Alright, since the AI does lack a bit sometimes certain challenges or guidelines help to make things a bit more fun. Heres some i'm currently using and ideas i've had for others.

Currently:
1:Only Knights may hold titles.
2:Titles cannot be revoked except by death of title holder.
3:Titles MUST be assigned within 10 years of title becoming available.
4:No reloading at all.

-Thats i'm following currently, has changed the gameplay a little and made it more fun in some ways, heres some I haven't tried yet.

Future?:
1:Peasant Militia, armies must consist entirely of peasant levys such as peasants/woodsmen/etc... No professional soldiers at all.
2:Birth of a military genious, take a unit with no command up to the max command level.
3:Keep it in the family, no marriages with outside factions and all Kings married to your own princess.(A bit odd I know, but I wonder what a few generations of inbreeding would do to a royal family, especially considering how messed up they get without it.)
4:Landlubber, no ships allowed at all.
5:Rebelious Tendencys, force yourself to have and recover from rebellions every 2 or 3 reigns.
6:Good catholic, always answer the call to crusades, never attack catholic neighbors, and put relegion as the target for development in any given province.
7:One trick wonder, armies must consist entirely of the same troop type.
8:Crusader/Jihader, convert all of the map to Islam or Cahtolicism.
9:Paranoid King, allow no ruler more then 10 years in office before removing the title through whatever means necessary.
10:Utopia, only tax level allowed is very low.

Thats all I can think of right now, some might be fun while others are just their for kicks. Anyway tell me what you think and post any of your own you have. The only Knights holding titles idea I got from another thread, along with the no reloads(though that one is probably standard for many).

Some pretty good ideas there Chaos. I'm gonna have to try some of them. Wow, no ships, hmmm......... And I like the only Knights may hold titles and birth of a millitary genious. Mix the game up a bit. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

for my economie I try to use these rules.

1. keep taxes on normal
2. the max you can spend on upkeep is the half of your total income.

these rules are also perfect if your economie is based on trade. if your trade network colapses you still have a buffer to absorpe the loss of income as you can crank taxes up.

other rules I use

1. never attack a faction of the same religion, or somethimes dont attack at al
2. always listen to the pope
3. dont position your army at the map edge
4. dont reload after a bad move
5. dont kill/conquer the pope
6. don't wipe the french out within 10 turns http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Sometimes I make exeptions in this rules if I'm in deep sh*t.
