I just finally completed my first game in medieval total.I played the Italians.
The game started and i began taking rebel provences with crusades etc.I had prussia all outo n its own.i had tounite my country.
I relised after a few battles that itallian infantry rocks.I also had began building a large trade empire streatching through my lands to portugal.With cash and an uber unit.I marched like a wave through the byzarians not even thier mighty Kats could stand my large armys with fine generals.They fought bitterly but i crushed them under my sandel.I even had constantanople wich would be a mighty army grower in years to come.After secureing my boarders on my half of the turkish peninsula i contuned northward taking the quickest route to unite prussia.But i stayed away from mongol lands i was petrified of them.
No througout all my history mighty armys waited silently for the hoard.When would would the come no one knew(i shouldve cheacked on a site).Well anyway the greedy polish attacked my lands in europe.I poured down my wrath[i attacked].My hungarian 'Allies' betrayed me and sided with the polish.So i took them also.My lands were now quite big.I moved onward taking sweeden and norway.Bit of trouble.Raised another ship fleet after that.Took rebeling sothernst english provence and scotland.Prepared thee greatest army of irish and scots to wipe out england.
...BUTThe french attacked.They were more than my match.The egyptians in my byzarians shortly attacked.England must wait France is first.In a series of battles with my italian troops i won and was beaten regulary.I did not use my irishscot army yet.I begged in fear for my homelands for peace.I was refused many a time.

The irish and scottish attacked.In a series of unheard of feats of millitary genus and protect by italian infantry.They were slowly crushed.But i knew that thier strength my not be enough but as luck would have it the the french suffered civil war and i took all thier land.

meanwhile back in Italy...
Don marco the papish forces Attack

Dont be silly boy.:looks down telescope:
AHHHHHThe Papish.

My trade route finished it took me ages to peace the pope.Meanwhile the mongols arrived and fearing a wall of spikes attacked my great rivals the egyptians.Who were previously the second greatest millitary power.
Spain attacked.They owned spain and the almods lands.I counter attacked.And was ecomunicated.Slowly i chipped them away,but not without event.
Meanwhile...
The egyptians all but gone were swiped by me.The mongols now with sevearly deminished armies attacked me.Meeting italian 3 atacks of well trained army felt bad.I then cornered thier king.After that they broke like bubbles of air.Only three provences remained and i was still 20 years from late.I was very pleased.The sislians had malta and after crusing thier navy i found i couldnt get An army into the central maridean.
that may be because MALTA ISNT IN THE MEDITERAINEAN

not knowing this i waited severl decades.Trying to kill off thier hiers and king.After discovering my mistake i was pritty pissed so i attacked with gothic sargents and gothis knights and an 8* general.They fell and so too did the papal states.

I Don Sniya the First CONQUERED THE KNOWN WORLD

I am just starting in the world that is MTW, could anyone tell me roughly how long it takes to finish a campaign. Obviously this will depend on how much time and effort is put into it, but some rough idea would be nice?

I am just on the tutorials at the moment, but after this i am eager to start my first campaign. Does it take a while to get used to it?

I'd say if you set aside the next year. That should just about be enough time. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Playing the Viking era, as the Vikings, I've eliminated every faction, however ~70% of the map is owned by the rebels. I can't be bothered any more. Mopping up is going to be tedious - plus holding provinces is no easy matter as the Vikings - no-one seems to appreciate the benefits of my rule unless I have a few hundred soldiers breathing down their necks.

Rebellions when you grow are logical, but really annoying... I did unite Europe once, with the French. Never again. Too long, too boring. 60/100 is by far enough for me.

Don't forget pagan shrines. In my one and only Viking campaign, these were of tremendous help in pacifying the population of the conquered provinces. And spies help majorly. I was very surprised at how much of a difference they can make. I've seen them improve loyatly by up to 50% http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

As for completing the game, well, I have yet to do it, actually. I tend to get bored after I establish a large empire, and never quite hit even the 60% mark before I'm starting a new campaign. Someday I'll finish one. Maybe. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
