Not enough time

[KARTLOS]

Ive found the opposite problem i always finsih too quickly. this means i dont really get to see the alte units. ive just finished as the poles on h/h im not sure the exact date but i think it is around 1200 and the mongols never invaded.

the best way to keep your empire safe and make money is constant expansion.

Well, it always depends on what faction I'm using and what strat I need to use correspondingly. If I'm the HRE I would blitz like crazy until I had all of Western Europe. If I m playing as say, Spain, I would hurry and take the Iberian peninsula, then take it real slowly after that. It all depends on what faction I'm using though.

I just modded my game so that I'm advancing 1 year per turn, but the characters are ageing once every 2 turns. I'll see how I like it and mod it accordingly.

I switched the time scale to 1.00 immediately after completing installation, I hadn't even started the game up yet, haha.

I'm finding the campaign is progressing perfectly. It's 1200 now and I've already taken 30 provinces and have quite a few large, experienced armies. Right now, I'm just trying to get an experienced fighting force together before the Mongols show up.

I like to take my time too, and I like sitting around in long periods of peace building up. Unfortunately I haven't been allowed much peace as the Turks, but it's been good nontheless.

Who are you playing as?

[IPoseTheQuestionYouReturnTheAnswer]

I'm playing the Turks.

The Byzantines attacked me right when the campaign started, and the Egyptians soon after. Then the Russians attacked my castle at Tblisi. The Egyptians are destroyed, but I'm still facing skirmishes against the Russians and Byzantines, who I don't really feel like finishing off because of their impossible-to-defend positions. Between their armies, random naval battles, and huge crusader armies coming to hang in Jerusalem, I haven't had much time for peace.

I've only played as two I beat game as germans and I'm halfway through as the moors. I tried venice and spain but never got far. As germans I beat game at 222 turn and it was pefect, just right level of challenge, slow enough to enjoy some time and pick my battles.

As moors I originally thought I could never do it. Like most even after conquering Iberian pennisula I only had like 13 provinces or so at turn 50 or 60. Once I started declaring war on some people though and building up armies I am doing fine. No need to blitz really, I find one or two cities max is plenty of units to take on one computer city if you play the battles personally.
