    Default Blitzkrieg Challenge

    First, a question:
    How do you snap screenshots and then post them on this forum?

    Second, the challenge:

    How quickly can you capture 50 regions, in turn numbers?
    How quickly can you capture 100 regions?

    Example: In my French campaign I have captured 105 regions (as I recall) by turn 56, that is, all of the old world. (except for Rome, to prevent excommunication.
    Here is the link. By the way, check out my faction leader's Dread rating.
    Note also the high chivalry ratings of most of my family. Game begins on turn 57.

    Feel free to comment on the file, answer my snapshot question, or ask me any questions.

    There was a campaign animated .gif of a guy playing the HRE and winning the 45 provinces grand campaign in something like 10 turns a couple of weeks back
    Anything wrong ? Blame it on me. I'm the French.

    HRE is easy though. Try as Russia. You'll take forever, especially because your early troops are no good against Poles and Byzantines and you get to walk for a long time to get anywhere. Besides, eastern horse charges are very weak.

    Hardest to finish long campaign IMO would be either Scots or Russian or Egyptian due to their relative inability to expand in more than one direction easily. Easiest would be any of the Italian factions, HRE, Byzan Empire, or Hungary

    I can attest to that. In my current Russian campaign, it looks like I have obtained more than a quarter of the known world but I haven't even cleared 30 provinces under my control yet...
