Catalonia convinced me to join her war against Lombardy, because that allowed me to snatch territories. Lombardy has many more soldiers and at first they set for my capital, but when I garrisoned it a little they chose to attack Catalonia instead. To be honest the Catalonian resistance against several major powers was heroic, and they held out very long. Finally they have been annexed by Cordoba.

From Lombardy I have taken all the French provinces (more like Gaulish ones LOL, France is now one province thanks to Germany), Corsica, Sardinia and one in Italy. They're closing on my ridiculously few troops, if they don't accept a white peace (keeping what I easily conquered) I'll let them keep one of the provinces.

Now I'm a major kingdom and the little ones love/fear me (I have married my two princes), but the most powerful ones hate me. I wanted to be on good terms with Cordoba but now they hate me, Germany has threatened war several times without declaring it. I want to develop and raise my power so I can fight later on my own terms.

In this game territories can change hands way too easily. All these wars have been fought in very little time and everyone is still using peasants only!

I also like the Healer marshal skill, negating more than two thirds of your casualties is like cheating. And then leadership and dread.
