Seljuk Turks campaign

XL Mod 3.0 - Expert

Seriously, it is crazy. I managed to rake in very good profits from the trade system and the upgraded farms and this enabled me to defeat the Mongols when they invaded, so take a look at the numbers. Dizzying.

Apart from that, the Almoravids have conquered almost half of Europe and now they find themselves in the position where almost every province rebelled against their rule.

Once I reach 1250, where more points will be counted, I'll start doing quick reports on how this is progressing. So far I lead with my points but there's an interesting problem with the Almoravids. They give me the most trade money and yet they're threatening my top spot for points. This will be very very interesting as it evolves.

Thank you for the laugh.

I'm loving this campaign. Not sure what to do later on, I just want the Mongols to expand but they've spent 20.000 men just on me and they don't have that much power to advance further on. Almoravids are crumbling due to rebellions and factions are reappearing, which means great fun later on. Byzantines have been eliminated after i killed their King in battle but I expect them to return soon.

Just take the steppe and then work your way west.

That's the issue with the Steppe.

1. I'm allied with the Cuman Khanate, I don't want to break it since they bring some trade profit and plus they're allied with almost all of the countries on the map.

2. I want the Golden Horde to live and expand eastwards. Unfortunately, they're just sitting there.

3. I only have 280.000 florins. I want to reach 350-400.000 florins before I attempt any expansion eastwards. Right now I'm using agents to sow unrest, particularly Alims.

4. Fighting against the Almoravids right now is a bad decision - they have huge armies (I have the most, but still) and if I go to war with them my 15.000 florin profit per turn will suddenly go down to 1000.

I will have to wait for the moment and expand wherever I can (rebel provinces).
