I must say I am a turtle at heart... I make a LOT of "house rules", such as:

* I may not accept adoptions or man of the hour, to keep the bloodline straight.
* I am not allowed to capture more than 1 province / 3 turns.
* I try to roleplay, as an example, if a character turns 16, and there is a cardinal in how city called "the warmonger", and the pope calls for a crusade, I will then crusade with this character no matter if it's wise or not.

Do I think I am more hardcore than the people who finish the campaign in X (X = few) turns?

Nope

We all play this game to HAVE FUN, people have fun in different ways.

Although I do not blitz as of late, the THREADS about blitzing has helped me understand the game mechanics, and have more than one time helpd me out of a really tight spot.

This forum is open for everyone, in my oppinion, the best player is the one who *gasp* has the most FUN out of the GAME. That's why we all play, isnt it?

To then flame different playstyles is for me futile...


Sidenote: Please AoW, where does the term "blitzkrieg" show up prior to WWII?

Edit: spelling

You sent me this in PM as well - and I responded.

As I've shown you, the entire concept was a product of WW1. Hitler didn't wake up one morning during the bombing of Poland and have a "new idea". It was a style of warfare that developed from the need to break static trench warfare in ww1.

It was fully realized and became a mainstream term when the military technology of ww2 was introduced, as this made the mobile, lightening nature of the style more viable.

This is getting a little silly now. Locked, unlocked, locked, unlocked.

Perhaps a little too much "government intervention". Let the chips fall where they may faction
