Test Game

I agree with TC and think it would be best to have all the provinces close together so that the game can be quick. We don't want to have to wait for years before some of the factions can even get involved.

What about Kingdoms?

If we only use it as a test game it'll be fine and pretty much any faction in the Brittannia or Crusades campaign would work. Plus it's already sort of established.

England in the Brittania campaign would be perfect for what were doing.

I have a vanilla save game as France with 13 provinces and 11 generals, and all the territories are in France and Germany/Switzerland. We could use that?

I'm at 18 provinces with France, all of them connected except the ones on the British Isles, but only 10 generals so far. They'll come along soon, and I'll start manipulating them in via MoH. I should have this ready in just a bit.

The game stopped throwing me MoHs for some reason, so I had to go ahead until the two youngest French sons grew up. 16 avatars and 20 provinces. Here's the situation and save:

There are two nobles who are just about to return from going on Crusade and they possess the only dismounted knights in the realm. Their return would make a good trigger for the civil war. The King, his two sons, and one other general are on the British Isles, and would be a good third faction. Prince Louis and two or three other generals are in the south of France and northern Spain, making up another good faction. The middle nobles stretch from Rennes to Bern and could make up a good third faction.

Of course there are plenty of other ways to split it. Papal relations are near perfect, and we're only at war with the Reich, who won't accept a ceasefire no matter how many times I smash them and release the prisoners. I guess I could add money and buy them off, but it didn't occur to me before I uploaded.
