I'm curious to know how everyone plays the long campaign.

I'd imagine that at one end of the spectrum are the rushers, who try to conquer provinces as quickly as possible, and basically keep rolling over the AI with large stacks. The combat oriented players, I suppose.

At the other end would be the slow expansionists. They tend to try to keep alliances intact, even if it halts their easiest path to expansion. I would assume that they're also more interested in city building than the former group.

Then there's the players in who lie somewhere in between...

So, what's your playing style in RTW and what year do you usually end up at when you finally conquer 50 provinces?
