Finished off the Turks in 10 turns exactly:



I just took Nicosia and Caesarea and the other Turkish cities rebelled LOL.

I expanded...



...like a boss!

Factions came from around the world to become my allies. (Russians and Venice)

Byzantines are pissed at my expansion but they can't do anything about it. The Mongols seem to be scared of attacking me...they are still wandering around.

British caught Cairo in a crusade, and I took it back.

I started attacking the Byzantines...captured the island of Cyprus from them.

i do the opposite .. start wars with random niggas

Hungary is an ally of the Byzantines though, so I think I'll have to go for them immediately after the Byzantines.

eliminate them ... they're active in the crusades (which are a joke but still)

but do you also find crusader armies to be rather easy to eliminate? i mean after their general dies they always run off

I let them take the city peacefully, by getting my troops out of the city.

Conquered Constantinople. And another Byzantine city. Byzantines just have 2 more. Will soon exterminate them from history.

Bastard Poland conquered my two territories that bordered Russia. So I started attacking them and took one of their cities (north of Hungary). Mongols also attacked and took their city of Kiev. I called a Jihad on their capital.

I am mad rich. 60k per turn!!!

60k per turn???

elaborate

Upgraded cities. Built all the trade units...ports, markets, warehouses

no merchant activity?

Nope.

I eliminated the Byzantines. I made my new capital Constantinople.

The Mongols really clashed with the Polish, after they successfully completely the Jihad that I called upon them. The Mongols eventually eliminated the Polish.


Hungary was next. I called a Jihad on their capital. I took all their land, they just have their capital left.

This general is a true general!


He is actually the one who got me most of my European land.


Look at my land and MONEY!!!!!!!! (Per turn 400k)

how are u doing this dude?? don't u have like 20 enemies lol

No. I'm currently fighting with just Hungary. Mongols are also my enemies but I want got weaken them before attacking.

don't touch them dude ... they already have their lands .. just make peace and call a jihad and they'll join

They're me enemies and took a territory from me...eventually we have to clash.

but dude the positioning is so perfect! easy conquest of the rest of europe if they join ... but yeah if they take territories then u have to fight

Guess what...the Mongols became a vassal of HRE.

The Pope called a crusade to take Constantinople...I actually decided to resist. I fought like...no exaggeration...about 20 battles so far with full Crusading armies...I kill them and they come back with more...The crusade is still on, and this is like the 30th turn for it...really holding me back.

HRE took three of my territories...expanding like crazy. I'm going for them now.

It seems that Spain eliminated Portugal.

I fought Hungary for their last city, Budapest:



They got eliminated.

The Timurids have come. They first attacked my city of Mosul. Once they took it the city rebelled against them, and I took it back from the rebels.

Then they went for Antioch and they successfully captured it and made it their capital.



Oh yeah, the Americas got discovered. But I don't have the boat capabilities of failing there yet.

lol thats messed up bro

Mongols are a Muslim faction and far more powerful than the HRE

I guess history repeata itself

According to the faction rating list. HRE is stronger.

wtf? Mongols always have the highest military ranking when they appear whenever I play ...

HRE seems to have surpassed them a bit.

Timurids are capturing my cities in the middle east. I fought two of their armies and took back Aleppo which they are now seiging.

I destroyed the crusade.

It sucks though. I have war on two fronts.

Have fought over that damn city for like 20 turns. Like 30 battles, for that one city. HRE and I are like at a stalemate over it...mad annoying.

In the East, the Timurids are spreading like cancer, but I sent 3 armies from Constantinople to take back the land. They had went as far as taking central Anatolia...scary.

Started like this:


(I was in 120k debt too)

Ended like this:



Come at me son.

Still continuing till I conquer the whole world.

still don't know how u did this dude lol ... is eliminating the Turks THAT important??

Yes, for mainly one reason. If the Mongols or Timurids come and you haven't take Anatolia, then it'll be difficult for you to survive. If you have Anatolia then you could always fight them from two fronts.
