Hi,
I played this game a little when it came out, but then gave it a long break. I've recently picked it up again, and have started a French campaign, playing on M/M so I could get back into the game after the long break. I'd appreciate some advice, since I've been away for so long.
So here are my questions:
1) I currently have a crusader force besieging Antioch, which I'll take in a couple of turns. What should I do after I take it?
I presume since it's so far away, I should exterminate the population. Is it worth trying to create a permanent middle eastern enclave, or would I be better off selling up and heading back to France?
2) In my French campaign, I've conquered a good deal of what was once the Holy Roman Empire, although it still has one or two territories left, including Vienna. Prague is held by rebels.
If I attack these territories, I'm worried it will stretch me too far. Currently my empire feels reasonable compact, but this will bring me a long way into central / eastern europe, and I'm worried it may make me vulnerable to attack by too many other countries (Poland and Hungary are both strong in this game).
Should I not worry about that, and just go ahead and attack, or should I bide my time, move my forces to attack someone else, and hope to secure peace with the remnants of the HRE?
3) I've read about some of the mods on this forum, such as Stainless Steel and Vanilla mod. They sound interesting, but I can't help but wonder if I'd miss out on some of the original game if I started playing with mods too early.
Should I mod for my next game or not?
How easy is it to remove mods that have been installed?
Is it possible to install mods alongside the original game and switch back and forth?
Is it possible to have multiple mods installed at the same time?
How compatible are mods with the Kingdoms expansion pack? E.g. if I installed a mod and then installed kingdoms afterwards, would kingdoms overwrite the mod?
