Hello.
Here s a fairly typical campaign since I started in Dec.
Spanish/Early/Easy
I get I beria okay,leaving out Portugal.I take Navarre. This is my fifith attempt at this campaign-four times I ve "lost"
I carry on against the al Mohads,taking Morrocco, all the way to Cyrenecia. I ve learnt not to use the Crusade option until necessary. So I ve used it only once so far against the al Mohads in Granada,mainly to trap them in Cordoba.It went well.
After Cyrenecia the al Mohads disappear for a while.At this stage money is really low and I have to decide whether to put up with the insufficient funds message,or give up. I decide to stick it out.
I mange to build ships 2x2 from Castille then from Leon stretching around the N Sea. In come begins to improve.
The French send a Crusade to Portugal where the al Mohads have reappeared.I remove all my troops from the provinces the Crusade route,then attack with the French,who only have 500 men against my 1000+We win and I get the province.
Then I see a way to Ireland and send an army there.Beat them.
I send my second Crusade to Tripoli-the Egyptians.
My king dies of a "disease".There are only two little girl heiresses,end of campaign.
Before I ve lost due to lack of funds-a state of bankruptcy.
Also once I (foolishly) committed my princes to battles.
Then I even got to post 1400 in a showdown with the French but my kingdom fell apart with multiple rebellions.
Questions: should I have stabbed the French in the back in Portugal?
how do you make money quickly?
