see how far you get. You can't remain in a conquered settlement for more than a turn, and you can't retrain.

Ooh I like - plus rep coming your way...

As a migration variant, playing as Egypt, try conquering Britain in the first 50 turns. Then invade Europe from Britain and the middle-east simultaneously. That can be fun.

guys omg,....man last night i was playing as denmark and got my first
45 regions + jerusalem completed ever,...what i did was took over all of western europe drew a border and kept 1 region in russia like boulgar
and the mongols embissary came to me and im counter suggested all my
rich money wich i could replinish in so many turns wich was $2,000,000
and bought verything in the west with mercenaries gaurding every city
then attack their capital but now their all circling antioch with omfg
20 full stacks instead of 8!!!!!wut the hell now!!!!!!!!so then i thought
i could just kill the mongols now and start a across the map campaighn
i thought that was fun till i figured out the 20 stacks!

Great idea, that should be a challenge

[Pinky333]

Check out my signature Pinky, Better to rule in Hell than Serve in Heaven, the AAR is in its early stages so far but the general idea is to get excommunicated, lots of high dread generals and just basically become a bogeyman to frighten children. My warm-up campaigns were very fun, plus you feel EVIL

[wupwup]

i know exactly how you feel . i tried a few islamic factions but the biuldings in the campaign look **** so i gave up. denmark are fun to play as a themed army . my favourite battle every time is assulting dublin with 4 dismounted huscarls. super fun
