Well i failed my first two campaigns pretty badly. But now im playing a new one and at turn ~110 i have 32 regions and am making about 15-20k per turn. Is this where i should be to achieve victory? I'm also in place to take out spain, Portugal, and Denmark pretty easily. and HRE if i want.

if i beat the game can i play as the Mongols? because ive never ran into them. what about Timur? also, when the new world opens up, will there even be competition? i will have controlled pretty much all of the west coast by then.

also, to raise priests stats, do i have to send them out of my city or can i just keep them there?

thanks
