Well if you know I have been playing this game a lot and now I have just beat it with the Byzantines. Even though I played a long campaign the time spent on it was short because I ususally don't have total domination until almost the end of the game with about 20-30 turns left, but I finished it with 140 turns left. I played it on medium difficulty, but it was easy since I don't need to do any overseas expansion since I could just conquer my way to Jerusalem and Rome, and I forgot to mention the objectives were hold 45 provinces as usual including Rome and Jerusalem. I only annialated the Venetians, Hungarians, and Turks. Pretty much everyone was my enemy and I only had one ally who was Poland, but they weren't very useful. My empire stretched from Denmark to Constantinople to Egypt and half of Italy. Thanks for reading.
