I am playing the short medium mode.
To win I need to:
Take 15 Regions
Eliminate France
Eliminate Scotland
I started out with:
London
Nottingham
Caen
I thought to take te ENglish Isles first so I moved north and captured York from Rebels. Later I moved up again and I fought and took land from Scotland (forgot its name).
I moved north againa dn captured Eddinsburg from the Scotlands, after many fierce battles.
I finally moved North one last time and took their last city.
Scotland was eliminated.
France had started to attack my lands in Proper-Europe.
I responded by attacking, and chased them away.
However, I must eliminate them so I fought them and tok Angers from them, and I took a city from rebels.
I took another city from the French too.
I captured Dublin (In current day Irealnd) and captured the last rebel settlement in the English Isles. The English Isles are is all under my control now.
The French had many allies, and so now there is tension between me and them.
Milan, ally of France, started attacking me. I attacked them back.
I have the most land than any other faction.
Tomoorow I am planning to capture Paris.
Also so far I got excommunicated twice. And reconciled twice.
Every time I was about to destory scotland or attack France, the Pope always threatned to excommunicate me.
Also there was a crusade but I didn't join. The Crusaders from Venice won and took control of Acre from Egypt.
I only have Venice as an ally.
