milan got crushed in my byzantine campaign, and the HRE is actually suriving, which is strange cos in my english camp they got smashed by everyone lol.

to answer ur question generally variety is good in a campaign, it gets annoying if the same factions own again and again, its good to see a little bit of difference, that said, in my own experinece, the campaign map ai for the muslim factions is crap, they dont expand, and they dont build armies, its very dissapointing when u go on a crusade and jerusalam is defended by 2 family members, and when u expand into egypt u face at most 1 half stack. the same can be said for the turks in my byzantine camp, im smashing them i have faced 1 full stack army which is smashed and thats it. a little dissapointing.
