Actually yuanzhong you probably already found the best nation to speedrun (or you probably auto  ) for chain armor? Pls share you choice if it is so 😆 Kingdom of Thuringia (10 compasses for reset) |

Pls share you choice if it is so 😆 I think Suebian kingdom is a pretty straightforward one (16 compasses to reset). I played virtually without diplomacy since no-one will bother to kill Avars anyway. I haven't played it as Turingia yet, but I think Suebi have a better starting position. And it is relatively easy to manage.  |

Yup, I just finished Ottoman this morning. Many things I noticed which I will add to the guide: 1. I was going for Eastern Empire, meaning I needed Nicosia, which sadly slipped over and Karaman got it, so I had to defeat Karaman (easy as their capital is quite exposed as Ottoman), and Aq Qoyunlu joined immediately after... making things way harder as this invader is no joke and Ottoman struggles with population to fight properly in all frontiers. 2. Defeating the golden general who is in lead from crusaders halves the morale of all of the other crusaders. 3. Constantinople is a ***, every two attacks, it recovered 420 hp. Up to some turn in which it no longer did (I think it was until the Constantine dialogue triggered, which I noticed its just a Byzantine morale boost, but thats it) 4. Turn 13, Vlad will do a speech and Wallachia will turn against you. I was allies with them (and bribed so that they joined against Hungary) and luckily, this just reset them to 0, which I could bribe easily again for peace so that they'll keep on focusing on Hungary. 5. Turn 14, Moldavia has the speech, and becomes allies with Wallachia, but they will not share the same enemies as I thought. i think you need to attack constantinopel in the same years as it should have fallen,wait until years 1453 (maybe, but when i attack it at 1453 it never regen again) |

i have rechallenge a conquest with 81 pts in downfall of eastern roman empire.

therefore in every challenge pts its 20
and finishing hegemony is 70.

Do Challenges in different maps give you same honor points? Is 80 point challenge from barbarian invasion = century of iron? And are the difficulty level (stars) important in HoC from challenge?

And are the difficulty level (stars) important in HoC from challenge? yes, they have same points regardless of map. barbarian invasion = century of iron difficulty level(stars) indicate difficulty of map:easy(3 star) mediumm(2 star) hard(1 star), important as you prepare to start with weak economy(1-3 cities) and small units in 1 star=hard. but it didn't much if you have high level/talent units |

I have played as Franks and WRE, Both 80 pts challenge. Frank run gave me 420 honor points while WRE gave me only 105? Beside their stars(yes I am aware of the difficulty difference) why I have end up with such different honor points?
I have played Frank challenge after regular hegemony run. Same for the WRE but I used a reset on challenge? Idk if that matters but beside star difference thats the only thing I can suspect of.

I have played as burgundians as well now which is classified as 'hard' similar to franks (dispite star difference) and got 420 points again? I have used reset on challenge as well so repetition is not a concern. Only thing to explain that big difference is now the difficulty i think? Please let me know how many points you get from a 80 pts challenge with WRE.

Please let me know how many points you get from a 80 pts challenge with WRE. im afraid to try WRE. if i remember someone also said WRE is 70pts after reset. it must be a bug.or ET makes it do discourage from speedrunning.(using WRE is known as farming in conquest) franks having 2 star gives 420pts means my conclusion is right. if my guess is right you have charlemagne. which gives 1.5 merits to everything. like finishing a conquest challenge 80 is 280*1.5=420 for hegomony win(no challenge) 70*1.5=105 |

Yes I have Charlemagne and thats why I didnt mind the difference btw 280 and 420 but btw the WRE and the rest. If this is known then it is all good. Thanks for the heads up.
Conquest farming is not fun at all but we do it anyways. As a result i think one of the goths in barbarian invasion is best for repeated challenge runs.

Downfall of Byzantium:
Are Byzantium, Morea and Epirus in an alliance which draws each other into wars together?
Same goes for other alliances.
I turned Vlad III's Wallachia neutral again, after 3 turns of hostilities. Anyone taking bets on whether Constantinople will fall to my hands or theirs?
Also, when Stephen the Great ascends the Moldavian throne or Vlad III takes the Wallachian throne, Moldavian relations with the Ottoman Empire takes a hit. I know because we weren't supposed to be near 0.

I know because we weren't supposed to be near 0. i dont think its a forceful alliance. Yes its vlad announcing hostilities, diplomacy drops. Unless you are playing 80 challenge i have no doubt youll manage to get constantinople 😉 |

Additionally,the 7 Genoese reinforcements spawn at the start of Turn 24 even if the Aq Quoyunlu lands are left untouched.
Each legion contains at least one Genoese Shielded Crossbowman so beware their mobility.
They have a gen with Medical Mastery and the recruitment discount skill.
