Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I never play on anything besides VH VH. What would be the point? Hurt me plenty.
Your biggest differences IMHO were the faction of course (I did 50 provinces by turn 16, myself with the HRE) and the destination of your initial crusade. You chose Antioch with HRE, I chose Cordoba with France/England.
I dont think I made any real mistakes other than the choosing of Cordoba for the crusade. I think if I had chosen HRE and done antioch I would have had more success.
You made the better choices; I feel our blitzing ability is rather even. There's only so much you can do in a single turn, and the maximum with the HRE clearly bests the maximum of England. They start with more and are closer to the Pope.
But again, congrats. I have changed my sig line to reflect your victory.
