Once the mongols are gone however? Well Denmark, Norway ,Scotland and ENgland can kiss their nations bye bye and then the rest of Europe follows.Īs lithuania the strategy you need to remember is that doomstacks of militia work if you're desperate but the religious troops are to never be forgotten. I love to help them because if they're strong enough to resist fatimids advances then when the mongols come and exterminate anything in their paths then the Mongols will find some heavilly fortified and experienced armies to slog through

Until the mongols are gone I will not make any offensive against catholics, probably help keep the Byzantine AI from killing itself because I swear it once had 2 full stacks on Rhodes, no ships and got themselves kicked from Adana all the way to Iconium by the fatimids. Indeed my strategy with Lithuania is to basically conquer ALL nearby rebels, ally with Poland ASAP, get the pope enough bribes to swim in gold and the exterminate anything west of me. They also get some neat units from their religious buildings. Lithuania has a lot of room to expand and easy neighbours to kill in the east. It might be my bias against catholicism but I'll go with the Byzantine Empire and Lithuania The Moors I took out with a crusade to Cordoba and stacks of spear and crossbow militias. In my current game, I've destroyed Sicily, Venice, Aragon, Castille, Portugal and most of the HRe and France this way, always responding to an attack instead of being the aggressor. The attacking faction usually gets excommunicated quickly and as a friend of the Papacy, you get to go take some castles from them and even an extra settlement in exchange for peace afterwards. Urban spear and crossbow militia can fight off most sieges easily. Quite soon, one of the close factions, usually Sicily, Venice or the HRE, come and attack you. Toulouse is best, if you can beat Aragon to it, otherwise Lyon.Īfter taking any available nearby rebel settlements, I wait and build up my economy and train spies and assassins. Make an army of just spear and crossbow militia or even just spears and go take a castle. Not long after that, with your first city watch upgrade, you'll get urban crossbow militia, which again outclasses almost every other faction and chews through armored units better than archers.

They're cheap, available in all of your settlements and can beat up even on everything at first. The base militia unit for Genoa, the urban spear militia, outclasses most faction starting units including castle units, except for Venice. Genoa has the best starting favor with the Pope, so he'll agree easily. I make an alliance with the Papacy as soon as possible to help forestall them. It can be a bit dangerous, at first, with Venice, the HRE and Sicily close and looking to expand. Even that is survivable and thus exciting. They're all fun in some way, except Kwarezm, which can suck if you hate getting your butt kicked by the Mongols early. I don't know if there really is a "best" faction.
