Anyone found it to be too slow? It's probably partly because the factions are more balanced due to the period the game takes place in. However, I don't think that fully accounts for it.
I first tried a Portuguese campaign. After building up my cities and destroying the Spain faction, I was unable to do anything. Public order simply became uncontrollable. I'm not even sure why; I had taken every measure to ensure high economic growth and moderate public order, whilst trying to keep population growth low. I gave up on this campaign at about 50 turns. Also, including my own expansion and enemy invasions, I had only fought about 6 battles. Basically, the campaign had degenerated into a tedious grind.
I tried again with a Milanese campaign, with the same results. What happened? Am I using too much of a Rome TW manner of thinking, when in fact the campaign mechanics have changed? Or am I just an idiot?
