I'm playing as the Danes.
Took sweden & denmark fast. In fear of getting attacked by the HRE, I build up farms waited for florins and pumped out vikings. They never attacked, so with 500 vikings sitting there, me losing 1,000 florins a year, why not attack them. I never realized the awesomeness of vikings, i took hre, poland, and france. I build up in europe, took england, got excommunicated :(
Rebels raged, french re appeared. I built inns everywhere, and purchased every merc available. My luck turned as i got enough garrison, took over england, and waited until the pope died (which wasn't long). I disbanded all mercs, built up, and crusaded the almohads. The russians had already taken almost all rebels.
I whiped through the almohads, egyptians, and am now tearing into Turkey. The Turks must have pushed the Byzantines all the way to the north-east, i also started a conquest there. I could claim the lesser victory, but I never have, and never will. Here's my empire:
I'll update my campaign soon!
