hey, i'm new to this community and to the whole total war scene. i've been reading your posts consisting of m2tw which i've been anticipating however i can't quite grasp how you play it yet. i started about 2 months ago playing RTW, and from what i understand, this is very VERY different. i'm going to be straight up and say that yes, i do suck at the game. i always read how you guys blow through the game very easily and it puzzles me a slight (this is singleplayer), however i was just wondering the main difference from MTW and it's gameplay to RTW. i know they're very different and RTW is pretty toned down in content, which dissapoints me slightly. i had a few questions that i hope you guys can maybe help me out with

crusades..how do these work and benefit your faction? also the concept of jihad and such? also from what i understand MTW is much more difficult? i was wondering in what sense it is. could you guys give me a few pointers on this? i'll be posting here but i'm still trying to understand the conversion from RTW to mTW . if you guys can bear with my stupidity it'd be appreciated, thank you very much

few more weeks fellas :D
