Placing ships

MTW will not let me post ships in certain areas of the ocean, therefore I cannot conquer the whole world. I am playing as the saxons.

Hello twopooles, welcome to the .Org !

I assume you are talking about the Viking Invasion expansion: in that setting, only the Vikings have ships that can cross the North Sea. Every other faction has coastal ships only. This is to prevent people from knocking out the Vikings early. Fortunately, you don't need to take the Viking lands to win the campaign. Only the British Isles need to be conquered.

There is a way to get the Viking homelands, but it is a bit cheesy. While you cannot send armies overseas, you can send agents. By sending an emissary or bishop, you can bribe the Viking garrison and take their lands that way.

Thank you, it is the viking campaign. I have conquered everything that isn't out of reach, I kept going when I reached 2/3. But the game doesn't end. I'd like find out what the game does when you win.

Never mind, there was one more land for me to conquer.

It's usually beneficial to marry ASAP. Besides gaining an alliance with the princess' father, your king/heir will now be able to produce heirs. That's more important than you may think, as it usually takes a while before they marry of their own volition, and even longer before they start procreating. It's not unknown (though not common) to lose the game because your line died out due to lack of mature heirs.
