How far have you come?

Persia - Around 1820, conquered nearly all of Ottoman Empire, India, most of Russia, all of Great Britain's american and Caribbean provinces, all of UP's too, now just bored and giving my protectorate Ottoman Empire 50-100k a turn to keep the Polish at bay.

Going to start a new game as Crimean Khanate and take over the world.

That's why you need to roleplay. I'm at 1820 right now, and I only have 9 regions.

I haven't played enough for that yet. In M2TW I used to do silly things once I'd had a few big campaigns, like take Russia and avoid having to fight the mongols by invading Britain and holding just that island and nothing else. Of course you'd still end up super rich, but at first money was so tight I'd have to make war, take a foreign city, and demolish all the buildings and abandon it because of my self-imposed rules. After a while mainland Europe was like a desert and I still only had a few provinces.

Then there were the "one city" games I used to play.

You can make your own fun in any game.

now im at 1760's as marathas, with 4 american colonies :P

Enough. Either play nice, or don't play at all. That goes for everyone.


Personally, I still have yet to get more than 30 years or so into a campaign. There are still too many things I find frustrating and/or lackluster about the game that preclude from becoming more immersed. The potential is definitely there, but it needs more patching/updating first.

I have found this to be true with most TW games: you get far enough into it that it starts to get really fun, then you just steamroll everyone and you are completely unstoppable. at that point there's no fun in continuing

That's why I don't steamroll or blitz the map.

I don't steamroll either, but just the ability to do so makes the game not challenging enough for me to keep going after 1720 or so.

i don't either; its in the 1850's already and all i control is india(which i didnt get the achievement for ) and the U.P.'s holdings in america. plus a pirate city.

Quite, I note someone plays with only 1 trade node/theatre and max 5 ships which overall would seem a great idea to limit humans economic abilities, certainly IMHO this is the single most abused feature of the game. I hope the ai will attack trade nodes in 1.3.

And of course taking advantage of few/no naval invasions allows humans a huge advantage, but hard to play without it.
