Cheezy, what difficulty are you playing with as Rome?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I'm not Rome, I'm the Germanic Tribes. And I'm on Hard Campign, Hard Battles.

 

[Civfan333]

that's the only way to go! HARD but not very hard......

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Muslim Pope oh noes!

 

[Dreadnought]

That's a pretty nice empire you have going there.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Yep. With the Egyptians gone (they never even got to score, I killed them before 1100 ), and the Almohads pretty much sucking, I'm the object of Christian hatred. I got tired of the Pope calling for Crusades on me (even though none were launched) and the Italians throwing their huge armies around the Mediterranean (they chased me from Algeria to The Sinai a few years ago, no thanks to their alliance with the Almohads who's butt I was busy kicking), so I solved two problems at once. That, and my new alliance with the Hungarians, the final capitulation of the Byzantine Empire, and a growing fleet of Baggalas, have cemented internal security in the great Ottoman Empire for years to come. As far as I know, the Hungarians were the ones who killed the Polish, and though I've had no look at Western Europe's political situation yet, guessing as there have been no Crusades launched and it's AD 1155, I think they're busier fighting amongst eachother than they are worrying about me. If I wanted to, I could crank my army engine into high gear and probably win before 1204, but I want to have fun, and I never get to build the damn Janissaries because I win too fast with the Turks, so I'm pacing myself.

In the mean time, though, Italy, Rome, and the Pope, are mine to corrupt Islamify.

 

[Dreadnought]

I guess you are going to hit Spain next?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I don't think I will kill the Almohads, but rather take Morocco and Grenada, and keep Cordoba theirs (maybe get an alliance with them so I can save them if need be) as a buffer between Spain and myself. I have already begun war with the rebel provinces of the steppe (there are some very large rebel armies there; I'm buying what I can, and killing the rest).

Behold, the great William Wallace!

 

[Civfan333]

What faction is that?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

The Scots. It's a mod for MTW called MTW XL.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

The "Glorious" English Empire.

The "Glorious" English Empire.

Jeez, what happened there?

 

[SirLamphead]

Looks like the Spanish totally owned. Not surprising, I used to play as France quite often and then after conquering England and the Holy land the Spanish came. They usually got as far as Burgundy before I could beat them back to Cyrenica. The jinetes were a big thorn in my side.

Funny, most of the times when I played MTW, the Spanish never amounted to much.... The Danes often got out of hand though, those seafaring, expansionistic bastards...

Complete opposite with me. I usually wiped the English off the continent and if they persisted in fighting and the Pope didn't care, I would go ahead and take Britain.
I assume the Spanish in my game got so powerful after taking Cordoba which is an automatic castle at game start. The Almohomads quickly perrish then the Spanish build up, overwlem Aragon and straight into Aquitaine or Toulose they go!

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Its also worth noting that I originally took Toulouse, Aquitaine, Provence, Savoy, and Aragon from the Aragonese.

Are you freaking serious? As the French? With their calvary choices?

Jesus god.
