The English
You start off with an easy target, the French.
First you should build inns at the three provinces at the lower
half of the English lands, in France.
Train Hobilars and Urban milita, by 1901 you should have attacked
the French provinces that you can reach.
Before that you will have to bribe the Welsh army, take them to
Wessex.
They will join the army that will attack Flanders, this battle
should be easy if they decide to fight, not abandon the
province.
Use the Hobilars in two armies, one with 4 units the other with
2-3 units.
The archers should go in the one which you think needs them,
remember use the hobilars to surround them, not directly charge
them (see my hints for this game).
You have to hire mercenaries, without them you probely wont be
able to win all 4 battles, hire all you can.
You should try to capture or kill any French kings or princes you
can, its better to bribe them than fight them.
If you've won all of them battles the French will be in
Champanage.
They will have a big army there and will launch counter-attacks
on Flanders, so attack them first.
That should be the French dealt with, the Germans wont be so
easy, but you can get away with attacking them for quite a while
without being ex-communicated. You shouldn't underestimate them
or overestimate them, just slowly push forward from the north
first, them down.
Make an alliance with the Italians, they will attack the Germans
anyway, but will need help.
You should try to attack there main provinces first then they
will not be able to make enough troops to counter your attacks.
The Danes will be a tempting target now you been warned by the
pope to stop attacking the Germans, but their land is not very
good and are better for trading with.
But the Italians are a good target, so close to the pope and
Milan has stuff to build ships.
A good strategic outpost for your attacks is on the east.
You will not have to do much to destroy the Italians, just do the
same as with the French, attack them at once and when the pope
warms you to stop attacking them you've already done what you had
to do.
From now on it gets hard, you can attack the Spanish, but they
are a buffer against the Almohads what will come in about 4000
troops if you just let them grow stronger.
So now we have to attack north Africa or well be in trouble.
Don't even think about attacking the Byzintines or youll have a
long war on your hands, that wouldn't be so bad if the Almohads
weren't coming in 4000 troops every time then splitting up and
causing havoc trust me).
Now the Spanish and the Almohads would be at war for some time
and the Spanish are probably going to be almost destroyed, this
is when you attack. They will have to do a 2 front war, not so
good as you should be one mean mother now.
You will simply need Chivilic men at arms and knights, if you use
them right, you will be able to drive them out of Spain and
destroy the Spanish and Argonese at once, dont give them time to
recover, take them out when there weak.
Now your probably the strongest team on the map now, so make
alliances and capture constantinople.
Once you have had time to recover, the Byzintines should be at
war with the Turks and the Russians.
They will be no problem.
North Africa will be you target now, from constantinople you can
transport troops to north Africa.
Try to keep ships in all the seas to blockade them if someone
thinks that they should break the alliance. That would be
anonying, but there is practically no-one that can stand up to
you now.
So to complete it, go on an all out offensive - launch every
thing you got at them and get troops from every province, but at
any time don't train peasants they will run away which will make
the rest of your
normal troops want to runaway.
If you want to know any more just go to the hints, I will be
putting alot on there
