    4. No diplomatic relations with any faction from start of game

    special rule number 4a for super intellectuals: obtain Mason guild headquarters till turn 500.

    5. enjoy your immortality !


    Sounds like a fairly easy challenge for Egypt. I mean seriously, don't they do that anyway?

    That's easy enough; you can take out the papacy on turn 3 or 4 as milan (add another 10 turns to kill off the popes for good if you want to go that way), and from there the rest of the goals are just a matter of time

    What i meant is you will be at war with all other factions from start, no relations mean no money, extermination mean no money from taking city and low tax income, you need money and time to take religion capitals and build churches there, and you will NEVER get mason guild headquarters.

    well I know another rule to making it impoissible: don't recruit any units, build any buildings, move any troops or fight any battles. Also use the console to give alll other factions infinite money and about 30 full triple gold stacks of their best men.

    Is it even possible to completely wipe out the Papal States? According to the manual, the Papal States can never be destroyed, should you take their capital, they'll just settle in another place in another faction's domain.

    (Exterminating populace? What's wrong with that? I often do this when I see that big red frown on the city.)

    Nothing wrong. This packet of rules is just a simple way to get a game challenge you somehow, without any mod or rebalance or house rules etc. Many complains about dumb AI brought me an idea: only way to find playing vs dumb AI challenging is to play dumb.

    And that does sound too dumb and blunt for my liking.

    Well said Ferret, sounds about as much fun.

    I have a challenge for you. No playing stupid required.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The challenge is very simple. I've heard many say it's easy, I haven't seen anyone accomplish the task.

    Take all 108 provinces by turn 58.

    No house rules. No cheat codes. No mods.

    Post the proof. Join the elite. I'm getting lonely over here.

    If you want a challenge, there it is. Pick your faction wisely.

    Hint: It's been done with both France and England. If you even come close by turn 60, I'd like to see it. Don't forget Arguin, Dongola, and all the other worthless provinces. They count.

    Yeah, something like this, including " Dont buy next TW game" until they use Shogun engine.
