Who's still playing?

I want to finish up my very old Swiss campaign (the race to 60% or 1453), but RL is killing my gaming time. I got a couple of turns in a few weeks ago, but it's all big battles from here on out and getting the blocks of time necessary is tough. Once done with that I will probably try Caravel.

Banks! Be Swiss! Use banks to fund Swiss Armored Pikemen.

Ironically, money has been so tight in this campaign, the Swiss can barely rub two florins together. Poor lands, no trade, constant warfare. I don't even have Switzlerland teched up to SAPs.

Expand? Just take a nearby province and raid of all the buildings for the money.

I just started a Kiev campaign in early (BKB Super Mod). I'm toying with the idea of doing an AAR. Would it be better to post it in here? I notice the Mead Hall doesn't seem to get much traffic.

We would welcome it here in the Main Hall.

It's 1426 and I have 39 provinces. It's a blitz rush at this point to get to 60%, can't afford to strip down a province when I have to expand so quickly, and can't give up provinces I take.

Hi

Caravel Mod v2.1, English, Early, Hard. It's 1336 (or thereabouts), and I've got 40-ish provinces. I've only recently got to the point where I have the financial muscle to really start blitzing but, trust me, money is still tight, and all build decisions have to get past several value-for-money committees before receiving the King's approval. My first (and only) level 5 castle only completed a few years ago.

Am in the process of giving the Egyptians a lesson in the strategic application of military assets (naval invasion of Greece to be specific). But it's been a long, hard fight. No kidding. It took me a couple of decades to evict them from Iberia, not least because I couldn't maintain naval superiority to interdict their flow of Saracen Infantry, Ghazis, Desert Archers and Ghulams. There were a couple of close run battles, and at one point I had to abandon Cordoba in the face of 3-1 odds and a superior general. Earlier there was the chevauchée from Portugal to Navarre 'cos I was going to get my @r$e kicked if I tried holding on in the face of continuous rebellions plus probable Egyptian attack.

It's a great campaign. Thank you Gollum and co.

Best regards

I will be playing MTW in the retirement home, that's for sure! Nice to see that it's still going strong.
