Well, I tumbled into perhaps 1340 or so. I got bored, and started running through my rebel neighbors. Will probably terminate this one and start a new one. I mostly waited to see the Swiss armored pikemen. Actually have them and moved them to Venice, have a pile of them as I forgotI was making them (that could be why the coffers have plumented)
! May play a battle or two just to try them out again. I so often finish so I sometimes can't get Switzerland easily or find it's not worth it, so I want the fun of using those pikers.
I just plowed the Polish back under, I was initially worried as they had decent tech in a reemergence in Poland, and they were 5k strong. But after I brought everybody over, we had a 9k vs 5k face off (and many of my troops are teched up nicely). For some reason the Polish king and his sons didn't survive!
Yep, using some from some other provinces that were already teched up. Had some feudal knighs causing havoc with the horde (a much weaker version I may add) by taking some siege machines down and then chewing on some archers and UMs.Best provinces for cav for the HRE are Toulouse for Chivalric Knights +1 from High onwards and Saxony for Gothic Knights +1 from Late onwards.
Decision time
I'm wondering now, for a new campaign, the Sicilians, Hungarians, Polish, Egyptians, or the Turkish?
Let me know what you think. That HRE campaign was a blast!
