    Default How to keep interested on a steamroller

    Now then comrades,my current campaign Scilly/high/hard/g.a V.I having crested the 60% shenanigans without much fuss and now at 1306 ,is getting a little bit beige. The goals are still unimaginativly 'keep control of malta'I Lead the HRE by 5 points and am dutifully 'giving them the good word'on 2 fronts No more competition worth mentioning since the Almohads went all Jihad and I've knocked'em back with 2 successive successful crusades.
    I've right enjoyed this one and want to do it justice before starting another.Any ideas to keep my interest up?that still retain an air of realism.

    Command personally all the battles.... Also, do some sieges with cannons and use Organ Guns on the battlefield.....

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Play a faction, conquer their historical territories. Build as big of an army as you can and take over the whole without reinforcing your army(s).
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Just keep comparing your land size and army composition to famous empires, such as the Golden Horde and Rome.

    Playing all the battles and excessively using cannon is good too.

    What I usually do to keep things interesting is, surgical strikes. You see I am not much of a battler. I do well enough but my timing is off and the AI typically catches wind of my battle strategies. So when I've womped the game into subbmission, I try to take land with the smallest force possible. If I am gonna attack a prov that has a 3* gen and a developed (peasants don't count) 1000 men. I send in a 3* gen and 500 men. I send 1/2 of what he has. Then I have to rely on tactics and positioning and all the things I typically don't bother with when I have an uber-army.
    Every weapon has evolved from the same basic design, either a rock or a sharp pointy stick.

    Run the game with -ian.

    Switch faction and face the behemoth you've created.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
