Occupy, Sack or Exterminate - Which do you do most often.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Fear me, for I choose exterminate.

Oh sure, on blitz runs and in the early game I tend to sack. But ultimately I end up exterminating due to public order concerns, and my lack of any desire to put garrisons in cities.

Sometimes I sack, let it rebel, and then return and exterminate. Either way, I end up hitting the exterminate button over 50% of the time. I get half as many florins, but that's usually enough after I've sacked a major city or two.

The larger my empire gets, the more people end up crucified. When it comes to this game, I do not take prisoners.
