I started a campaign as Turks/early/expert and wanted to see how far I could get in 40 turns. It is now turn 40 and I have taken as far as cordoba in the west, and as far as Poland-Hungary-Serbia in the east.
The only things I do not own are the territories east/north of Cordoba and west of Poland/Hungary.
I was able to accomplish this by taking my time and micromanaging effectively, getting as many saracen infantry as possible (Ive been making at least 4 per turn since I was capable of it around turn 15 or so), and in the early game using alot of horse archers.
I didn't cheat in any way, earned alot of money by ransoming Egypt's king 2 times and the Byz king 3 times, and have only destroyed the Novgorod and Egyptian factions.
I have the save game of course, and I can show SS if someone tells me how to post them. I really want to know how fast other people are able to expand so I can tell if Ive really got the campaign game down or not.
Oh and despite 'rushing' I build in every province in every turn, so Im sure I have more of an 'empire' than any non-rusher. I also have about a dozen ships in the water and Alims covering most of the world.
Dont bother flaming, Im not posting this because Im trying to brag. I really want to hear from other people who like to challenge themselves on campaign mode and see how fast they can win.
