    How do you loose MTW? I suppose if you let your royal line die off it could happen (to me once). This game’s real simple; just remember MTW isn’t RTW and you’ll win half your battles. When I first started playing I tried taking spearmen against AUMs then I discovered Jinettes. I haven’t lost with the Spanish yet! This game’s real easy. Just use your head, tactics, and develop your infrastructure. The more hilly maps might be a problem attacking but even on flat terrain I can normally beat 4-1 odds defending. Loose this game? If I did, I’d have to order another copy.

It took me three tries for one to sucessfully last beyond the first fifty years, and that only because I got extremely lucky with the French suffering a civil war AND capturing Genoa in a do-or-die attempt.
    Worst thing about the HRE is the micromanagement in XL. More provences means slower deployments. The thing I've found playing them (or the English) is to take out the French Royal line fast! Eliminating single provence factions and using the iron and hills to your advantage is a must too.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
