simple rules to make playing MTW2 impossible

[Askthepizzaguy]

Agreed, playing dumb is no fun at all.

I've been criticized even, for taking every advantage given to me by a weak AI and a loophole-laden game. I simply pushed for maximum efficiency and aimed for maximum number of provinces taken in a minimum time frame.

Popped up with a record of 108 provinces by turn 58.

Did blitz campaigns with Muslims and Orthodoxies.

Whipped Lands to Conquer's rear end.

Now, I'm limiting myself to 10 core provinces and I am liberating the map and turning it over to the rebels. After that, I'll try to do that in record time.

With no crusading, no assassinations, and several other rules too. No sacking, no exterminating, and no garrisons in provinces 11 and up. No priests and no churches recruited/built. On LTC very hard/very hard of course.

Why would you play with anything else? LTC VH/VH means Hurt Me Plenty. I want a challenge, not a limp wristed opponent.
