    We have much larger map with more provinces. Some areas are as congested as vanilla, though we haven't added more provinces to the area (see Greece as an example), and others are much less so. I don't think any of our areas are more congested than the most congested vanilla areas.

    And that should be the best answer, IMHO. RTR got a little boring for me after time (to much petty sieges, not enought place to do some maneouvering on campmap), and BI goes with massive armies - much better, but.. to much (i like 1 vs 1 stack battles, not 5 vs 5.. weird to have so small amount of provinces (and where's economical balance?). So still able to produce some troops to fight, and still cities are important and worth fighting for.

    Also, 4 turns per yer can be really helpfull. Finally most sieges can take 1/2-1 year (not the ridiculous 4-years sieges).. if you like history, of course
