Just a quick hello, after reading the site for the last few weeks. I just thought I would stop thinking about joining in the forum, and would just go ahead and do it.

First, a thank you to those who run such Forum's, many thanks, and greetings to all members.

I'm a thirty something player, and love the escapism from playing MTW, and previously Shogun. Xmas should hopefully deliver RTW.

Anyway, I'm playing Spanish on Early just now and have reached the point where no-one wants to fight me, so I've got a few hundred Florins tucked in the bank, I'm at 1264, I'm creating Lancers and Gendarmes, so now is the time to go to WAR!!!

Should I take on the BYZ with its large stacks, or take on the Pope by hitting France/HRE etc. Or should I just hit everyone and see who comes out alive?

Thoughts?
