Anyone Else Feel Rushed in the Campaign?

Playing with 1.1 patch but no other mods.

Never seem to have enough time to get the required number of regions before time-out.

Currently I'm in the 1570's as Spain, have about 40 regions and have started work on the New World, but the Timurids have the Middle east and the Mongols have Russia and Central Europe and I'm still grinding away at Milan who are a tough nut to crack.

Would it be possible to have an option on the start of campaign screen, where you decide on level of difficulty etc to have a turns per year option - perhaps in the 1.3 patch if there is one.

It'd be a major patch as you'd need to amend all the build times, movement rates etc but that "only" needs the multiplier set for each option.

There is a feeling of being pushed pretty hard, though I ended up with the requisite number of territories with like 60 turns left (I'm not taking Jerusalem just yet---want to visit the New World if I can stop it from CTDing).

Playing as the English in unmodded M2TW, I'm fighting Denmark and Hungary (the last two Catholic nations left other than the Pope himself), and they're both sending mobs of DFK at me. They'll be even more terrifying when the shield bug is fixed....

So where is patch 1.2? lol

My pace seems to be taking one settlement every two turns or so. I don't feel like I am blitzing. I spend most of the game counter attacking the factions who attack me.

I don't specifically try to win quickly, but the only way to win is to deprive your enemies of their territory. If you leave them undisturbed in their home land it plays right into their hands.

So, no, not rushed.

Yea fighting hordes of DFK is obviously not as bad as fighting hordes of militia (their army actually looks shiny instead of a dirty bunch of peasants :2thumbsup: ) but when AI is sending this type of army at you, and 2 hundred years later or so they're STILL sending the same type of stacks at you, sorta leaves you wanting to fight something different, ya know?

I guess thats why they threw in the aztecs :laugh4:

I understoof what you meant, just pointing out that they are pretty advanced, in fact they are the best foot infantr avalibile to Hungary, so they aren't that bad.

Hmm, I didn't know that they were the most advanced melee infantry available to Hungary. I guess what I'll have to do next time is make absolutely sure HRE doesn't get mobbed from the start :2thumbsup:

I'd forgoten you said the enemy was Hungary. Yeah, allthough Hungary gets some other units furthar u[p their tech tree, they have the best stats of any hungarian Infantry. Hungary is a mostly HA/Melee cav faction with a few infantry units as well.
