Imperial urge

[Selenus Marcus]

hey all, I was wondering if any of you experience this: while I'm playing M2 I often find myself setting a limit to my conquests, such as when playing as Russia I unite Russia (as much as possible to what it is like today border wise) and then I have no urge to go further, rather I just like battling for fun. does anyone have a remedy for that? XD where as in R:TW I'd have fun squashing one faction after the other, I didn't really like the vanilla, so I downloaded Roma Surrectum and loved the united Romans, and I quickly smashed all my enemies laying siege to every city in areas like Gaul and the Balkans all at once (yay massive territorial gain) but getting back on topic, I've had a serious problem with that M2 border thing, except with Milan, I took France, Italy (and it's isles) as well as the HRE's lands. and then pretty much halted. but what annoys me is not knowing how to get such plate mail units like Famiglia Ducale, or the Czar's Gaurd. can anyone help?

Czar's Guard is available in the highest stables in the castle. Famiglia ducale is available from the highest governor building (I think)

[Selenus Marcus]

thanks, what's the highest castle stable called? Baron's stables?

[Rhyfelwyr]

I think you get an Earl's Stables after that, and finally a King's Stables. You can see all of this in the building browser, I think it also lists what units each building trains.

[Selenus Marcus]

same for the Byzantine Kataphractoi?

[Czar Alexsandr]

same for the Byzantine Kataphractoi?

Yes. The Byzantine Kataphraktoi needs the last stable in the stables line of buildings. The King's Stables. (In Islamic factions it's the Caliph's Stables.) Which is of course after Baron's and after Earl's.

You said you get tired after reconquering a nations historical borders? ^_^ Why not try the Moors or the Byzantines! At one time the Moors controled the mighty Arab empire which spanned from France to Egypt! Or the Byzantine Empire, which at it's height spanned all the way through the holy land an to Alexandria. (Captured mostly by the great general Belesarus.) The Byzantines are also the left overs of the Roman Empire, why not re-conquer the Roman Empire? That would make a fun and sometimes challenging game due to Byzantium's mostly outdated units. Or even the Holy Roman Empire? The Holy Roman Empire one time consisted of all of France, most of northren Italy, and modren Germany. In the old medival I had a fun game conquering the world as England. (Trying to outdo their latter accomplishments of the victorian time period.) In my Russian game in the first Medival I acctually tired to conquer the Soviet Union territories in the medival age, oh how fun was that... And even now in the new game I'm doing something simmilar. (I've got most of the Soviet territories in my current game.) Just some suggestions!

Or.. you could make an empire greater than any that came before it with.... SCOTLAND!!! Lol. Or Portugal or Sicily. Should be fun. ^_^
