Post screenshots of your empire in this thread.
Many of the AAR writers started by just posting random screenshots from the campaign, and commenting on it.
Here's the stage for this.

So what, your playing England, it don't get any easier.
Try a challenging faction like Milan, Venice , France and then tell us how many butts your kickin.

France was really not hard in my campaign. I sadly saved over it.

It was a real change because while in my turkish campaign I did have to cheat to get 5000 florin when I went into debt once, as the French I never cheated. But all I had to do was get in the good graces with the HRE (It was possible before the AI mods, but it also relied on luck and the fact that they got bushwacked by the Venetians, Poles, and danes). After that, I was able to do everything I wanted. The only faction that actually gave me trouble were the Danes, who constantly besieged my northernmost province of Antwerp. The Spanish got tied up with the Moors, the Milanese with the Venetians. French cavalry were also amazing, and even with the cavalry bugs of the past, I managed to do great with them with an old RTW-system of infantry holding an enemy and the cavalry setting up behind. With the new cavalry fixes, they'll be so much easier.

Venice, well, whenever the AI plays them they are supreme. Though I did shockingly see them get wiped out with the latest of Lusted's Campaign Mods, this being after they took over Hungary too!

France wasn't really that challenging at all IMO. Their units are fantastic.

HRE on the other hand is a real challenge, For the first like 50 turns the best infantry unit you can build is an armored spearman, and you can potentially be attacked by 6 enemies at once. In my current campaign as HRE I'm #1 in every category, but still struggling against Poland, France, and Venice all attacking at the same time. Luckily I took out Denmark very early, and I took out Milan after a 40 year war.

The Andalusian Empire


My Sultan is engaged in the conquest of Italia. He has already taken Roma and renamed it to more arabic sounding name. The Papal State and Sicily are allied and, as you can see, Sicily has launched a counter-offensive.
And also, notice that I've taken England. Actually it was Scotland, they had thrown (rightfuly) those Anglos strait back accross the channel. I'm actually allied with England who I sponsored (3000florins tribute) to attack the Danes and take a city from them. England is my buffer state in Europe.


Great fun!

Come on guys! Lets turn this thread into the ol "Post your Empire" type deal with had with RTR or TE.

You can rename cities?

[Giantsfan24]

Hey, if he's playing england without Lusted's 2H mod and Longbow mod(really just increasing range and damage a bit), then it is a challenge.

For me, England is a little too vanilla. Not meaning they are boring but that alot of people play them.

When I get done with France, I think I will try a more eastern type faction such as Hungary or the Turks(will move west to avoid instand death by the mongols in that one).

[terpol]

milan is one of the easiest campaigns i've played, on m/vh after 100 or so turns i had over a million (!!!) florins and 20 or so provinces with maxed buildings, was playing slowly but with their militias and position you can easily become very rich. could just buy lands instead of conquering

[IZ-Master]

do u have that money with cheat...? and man u rly have some diplomatic expenditure?

[terpol]

no cheats, fighting with only militias for most of the time and having only cities means i usually had very little army upkeep and building up trade around italy got me often 60k profit per turn. the diplomatic expenditure is from giving factions lots of florins and also buying provinces.

my god, I didn't know the map was that aweful ...

[ColbytheConqueror]

that isnt the standard map, its a modded one that is really big.

[Mad_Cat]

that isnt the standard map, its a modded one that is really big.

It looks the same to me, I think there is a cheat to remove all of the fog.

[Vor]

There is. But no one is talking about that. They are talking about the horrible looking coastline and mountins, which is due to the extra large map mod.

[ImpaleЯ]

The western factions are easy, though, i have yet to play Venice once the patch arrived.

@terpol: what did you do to get that map a new look?

[DreadedCharger]

Kicking butt as England is when you got all of Britain, all of Iberia, all of France and are fighting the Milanese, the Danes and the Venetians at the same time.
As France...its just too easy(a bit like England)...storm Milan, Caen, HRE and take northern italy, while Iberia is too much in conflict to act against you.
Easy win.
