I will make an empire out of the Holy lands and wipe out the mongols when they appear.

0.
There's a point in every game when it's just not interesting to continue. I feel I can steamroll anybody, just don't bother to.
Played as England, Moors and Byzantium (now).
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
2: Spain and the Turks so far. Russians now

Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
4 long ones, but I intentionallt made extra conditions for victory like, no attacking fellow catholics or no sacking, always releasing, no exploits etc.
I think an Iron-man set of rules would be good

Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
yeah after doing it once i only play games just to play...with no objective other than take the danes to england, remake rome as the byzantines unify the muslim world and other self made goals....or i just play a turtling game and let the ai factions build large armies and try to take my land...
the normal campaign is just a land grab...it gets very mind numbing after while
And when the brazen cry of achilles
Was heard among the trojans, all their hearts
Were troubled, and the full-maned horses whirled
The chariots backward, knowing griefs at hand...
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
I voted 1 though technically I haven't achieved final victory for the HRE yet. I do have a large army 1 year of travel away from Rome (maybe 2 days because the way is blocked by some Papal units). I just haven't found the time all week to actually go and take Rome (having kids really cuts into your gaming time guys...)
I really enjoyed this campaign though it is a shame I didn't put more emphasis on teching up because I didn't really get a chance to use the top tier units yet, and using them now seems kind of pointless, since I have in essence already won. I used the mounted crossbowmen once but they failed to kill the English king before the battle was almost over, so they weren't that useful. I haven't yet used arquebusiers, gothic knights or Reiters, so that is a lot of potential still untapped.
Probably I should redo the HRE on a harder level but I am just itching to try a new faction now, probably the Danes or Hungarians.

Egypt, Spain, England
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
hre, scots, turks, moors, sicilians, french
atm byzantine
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
I always feel bad when i reach the limit of their real expansion, going anywhere else seems stupid unless i can think of some kind of excuse like trying to remake the Roman empire as Byzantium.

Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
Only one, as HRE (and in only 60 turns).
Right now I have campaigns going as France, HRE, Milan, Hungary, Venice, Scotland and Poland. I’ve had a hard time deciding who to specialize in!
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
0, played as England and Byz. Shelved the game due to bugs and balance problems shortly after 1.1. patch. Looks like the 1.2 patch may help fix many of these, at least hopefully.

Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
1 as england. Currently playing as Sicily. Ended up blitzing a few territories off the start. Took Durazzo and Cagliari within a turn or two, ended up getting several units of troops (as rewards from the council of nobles) which sent my budget into the negatives. I received 4 units of Mailed Knights which increased my expenses by 1000 florins!. Since there was no way to rebalance the budget without disbanding the new troops, I utilized those new troops and several others to quickly take Ajuccio and Florence. When I have the troops prepared, I have eyes on Tunis and then off to Timbuktu for lots of gold.
On the dipomacy scene, the princess blitzed Italy to get trade agreements and alliances with the Pope, HRE, Venice and Milan.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
Finished my first one as England just the other night. I was using a combination of Ultimate AI/M2TW Lite and Darth's battle formations mods, so waiting on patch 1.2 before I start another one so I can play a vanilla game with all the fixes promised to see how it plays out. Probably will play as England again just to compare vanilla 1.2 with 1.1 modded version I was using.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
One, as Egypt.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
7 total, England, France, Milan, Sicily, Turks, Spain, and Denmark. Blitz through all of them pretty fast. Working on my Russian campaign now.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
Byzantines first game, then Spain second game, then Venice third game. Stopped playing then until the second patch. Thinking of England for game 4.

Haven´t ever finished a campaign and I probably never will. The long camp requirements are ridiculous: "take XX provinces" etc etc, bah! Like the only measurement of a successful kingdom/ empire is conquest?! The short camp rec are too easy though. And it´s always about destroying factions, personally I don´t like it.
I roleplay my games hardcore and when my objectives are met I quit. Usually I´m done in 100-150 turns. I´ve never played with cannons and muskets since I´m done with the game before that. I miss eras, glorious achievements and the ability to play this game with a more cultural feeling.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
I'm not able to vote, but to date I've only finished one campaign as England (VH/VH). I'm currently about 30 moves into Egypt on VH/VH.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
Don't like destroying factions? TW Heresy!
I often play past the end of the game to destroy factions who really deserve it.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
That´s me & the Romans in RTW [sorry about the hi-jack]....I always hunt them down....wherever i may find them.

Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
Actually not a singe one=) I couldn't agree more with you Mithradates. I always have a problem with finishing long campaigns too because scenarios like the Scottish invading Turkey etc seems to me too unrealistic and not exactly historical correct. Which is the way I like it, at least almost
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
I blitz everytime so I finish long campaigns quite quickly. Milan, Denmark, Hungary, Venice, Portugal, Spain, Sicily, Poland, HRE, Turks, and Byz Empire which is 11 i believe

Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
I am not allowed to vote. But finished as Turks, England, Spain, Russia and Denmark so far.
Re: How many Long Campaigns have you won?
i clicked 2 to 4, but as i now recall it is probably more like 6. i to tend to start alot of campaigns and then give up when i have no more challenging enemies.
because of the crazy ai it eventually becomes very hard to avoid crushing your neighbours
