Moor of the Shadows

Just edited my 1st post to make it more clear. You will need LTC 2.30 to view the savegame, all the tips I could guve would be in there so it's easier than writing anyway. LTC also installs apart from your main installation so you can easily install it AND go back to vanilla anytime.

hmm, looks like we share a milliner

I have LTC 2.3 - I'm not going to be playing it for this campaign but I dl'd it to copy Lusted's money script...

it'd be cool to look at your save game, how do I get hold of it?

shuuuuuu b'daq!

bumping my own thread here, but only so I can let you know how I'm getting on...

after about 40 turns I have yet to take a non-rebel settlement - I almost got Lisbon to rebel with 5 of the sultan's best snoopers parked in there, but they must have hired a private eye of their own as they all got kicked out and have really low chances to get back in....so now I'm training a couple of assassins...

I had a Spanish Cardinal parked next to Cordoba for most of the early game which kept my Imams at home and really slowed down my evangelical aspirations..but I feel like it's about to start rolling now..especially as I have trained up some governers and I'm getting trade, mining and farming bonuses.

On the diplomatic side, I am allied with EVERYONE except england, turkey, scotland and russia, and France who I was allied with until they stupidly blockaded my port...so my reputation is reliable, relations are good and no-one sees me coming..

MWUhahahaha

Well, the problem I see with your strat coupled with playing the Moors is that your prime targets will be Spain and Portugal, both of which have their capitals reaaaally close to the rest of their provinces. Spy-induced revolts work better on the outskirts of large empires, where the distance to capital works their way too. In fact, I'm not even sure a capital CAN ever revolt :/

Are you going to post an AAR in the Throne room?

Please do - I'd love to read how you get on.

I suspect that this is going to be a lot tougher to do in MTW2 than it was in STW. Good luck, I'm interested in hearing how you get on.

Hadn't considered that Kobal - but that doesn't have to stop me, I can just leave Spain and Portugal with one province each...

It would be good to know for sure though, so I don't waste my time throwing resources at their capital...anyone got a definitive answer on that?
