2nd Turn:To war, my fellow Danes!
The time has come men! We shall raid this city, then move on the coasts and rule the Baltic Sea! From their we shall conquer the Holy Roman Empire! This city shall add to our strength, supplying troops, add to our wealth, with yet another port under Danish control! It shall make our enemies near it fear us! Our lives are on the climb, and our empire is on a road of glory! Hamburg will be ours, very soon!
We shall attack Hamburg now, my warriors, you shall not be dissapointed by the outcome. We will have plunder and more land! Knights, this is your time! Think of your estates…. they will grow! Think of your servants… their numbers will multiply! Soon we conquer 4 cities of rebels! We will have land and money aplenty! Our armies will the stretched, but we will recruit more! No one can deny the fact the pope backs our cause! All Christians who still believe in the pope will follow us. Danes, this is the beginning of your fame in Europe, you will no longer be ridiculed by the powerful nobles of France or and such strong country. If they err and strike at us while our armies are marched ‘cross the cold lands of Sweden, and possibly Norway, their armies will turn against them and join our cause, both for our honor and money, they fall to our command! You have nothing to fear! No more pesky French diplomats and merchants stealing your hard earned money and food! We shall obliterate any force they send near us! Now, with courage and valor, charge on Hamburg!!!!
We are at their walls! Charge now, I shall overview your success! The battering ram will undoubtedly succeed in bringing down the enemies gates, and our infantry will unleash their power and numbers on the rebels, while the archers and crossbow men do the same to rebel missile units! Then, when they are not expecting, the whole of my bodyguard, and I, will break their lines and send them fleeing to the safety of their town plaza. But, we will not falter and feign victory, we shall pursue these unholy fighters and break their will, and make them serve as our servants for the rest of their unworthy lives.
Ahh, the carnage they have wreaked on our archers… though no doubt their deaths will be repaid, this is a blow to my heart… while I sit and wait for the perfect moment, I have to watch my faithful men fall under enemy arrows, and set alight by the fire the arrows held and their tip. Even now, I am attacking with all my might and fury for the deaths we have experienced this day. Yet, I hope their spirits are watching this battle from their balconies in the skies granting us luck against their enemy. We have passed the gate, and kill all the archers who had slaughtered our missile units so mercilessly.
We are at their plaza! The battle is near it’s end! The victors will be us! Their forces are thinning, and we are gaining yards of land, instead of feets. As always, we have been on the gain, and never lost a inch of land that we gain. This castle is stained with the blood of rebels, our weak, filthy foes. We are winning, I, with renewed strength and courage, and chopping down spear men and archers alike who stand in my way! I can sense victory right out our grasp, and every step I take brings me closer to victory!!
We have captured this land, and will use it wisely! The following is up to you, my loyal knights! Have a good drink and good rest! Later, fellows!

Medieval Denmark 
Not a bad start mate! I’ll be more thorough later, but hm… 1.5 million gold eh? That’s quite alot! =D
Ya didn’t mean to make it bias towards your faction…… sorry most likely this puny little country will go after france or something..
Please don’t take it personally. =)
Of course not! Have fun blasting them away. I’m just chuckling at the fact you’ve managed to secure that much money through ‘illicit’ means ;P Have fun! that’s the whole point! =D
Most likely you’ve noticed I somewhat cheated.. but don’t worry the money from cheat will drain away quickly…. the larger your armies (mine are filled with mercenaries, doubling the cost) the more expensive they are. I’m using about 1000-8000 florins a turn to pay for them… and it’s growing
Please leave your opinion…. This campaign is at “Very Easy” for both campaign and battle difficulty…. do you think I should up the difficultly when I finish the campaign (its at “short” so 13 more cities later ill win the campaign)
Very easy is playing the game with a heavy crutch! Depending upon how confident in your skills you are – I’d recommend the medium difficulty level, or at the most Hard – Very hard is asking for a supreme challenge where your every move counts, especially in the beginning. It can be fun, but harrowing – just look at my blog!
Try upping battle difficulty to very hard, at first. In battle the computer will make you work for your victories and you’ll get better at it – with the adviser on high he can actually give you half decent tactical pointers – and at the very least teach you the important things to consider during battle.
