History Geek:

I actually find it tedious to play all the way to 1453, and make some "home rules" instead. If I for instance play an early campaign I only go on 'till 1205, and *have* to lead in GA to win. This gives an extra challenge.""
King Kurt:
" I always play GA - it gives such a better feel to the game. If you then add a few more home rules like not attacking anybody from your own religion unless they attack you first, then you get a far more challenging game. I tend to play until I am getting the you have the highest income/ biggest army messages on a regular basis. I normaly then set myself some short term goals or role play a situation to finish the campaign off. Once you get to a certain critical mass, I think you are certain to win. GA points give you a good cross measure on this."


This is a very interesting thread, and not only for the two posts above.I ve also switched to GA but only in MTW/VI.

I love the home rules idea, and I was tending that way myself.

Im also experimenting with the role playing potential in the game.
