    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

    Don't like destroying factions? TW Heresy!

    I often play past the end of the game to destroy factions who really deserve it.

    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

    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

    I've only completed one long campaign, as the romans (byzantine empire) while all my other games have been short campaigns, because I find it to be unrealistic for Scotland or any of the small factions to conquer all of Europe.

    I am playing the Turks on a long compaign right now, though..

    Hello! I've finished 3 long campains: the scots, the spanish and the danes. I'm now working on my fourth with the hungarians.
    BTW? Is there a mod wich contains my factions (romanians)?
    P.S. How can I vote in this poll?

    I'm currently trying to complete one as the French. They are proving more of a challenge than the Spanish.

    Milan. Still playing as them. 1083AD (I take ages on turns, and also have work to be getting on with).

    My ally, the Pope, loves me. My Cardinal is the top Preferati too. Milan, Genoa and Florence are under my finger. And soon, Ajaccio...
    I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

    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...

    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.

    it gets boring to me, i did it with egypt, after that i start a game, get 100 turns in and just get bored

    the endless need to take every crappy little backwater faction and village within 45 provinces around you loses its appeal quickly

    we just did this same thing with rome, and did it with more options <GA> in the old mtw...what happened to being creative

    I have won with almost all fractions, haven't played yet with Venice, Russia and Hungary. Tried with Moors but gave up because didn't like their units -they are ok at the begining but in late period are week. I'm playing H/H. The easiest campaigns were with England, HRE and Scotland, the most difficult - France and Milan. Now I'm playing Egypt and it's going well so far - fighting with Mongols in Antioh region.

    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.
