what is the least amount of settlements you`vw been able to "control" the top 5 in~

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

& also what faction/mod would be helpful!

option 1
5-7 I am a darn! good playa!

option 2
7-10 I am among the MTW2 Elite!

option 3
10-15 Above the Norm`

option 4
15-20 it was a long hard struggle but I got there!

option 5
20-25 I use cro magnum mentality if you keep bashing someone over the head (the ai) they get the point!

Also side note how many of these settlements were in the "green" (100 or more happiness) if you include settlements in your calculations which were not that kinda makes them not applicable!

Is this about having the smallest kingdom until the turn limit is reached?

[Leaf-Fan-Forever]

I don't understand

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

it is simple every turn you are told who are the top five factions in the categories military, money, production, population & overall. my question is: of you other players what is the least amount of Settlements you had but still dominated ( Held all five of the top) all five positions, not to brag but I have done it with only five regions

[Tears of Destiny]

7-10 for me!

If I were to cause all of my lands but five regions to rebel and still keep the top five slots for a turn, would I qualify? The poll is rather open ended on issues like that.

I can't imagine successfully dominating those five criteria with only seven settlements at this time. Would you be willing to divulge some tips?

the game is ToTal War! but it is really about population management!
everything! Units, buildings all hinge on the Public (democracy via video game)
tips to my personal style! simple
set all taxes to low (barring castles of course) Put all your money into building Taverns, town halls all that atuff which effects happiness & order! do not forget to majority of your income comes from taxes! ( You won`t see immediate results but when you get "deep" in the game You will have healthy, Wealthy Cities!) I hope everyone knows every time you build a "Farm" or "market" it has a slight negative impact on your pop. growth & happiness~ whatever the gains from building these, they do not match up with the tax revenue from happy citizens! (go ahead & build smiths & other military infrastructure they are neutral in effect)
Convert all wooden castles to small towns, then convert back when it is a large town (towns upgrade a whole lot quicker!) & important to be honest I did that only in one game usually I am like Tearsofdestiny in the 7-10
good luck!

Im in the top 5 with everything on my current Russian campaign, I own Ajaccio, Cagliari, Palma and Rhodes. So option 1 for me.

[Il Medico]

My smallest empire was turtle map with Milan. Took Italy, its islands and Crete and turtled (in villina). I was #1 or two for pretty much everything after I conquered Italy.

sorry

good Job! (in my mod) I usually play as Genova (Milan) or Florence & do the same but in my mod there are % factions in Italy "Genova, Venetia, Florentia, The Vatican Offices & Napoli & of course Sicilia & Italy has at least thirty regions, the PoPe (Vatican Offices) can be destroyed! &Rome has been Broken into two settlements one a large town "Roma" & two "Vatican City" a Large Castle you know how it sucked in Vanilla there was only one settlement south of Rome on the ChC map South of Rome there is
Vatican City, Naples, Monti, Brindisi, Bari & Reggio also The Eastern coast of Italy was barren on the Vanilla map I have added Ravenna, Ferrara, Capitinata & Apuli

First option, though I've done it with less.

1st option in my current campagin as france i held a record for 6 turns until the timurds came
as france i held-paris,rheims,bordeux,toulhouse reenes and maresile

and as the papal states i was nubmer in everything except military -though i think the swiss guard should get bonus points!
as papal's-roma,genova,venezia,firenze and milano and bologna

In my Venice Faction in M2TW vanilla

i was 1 in military in the 10 turn because By turn 10 i wiped out milan and conquered rome
By turn 50 i conquered almost all of byzantine my faction was overall number one number one in military in Production and Financial but 3 to the biggest domain

My secret is that I when i play my Venice Faction i Use the Machiavellian Tactics
and Make sure to Exterminate the populace or burn everything to the ground if you know that your settlement is going to be taken
and
Put random scouting troops at the country side because you will never know (one time i saw the byzantine emperor was travelling by himself at the country side for some reason it was travelling by his own then i attacked him with a stack of 1 sgt spearman militia 1 p.Crossbowmen and frankish knights i fought him but i loss but my troops retreated back to the ship so i can send them again the on my next try i killed the king i also did this thing to the pope when i saw him lollygaging by himself along the country side)

all of my settlements have green heads cuz i exterminate the old settlers
