This thread is for all, who wanna tell us about their current situation in Medieval or Shogun-Campaigns. As many (myself included) don´t want to start an whole AAR you can put your current status, important actions, highlights, summaries, single screenshots or anything about your campaigns and battles here.
It can be some short lines or longer posts like the following:
=====================================================
I´ll start with my MTW-campaign (with MTW XL3.0-mod).
Faction: Lithuania (Pagan religion) - starts with only one province (Lithuania obviously)
Have started an early campaign (1080 AD) and the current year is 1216
Here´s a pic of my "empire":
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
As you can see (due to owning only 5 provinces after 135 turns!), I´ve faced some problems and made bad decisions.
In the first twenty years I conquered Prussia and Smolensk. But some years later (after an failed attemp to invade Poland) during the same turn the Danes invaded Prussia and a civil war started (a Prince in Smolensk revolted). In Prussia I had no chance against the numerous Danes, so I retreated to my homeland Lithuania, Smolensk was also lost and some rebells showed up even in Lithuania.
As any bad politican I didn´t know what to do next - and decided to do nothing by turtling in my only province Lithuania.
Against the Danes there was no chance for a fight, Poland and the Kievan Rus seemed too strong and Norway (they sided with the Danes and declared war on me) had a strong garrison on my northern border in Livonia.
My ships had mixed results in the next 20 years against the Danish and Norwegian navies. But finally they destroyed my last ship and due to the trade loss - I ran into debts.
An attack into the rich (norwegian) province Livonia wasn´t succesful.
Therefore I waited until the Danes start an attack on Lithuania - but nothing happened.
After nearly 50 years, since they conquered Prussia, the Danes finally decided to give me the deathblow. But I managed to kill the Danish king and his only faction heir in this battle - The Danes were no more and split up into rebells. I was saved
From now on I expanded slow but steady. The Danes have reappeared meanwhile - but after two failed attemps of them to conquer Novgorod they have too few soldiers to be an real enemy.
On the campaign-map pic you may have noticed my next move - an attack on Danish Estonia with a superior army. The next target will be Finland (also Danish) to secure my northern border.
