Next Campaign, I wanna get my butt kicked. Any suggestions

[Budwise]

Play any faction, but play "guts" Total War. I think it has been talked about in here before. Basically:

1) Auto-tax provinces
2) Auto-assign governor titles
3) Auto-construct buildings
4) Auto-train units

You have to just take what the AI gives you and make the best of it.

Let me know how you make out if you try it...

I already do the first three. EVERY GAME. I just construct the buildings I want first in the few providences that I want to upgrade. IF I have the florins, I have gotten some cool things.
