I've just realised through my many campaigns which my favorite city is at this moment.
No matter what happens with prejudice in this world and stuff, I have to admit I'm a true believing catholic and i'm not exactly ashamed no matter what some people think. Therefore while doing my campaigns i've realised now that no matter who i am and where i am in europe always seem to capture jerusalem. It has wide borders and strategic positioning for the east. It also has some good resources, but...er...i've forgotten what the resources are.

I always like to have my capital in Byzant or Rome.

My favorite city is definately Domus Dulcis Domus!!! You're probably scratching your head wondering if it even exists, but it indeed does. It's up in the Germanic Wasteland, adjacent to the Baltic Sea.

I don't know if even historically there was such a city (I searched), but in Latin it literally translates to "Home Sweet Home". I'm thinking that maybe the CA people have a sense of humor. But with a name like that, how could you not love it? My campaign never seems complete until I have Home Sweet Home with in the reaches of my empire. Remember, just like Dorothy said "There's no place like home".

That's awesome; I'd never noticed that before.

Indeed they do. Whatever other faults the developers may have, lack of humor is definitely not one of them! Just about every single TW title has its share of little jokes (such as Domus Dulcis Domus) if you know where to look. In MTW, there's an unused title in a file somwhere called "Master of the Royal Privies", or something to that effect. It doesn't appear in the game, but you can mod it so that it does.

That reminds me of something the EB team put in the early BETA versions (0.7.x) of their mod - the disabled trait "EB Team Member" which gave a dramatic influence bonus and management bonus. It was sadly removed later on due to the space being needed for additional "real" traits.

Knowing the EB crew's understandably fierce stand on historical accuracy,that doesn't surprise me.

Emperor Menelaus You seem to like Greece and Troy, check out this mod. If you had a street then I would presume it was over half way down.
