Now that is pretty neat!
It should be noted that although I have completed the 9 turn long campaign, SirRethCir beat me to it, and it is now my burden to finish the long campaign in 8 turns in order to reclaim the title. SirRethCir deserves the recognition in accomplishing this feat, not me.
Hey, if someone beat entire map in 70 turns on Lands to Conquer, that would be a sight to see. Although in vanilla it's not that much of a challenge, it's still a good starting point for Blitzmasters in training.
Now is this on page two finally or what?
EDIT: YES IT IS!!! YAYYYYY I CAN NOW MOVE HALF OF THE PHOTOS!!!

And that's how you do that.
Hey, can you guys see all the images now? Or do I have to wait for a page number 3 for them all to be viewable?
Re: HRE- Blitz All Provinces
Ive not read any opf the above posts, but why is it that non of your armys disbanned on the crusades? On my crusades if i dont go straight to the target they all disband. Your going in the total oposit directions and they arnt disbanding?
Re: HRE- Blitz All Provinces
Wow, very impressed! I 'm so stuck in the turtle mentality I can't even comprend the blitz tactics. Obviously far superior to the slow turtle approach I take. Using your approach I did try to use crusader stack but it wouldn't allow me to attack any catholic factions until they were excommunicated. I also lost the majority of the force to disbanding.
Re: HRE- Blitz All Provinces
Dam thats alot of loading time for the pics... and Im on broadband at work...I feel for those with 56k hehehe... I do have 1 question tho ATPG .. I noticed that from turn 27 to turn 28 your florins increased by nearly 50k but ur income was under 10k profit.... is that due solely to looting cities/rewards for crusades? If so perhaps Ive been attacking the wrong areas of the map... omw to those turks first nexxtime I suppose...

Exactly. Sacking cities, especially large ones, will net you 10,000-20,000. Also, losing a LOT of troops in battle conquering your enemies can result in huge differences in your annual budget. I also love to pillage and destroy things, which also nets you cash.

You can prevent all loss to desertion by leaving the crusade and then joining the crusade again in the same turn, but it only works for the first 10 turns, because then you cannot rejoin.

You can use two tactics to attack the Catholics who arent excommed:
1. take a rebel or noncatholic settlement and then move your general (still on crusade) out of the city. The entire army still inside the city will become a "garrison" next turn, and officially leave the crusade. Your general can continue on by himself, or leave the crusade too and lead the stack. But it's a great way to earn new generals... have captian led stacks attack your foes.
2. Have your crusader general leave the crusade, while all your troops are still on the crusade. Now move next to a city as if you were to beseige it. Now leave the crusade, click on your stack, select ONLY YOUR NON CRUSADER GENERAL and beseige the city with him. It will work, and you will have the entire crusader stack "backing him up"
Next turn, take the city (warnings will appear that the troops will disband this turn...)
Now, rejoin the crusade and move where ever you want. Rinse and repeat.
This is so cheap, I didn't even do it for this campaign. But YOU can.
Re: HRE- Blitz All Provinces
i didn;t know you could do that with crusades. But i dont think i will. It just doesn;'t seem right having cusades marching in the oposit direction. Especialy not attacking catholic factions who arnt excomunicated.
What is the fastest amount of turns the game can be completed with out using these two exploits? I was quite happy with my self currently playing HRE with 30 villages in 26 turns lmao. I dont play much, tis on vh vh.
