What do you mean 40%? 40% of the map? Way too late for that man I got all the way to 60% and ended the campaign without that happening. I mean it happened to a few of them but I had so many provinces (and so many trade provnces) that it really didn't effect me. Half of the rest of the map was rebel anyway from various factions going under and then reemerging in strange places (like the Spanish reemerging in Scotland...). I could have gotten 100% pretty easily I guess; the only real threats were Egypt and a backdoor reemergence of the Poles or someone like that. But I've read what happens to those who choose to go for 100% and I didn't want to deal with that.

Besides, Western Europe is a messy place //shudders//. If I ever play a faction that starts over there it seems like the best strategy is to try and bring some order to the chaos very quickly. That and guard against the inevitable reemergence of the French...


I think I'm ready to try another faction now. Any suggestions consistent with my skill level?


Thanks,
