Well, I feel like ending my post here, but I think I should elaborate more.

After pummeling the Milanese to 2 provinces, I gave them back one of their provinces and paid tribute to make them my vassals. I then retired back to Iberia to replenish my forces and prepare for a nice crusade. What I didn't expect was to receive large piles of money every turn from my now rich vassal Spain. Previously the yearly tribute had all but evaporated. I could not spend all that money, as the income was rather erratic, and I thought it wouldn't be prudent to build a vast army.

Anyway, I'll admit I lost my stamina for this campaign, so for the Egyptians and Turks, instead of crushing them into servitude like a usually do, I put my vast fortune to some use. So, Victory! Huzzah!

Vassals: Moors, Spain, Milan, Egypt, Turkey

Destroyed Factions: France (by Rebels )

Incomplete meta-goals: New World, gunpowder, crush Mongols and Timurids (though the Mongols arrived in 1192, unfortunately or fortunately, they went off to Russia)

P.S. My current Faction Leader is like some insane god of war. He's got around 18 command stars.
