(other than rebellion see other post)

with any faction i play as i can easily start conquering most of europe. the danes are the worst, just mass produce vikings and i was able to take all of the holy roman empire, poland, and most of the eastern europe/asia provinces in only a few decades.

its funny seeing my color dominate 50% of the map when most other factions only have maybe 4-5 provinces and haven't built any troops other than peasents and urban milita.

i post this since i wonder if at anytime the game starts to get really hard and thus really fun. not hard as in randomly spawning super stack rebellions of high tech troops, but hard as in this Shogun anectodte:

k, i was playing as Imagawa on hard i think and immediatly am under attack from Oda and Takeda and then Uesegi in my Honshuu provinces. I started pumping out any unit i could and tried to hold them off. it was awesome, only thing between the entire takeda army and my home province was 1 unit of yari ashigaru and archers.

ended up with retreating to kyuushuu provinces and then blitzing my way to victory.

Actually with a bit of thought it's not too hard to defeat the super stacks, since there is very little they can do against massed ranks of sergeants with a little support from men-at-arms and crossbowmen.

Yep, exactly the same province, the first game I played as the Vikings I had a treasury of well over 100,000 witin fifty years, and that with building as much as I could everywhere all the time.

Much too easy a game, even at expert.

the danes own. if you want to play a quick 5 hour win they're definitely the way to go.

just build that fort, crank out those vikings, and get to work.
