Most I had was 5 battles, and I couldn't save.

1st battle was to storm and eliminate the Danes. He has about 20 men, I lost 50.

2nd was invading the Turkish sultan province Armenia. I killed the sultan and won, not a great victory as I lost slightly more men.

3rd was the other Turk province Rum, terrible casualties on my side. Units were eliminated or reduced to next to nothing. I lost more than 1.5 times his men but managed to off the general.

4th was defending the Brys in Lesser Armenia, 2000+ against my 1000+, I won with minimal losses and captured 1074 prisoners(wow)

5th was a Jihad which attacked from the province I was invading in my 3rd battle at my province I launched my soldiers. The Jihad was depleted and had only 44 men. I have 200 peasants. I lost the province.

After this, both the Danes and Turks are elminated and I'm beseiged by rebels... hmm

Well that took awhile, I switch off the time limit...

I guess auto resolve is in order, was it rebels? How many fronts was that?

Most battles in one turn? Two, maybe three?

I try to fight only one war at a time. I hate getting clogged up in multiple battles.

That was me breaking my armies into tiny forces and simultaenously attacking 25 provinces. Most armies had like one spearmen each.

Wow Urban Legend, sounds like you were pretty busy for a while. Do you happen to remember how long it took you to fight those five battles?

I once had five in a turn before VI and since I couldn't save between battles I got tired and auto-resolved the last two.

Thank god for the VI save between battles http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flirt.gif

I've launched a few blitzkreigs attacking all enemies from all sides, I was strapped for cash, and felt like a risk. Around 10 or so, I attacked German, Spain, finished France and the aragonians.

Don't know the most i've had but the most grueling was 3 battles all with the mongol horde.

They attacked khazar, georgia and volga-bulgaria.

I was the turks and each battle took well over an hour http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif .

Needless to say i won all of them, just. Thank heavens for janissary archers and trees. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif



PS. Though they did return about 50 years later and lasted more than 1 turn http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif .

The truth of the matter is that my king was like 55, without heirs, and I knew I was going to lose. So I just packed my armies up and decided to throw one last temper tantrum. I lost most of em, http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif , but it was still kind of amusing.

The most Ive had were about 8 full blown battles, all involving the ability to call in reinforcements. This was mainly die to my play style of building up multiple large armies and attacking other factions in multiple provinces so that they cannot reinforce all the provinces im attacking. I also didnt use auto-resolve, just not as fun.

12 - in one of my early games I was swamped by mass rebellions. It took me the best part of a month to play that turn, as the chances of playing through 12 battles without the game crashing is pretty slim. I estimate that actual playing time was into double figure hours, so I was having to leave the game on overnight...

It was my main justification for buying VI - between battle save opportunities.

The only time I've had a civil war I had rebellions in 27 provinces. I decided to fight for 25 of them in one turn. Of those 25 I managed to take 23. Quite a lot of these must have been resolved with the rebels deciding they couldn't win and thus would result in no battle, but the actual number of battles must have been quite high as I couldn't outnumber them in every province.

I have never used autoresolve and didn't do so that night. MTW was version 1.1 so there was no quicksave. It was a long night and I was pretty useless at work the next day.

Noone has started a civil war in my empires since then. That will teach them.
