Ok tnx for the answers m8.I am fighting the timurids now and it is quite fun on open ground!ElephantS!!!!

I did check the thread u mention but i see some jihad abuse there plus i would like to know if the game was patched(the patch greatly improved the ai in battles-and the desertion part of crusades jihad is improved too).Furthermore cavarly archers(it was done with the turks) are pure ownage in the game if played well ESPECIALLY pre-patch when the enemy just sits there and gets wiped out by arrows...
Also on vh ai is extremely aggresive.All your neighbours attack u and only u-they rarely make war at each other and no way full scale wars...
I would like to know the record for the world conquest with the game patch and no crusade/jihad...!

Anyway i completed the main quest at round 48 and conquered the world at round 99 playing as milan.And i played quite "hardcore" to be honest-i am an experienced player.It could have been faster though but not THAT fast!

cyaa...
