It is 1260. I started in early on normal difficulty and I am 1 point ahead of the Italions and French (both are tied at 93).
What I've learned--
If Bohemia revolts (with your help http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif ) grab it, 'cause it counts as a home land later.
In Poland dont build weapon upgrades. Go straight for a citadel/fortress so you can build a university-- a key point earner for you.
As Poland you get multiple points for conquering one province. Pick your targets carefully and don't piss people off. For example, if you go into Sweden, Denmark will eventually go to war with you 'cause they need Sweden. You don't need many provinces to max out your conquest points.
There is some luck invovled in marrying off your daughters. The Russians, Hungarains, and Germans could back-stab me at any minute. I marry their women and offer them mine as often as I can.
