I'm having a blast as Milan...after playing the Byz and Spain I feel like I am drowning in florins....I buy things I don't need, spend some on the Poop...er Pope. It started affecting my day to day judgement....my RL finance is never going to recover after this Christmas

Egypt's been the easiest (won on turn 58) along with england, but the byz and danes have been the most fun due to severe financial problems (caused by a multifront war as the byz and maintaining a kingdom of heaven as the danes at a massive loss)

So far I have had the most fun playing as the Danes. I have roughly 200k in florins, which blows my mind as to what to do with it. It's those merchants I sent east and south. When you get 650 per merchant it really adds up. I usually play a slow game, around turn 70 and I only have 6 provinces. I don't like to rush, because the AI needs all the help it can get. The French has been on the Pope's shit list for awhile so I decided to call a crusade on Paris, that was pretty fun. It was even funnier when the Polish took Paris and have been holding it for 10 turns or so. I think I am going to try and play as the Moors or something next. Mix it up a bit.

I too am playing as the HRE and thing's are going great. From my original starting position i've moved south. I destroyed the Sicilians and now completely own Italy except for Rome. Milan and Venice attack me on occasion but are really only a nusiance at this point. I've moved into Egypt now and am moving west from Tunis. Just a few turns ago the Poles decided to attack me which was a mistake on their part. I'm about to attack their capital, so i'll see how that goes. I'm trying to take thing's as slowly as i can, just for the fun of it.

Oh, i forgot to mention the HRE ;P

Turn ~56 (iirc), i hold all of germany, most of poland (one province left), most of france (2 provinces), northern italy (except genoa) and am moving on the rest of france/poland as well as denmark and genoa.

I've been excommunicated since about turn 5 :P

Well... I have only played with France and Vience and am having much more sucess with Vience after two unsucessful games as France, first I was being conqured, second I was at war aganist... just about everyone on my borders and I might had been able to build up and defeat them all... except the country was completly bankrupt loosing 3000 per turn. Then I decided to try Vience because it looked easy to start of conquest with and it was. I am on turn 70-something, I have taken Constantonable and about to take that city across from it again (first time, I lost it because I wasn't defending it with much and the Byzantines wanted it back really badly)... yeah I have turned the Byzantine Empire into a joke. I have every costal territory from Naples to Constantonable. On the Western Front, as me having Naples suggest I have deystored Sicily. I am also finishing off Milian in Eastern France and have taken all of the Holy Roman Empire's southern territories.

Sorry for the wall of text... I just like talking about my games and have no one to talk about it with
