There are a few benefits that should help the time rush of 198 turns.

First of all this time around your generals can build armies in the field. Which is supposed to elimnate the long wait times while you wait 3 years for army A, B, and C to meet up so you can attack Fort A.

Secondly, this time movement should be quicker, so getting across map won't take as long.


Third, the achievements this time around are more related to the Glorious Achievments of MTW 1 then MTW2 conquer all. So this time your goal may be to form a trade empire, or protect your country's homeland, or conquer france, etc, etc. So while you can conquer everything it is not *THE* goal this time around.

So, the game should allow us more to do, and make things easier
