So how do you win?

[9mak9]

The topic really explains it all

I know the short/long game are to conquer and destroy a few places. After I did that I decided to keep playing. I got to turn 189 and I have covered the entire map with Scottish blue. Timiurds and Mongols are gone and I just took the last 3 settlements of the Papel States, and they weren't happy. Technically the PS cannot die so, is there any end result to my game now?

Do I just run the remaining turns out? Anything else to do?

I plan on just starting a new game, probably a modded one now and enjoying another faction

you basically kepp playing until...forever!
theres nothing to do after you win besides conquering the known world

[9mak9]

ah I figured that was the answer, kinda hoped otherwise though. What happens at the end of all the turns?

[silvercolum]

theres no end of turns.just seems ugly to play medieval warfare when the game says ''summer 1990''

My friend once played his campaign till 2008 . He was playing as England and keeping all faction ALIVE just for fun. I never understand why he did that for :hmmm:

I play until I'm tired of my campaign, I never look at my objectives, and I nerver conquer the whole world either. I play until I'm satisfied of my empire

[9mak9]

Well this was the first game I played, and its vanilla campaign. I think when the timurds invaded and right after the plague is when I started losing interest in the campaign. Plus I was Scotland which isn't the best campaign to use (damn pikeman cannot run!). So I just decided to literally annihilated every other faction. I think I captured 40 regions in the last 40 turns to finish off the conquest. Now I will probably start SS and maybe a Kingdoms campaign.

What do you like to have in your campaign? I could maybe help you decide on a better faction to play.

Lety me know if you need any help and maybe you could click on my Signature (The Great Informative Thread) there is alot of information there to help you out.

If you capture all regions (including America) you will get a victory video and the game will give you the only choice to go back to the starting menu.

[9mak9]

ok I remember seeing something about America, but I have no idea how to get there

this spoiler tells about america! Open at your own risk!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

somewhere after alot of turns u will get the message that the world is round! after that u can build special docks who can produce ocean-faring ships (carracks) in wich u can go to the Americas
just don't expect much. 6 provinces and 3 stacks of native aztecs

[Ascarona]

You need to wait for the technology to become available to build Carracks, and then take a Carrack ONLY fleet and just keep sailing west, with an army and agents (preferbly merchants as theres much money to be found there) onboard. You will soon find the America's and be able to colonize them as well.

But as Pinky beardy said don't expect so much about them, there are alot of trade items located there that offer about the same as the gold mines in Timbuktu. And as for the army's well, you have the Aztec's over there, and... rebels. But they won't be much of a problem, a good army of muskets and heavy armor will be able to defeat them. Good luck taking the America's, I doubt you will need it.

[9mak9]

sweet, I was thinking about it but I didn't know it had to be the carracks to go.

Since I basically conquered the entire "world" and I have over 120k a turn for military upkeep, over 1mil in money and over about 70 generals, I think I can spare a few soliders instead of having them roam the land

Just something different I suppose, I commend his resolve however, playing until 2008.. How many turns per year was he playing, 4tpy would impress me!

[Pink Beard]

w0w! even with 1 turn per year i'm impressed! That's over 800 turns you know! That's the spirit! I usually don't pass 100-200

Your Lazy

[Conquistatore]

It's not laziness, it's boredom. Campaigns running for a long time tend to get repetitive and boring, and as such end prematurely. Totally understand where you are coming from Pink Beard.

I was just teasing him like we always do to each other. But on topic yes I had campaigns like that boring and they were tuff to even finish..

But I will also add that some of them were very good and never even once got bored. What I like about this game is that it's often different between ech campaign played even if you played with the same faction.

[Sumonious]

He play 2ypt. Btw I believe 2tpy is the minimum, isn't it ? I'm not sure he auto resolve or not. But he does make a lot of faction become his buffer. Actually I have never checked out his save anyway. I was just told so
