Prussian campaign

[Lemur]

Actually, I always found the "conquer the world" the least interesting part of the TW games. Except maybe Shogun, where unification of Japan really was the goal of all the daimyo. And playing as the Romans, I suppose, where a certain amount of crazy land-grabbing felt in character.

I'm glad that annexing all of Europe isn't the only path to glory in Empire.

I prefer to take ove a small, realistic area of a territory. Like the reconquista or uniting Britian. But I still think being able to take over the whole word is a reasonable goal, it is a game after all.

I'm really looking forward to being able to win in more ways than just a landgrab. I want to win because of trade and my superbly cultured citizenry, not just because I had a bigger army than the next guy.

Having a bigger army helps though
Allthough I think I will be more interested in quality of troops than quantity; a mob is nice and threatening but they break easily.

Me to. I prefer a small, organised force of elite experienced units to a mob. Its also more fun to fight outnumbered, and more satisfying when you win.

And thanks to the greater moral the last-stands, should I ever have to fight them, are even more satisfying as your troops are "fighting to the last" not running around like headless chickens.
