    For my part, I would sack 80% of the time to keep cash coming, occupy when there is no money to gain and I can't remember any time where I have exterminated...

    Sometimes, if I've taken a province that has no real strategic value to me (as being stranded after a crusade ends somewhere in turkey or other...) I would sack, destroy all that can be destroyed and then give the region to get any diplomatic advantage or in exchange for a more useful province (the cash from the sacking and destruction of building can then be really handy...) Moreover it let the accpting faction with a city that will nedd a lot of investments to become useful or might even revolt and be good to be taken once more...

    I sack nearly all the times, exterminate if the city has rebelled and occupy if I take back a city that was lost to enemy forces.

    If you are regaining a lost city/region.....I recommend occupy.

    If you are taking a large enemy City.........SACK IT.

    Small to medium enemy city that you have invested time with your religious folks in converting the population accordingly.....occupy.

    If longway for your capital.......SACK it.

    huge city.....long way from home....hated vermin enemy scum.........KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL, god will recongise his own.

    I always exterminate each time I lay my hands on a Huge city. If not..

    Red face = KILL
    Yellow = sack
    Green = KILL if it's HRE but normally leave alone

    Nifty idea, thanks.

    As an update, things are going much better. I’ve decided to ignore the French assassins and just add a couple more spies. I boxed in the inquisitor and got rid of him.
    I’ve taken a couple more French settlements and managed to convince the pope to call a crusade on Marseilles, though right before my full crusading army of cavalry, mortars, and culverins arrived the pope died and the new pope decided to call of the crusade- doh! So now that army is just hanging out on a hill outside of Marseilles waiting until I can manage another crusade to be called against Marseilles or until I get bored and I just try to rush the last 3-4 French settlements.
    Denmark decided to attack me, five times now, but they only do so at Antwerp, and my 5 mortars there often cause their army of mostly heavy infantry (6-7 units) to retreat before I even release my cavalry on them.

    I almost always sack, for the money. I would have thought extermination would entail more thorough pillaging and hence more money, but for whatever reason it doesn't.
