Geetings fellow conquerors http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif This is my first post in the forum.

I've been playing MTW for the past few months now and I am so addicted to it that I often dream of my huge army stacks conquering every province in the world

Anyway, after a few games of conquering the world I decided to play the GA mode with the Danes. I was pretty much leading the game with about 62 points by 1205 and I conqured all of England and a few Baltic lands as well as Moscovy. As you know the Danes get two extra pips (**) for every one province conquered. Soon I got all the 32 pips (the maximum I think that u can get by gaining extra provinces). The Italians were close behind me with about 57 points. I was pretty sure that by 1225 I would still be leading. But then the wimps Italians managed to beat me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif They had their homelands plus about 5 points by conquering a few german territiories. At 1225 I had 67 points coz I got 5 points from my homelands and the Italians about 73. How come? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif And every time the points were calculated every 25 years or so, the Italians seem to be getting way more points than they deserved.

Why didn't I get the 32 points from my conquests? How are the points calculated exactly?

The calculation of GA points has a known bug that was scheduled to be addressed in the patch. Unfortunately it wasn't completely fixed, but VI Expansion Pack is supposed to finally resolve the issue.

It's true what Godfrey said, but there's also the added possibility that the Italians achieved some extra GA goals such as Noble Mercantilism, for which extra points are awarded. The Danes don't get too many extra GA quests besides the usual conquest. You can check other faction's GA goals by clicking on their respective shield on the GA parchment.

How do you know that precisely how many GA point each faction gets ?

I just see columns that give you a broad idea of the amount of points they have but nothing as precise as 62 or 56 ...

I think you have to install the patch to get the precise numbers, Jxrc.
