Your plans for you first REAL campaign on M:TW

[NagatsukaShumi]

By real I mean, not just testing the campaign with units and building etc, I mean your first crack at a victory.

I will probably be England

My plan is to take the region of Lithuania (I have an obsession with that country damn it!) because it is kind of central in Europe and will be a great point to build up a force, I'll probably build the best castle I have there and build up my forces there. Then I will mount and assaults on the western area, I'll sort the Mongols out later as well as the Russians, take the west and then prepare to finish everyone off.

So what are your rough plans?

Ah so!

Interesting.

My plan is this: Start out as the Almohad. Defeat the spanish and hold the line in the Pyrennes. Then, turn on Egypt and take the land of the Pharohs. Once Egypt is secured, march north towards Byzantium.

But the infidel forces will be ammassed against me for sure. So, I will hold in northern Palestine and (Allah willing), launch an invasion of Sicily and Italy. From my power base in Tunisia, I will descend my camel horde on the unsuspecting papal states and subdue them to the Will of the One True God. Then, I will march north to the Alps.

This gives me a two-pronged stance on western Europe. As long as the line in Palestine holds, I can then launch an attack into southern France from both Spain and Italy. The prize: Toulouse and Acquitaine. Once captured, I will have the French on the run, sandwiched between me and the English pigs.

The infidel will not be able to resist the Army of God, God be willing.

I would try to marry a daughter to the Byzantines to keep the peace there, and do my best of foment war in the Balkans to keep them busy all this while.

Then, the task will be the English. I would muster the Army of God to lay siege to Normandy, and finally, invade the Heretic Island to free them from their theological slavery. Resistance is futile.

With England facing Mecca 5 times a day, then I can turn my attention eastward to the last remaining outposts of heresy in the world. Methodically, I will march the banners of God into the lands of the infidel. All shall bow before me... the Germans... the Russians... the Mongols... and... the Byzantines.

And all that for just 39 cents! God bless you, Taco Bell! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif

Malta will sink under its weight.

I will be the mighty Hojo, wealthiest of all clans. The purple horde will sweep out of eastern Japan and crush all in its path...

Uh, make that "Byzantines", "factions" and "Europe".

Ya know - this one is easy for me. I don't wanna be no camel rider, no dude from an empire that sounds like I should go buy some Dentyne (breath freshening gum for those that don't know), no smelly frenchman (unless I can win by taunting like those cool guys in The Quest for the Holy Grail by Monty Python). English, German (or whatever they are called) and Mongol are probably going to be my main three fixations.

It would be cool if there was a Monty Pythonesq quotes option or easy ways of changing the sound files for the game.

My plans are to go for which ever european country makes the best heavy ground infantry and make a New Roman Empire... avoiding Russia in the winter as it seems to be the end of many such attempts.

[Hirosito]

i think you are right i might go with the best infantry or with germany who are likely to have the best nkights

Teutonic Knights.

Start in Prussia/Baltic area and go get me some light cav.

Light Cav and Superior Knights should be an interesting combination.

I think i just like the fact that their helmets look like they would get really good T.V. reception.

drat.

That ASCII mess was suposed to be a Teutonic Helmut.

I am really looking forward to playing the campaign in the game, it seems so much more 'in-depth' compared to STW. I will most likely choose to play as the English, French, or German, I never really cared for the north african area of the medieval times but it will all be fun none the less. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

[ShadesWolf]

I will be the English and kick those frenchies butts.

I will reclaim what is rightfully Englands.
All France once again will be under the control of an English King - Long live Henry V. The true king of ALL France.

Osama greets his guests and serves them Pepsi while lecturing them on the principles of his jihad.

Other cultures are merely there to tease us with a little variety. Just like seeing monkeys in the zoo. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif

What does that say?

America has already won... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif

The AMerican anthem is the only one that includes the word "bomb" in its lyrics.

What does that say?

Don't sing it while on an airplane!

GAH!

USA is the Son Of England hence its Standard Operating Environment will be the same emphasis of make everything like itself.
