Stronger Player - Turtle vs. Hare

[Askthepizzaguy]

Turn 16?!?! When did that happen? I thought it was Turn 18. I'd love to see the post and screenies.

SQ: Is 108 every province?

You have inspired me to take on the challenge. It might take me a month to rework my style but I am up for it. I thought I was pretty damn spiffy doing the short campaign in 13 turns so I obviously have some work to do Unfortunately commuting and working 48 hours severely cuts into playing time. Gah, and my boss asked me if I wanted 4 or 5 days next week and I said 5. WHY!?!?!

This is the screenshot of the finished product. Since the entire campaign was brief, predictable slash and burn, I felt it didn't need a thread of it's own.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

So, how is it going?

I managed 50 provinces by turn 16, but I forgot to take Rome, so it doesn't count.
The proof is here in the save file.

Although, theoretically I could still take Rome and beat the 20 turns... but I don't see the point.
I still have all the save files from each turn, so if anyone wants to see this turn by turn, I can send you a link.

Having taken over the known world using Catholics, Muslims, and Orthodox factions, I have since switched to Lands to Conquer. My current quest is the Danes, on VH/VH, and so far I've decimated the HRE, France, Portugal, Moors, and I'm only on turn 15 or so. This is very difficult to do as the Danes, given their sole starting province, isolated starting location, strong neighbors, poor economy, and on LTC anything outside of the middle of Europe earns you practically no income, plus there are public order penalties.

The fight goes well. Thus far, the biggest threats to my power are England (Which I just backstabbed), France (Which is already crippled), Venice (which I repulsed using town milita), the Holy Roman Empire (which is almost completely destroyed). I plan on taking all of France, Spain, and the British Isles while harassing northern Italy, then I will head east into Poland, Hungary, and Russia. Spain is in the process of being conquered, Portugal is already destroyed, the Moors are crippled and helpless, and I've too many troops for England to counterattack me.

Anyone interested in a LTC Danish thread with screenshots? I think you might find it pretty sweet.
Sorry, off-topic. Back to topic.

And yes, 108 provinces is the total number for the Old world. This does not include the Americas because it is impossible to blitz there. So it's fairly pointless to wait until you can.
