General abandoned crusade.
Still, the whole army cannot attack the settlement...

Interesting...

none of my blitzes incorporated this tactic.

You indeed discovered a loophole I've never seen before. Since I didn't explicitly prohibit the usage thereof, and other tactics which are similar are used, you may consider this a legal maneuver.

But what is totally bizarre is I am this close to beating your HRE record with 8 turns... without using that trick.

I can't imagine what I will be capable of with this trick.

It's so incredibly devious...

It almost takes the challenge out of it!

I'm actually saddened by this. Now there is literally nothing stopping me from doing one crusade to finish the whole map! It's not FAIR!!!

AARRRGGHHH!!!

Now if I want to be Long Campaign Master, I must use this incredibly insidious loophole... and it wasn't even my idea.

Very well... I shall try to make the 8 turns. You have to try to let me beat the 9 turn record, ok?

I also note that you are using a larger unit size than I am...

Interesting!

I think that would help me keep higher experienced units around longer. With smaller unit sizes, fewer survive to gain a promotion.

Sorry, life gets in the way sometimes. I wish I didn't work 40 hours a week plus college and attempts at social life, as well as family obligations...

Basically this is what I do to escape from stress... funny how I then stress myself by attempting to be the best at something.

Maybe I like adversity... who knows? :sneaky:
