Next campaign try on hard or very hard.

Very good.

Its also important to bring up that I would often fight battles in excess of 5000 men.

For the first 40 turns I was fighting for mere survival - I fought every single battle in person. Once I got my doomstacks ready, I started to autoresolve more and more once the odds were in my favor.

Are you fighting the battles or auto resolving?

The Iberian Peninsula is owned by my allies, the Almohad Caliphate and the Hafsid Caliphate. Interesting turn of events where France's religious enemies turn out to be its most helpful friends.

What faction owns Spain?

Thank you. You have done such an awesome job with your mod! I have already spent at least 50 hours on this campaign.

WOW nice empire.
