I played one game as the Vikings where I raided every province on the map at least once. My goal was to keep each faction in the stone age, I did everything but salt the earth as I rampaged up and down the map. You can land 2 raiding groups on either end, and just clear out buildings as you go. Every now and then you have to land some reinforcements, but the cash rolls in and you only have to tech up 2 provinces. I had over 50K florins stored up before I began the actual occupation, which was quite hilarious with Joms Vikings taking on whatever scraps the AI factions could manage.
