I think that people would post more comments here if somebody fixed the broken link from the game description/review page.
This is a fantastic game but I really just cannot beat that first campaign to unlock the 4th campaign! Any strategy tips for me? I've looked online and only found SNES game tips, and not very useful at that.
I know I have until 1245 to do it, and I never be too ambitious, as it leaves me unprotected- but the Naimans (orange, from the left side of the board) constantly take over half of the land before I have 3-4 territories... the problem is I never have enough troops to defend my other territories when I attack another province.
I've beaten the game as the Capetians, that was a lot of fun. I'm halfway through a game as the Ghore Sultanate, which is also a lot of fun, though much more challenging!

Simple--play as the Naimans. That's how I did it. I'm working right now on conquering Mongolia as Temujin, so the other solution would be to contact me and maybe I can send you a save game or something.

It has something no other game has: your character gets old, dies and is replaced by a son. So I played it from year 1200 to year 2100 (yes nine centuries) just to see how my dinasty advances:
Example:
Catriel, Isidoro, Catriel II, Ivan, Catriel III, Ivan II, Alex, Alex II, Catriel IV ... and so on...

It was funny to see my family is always japanese even when they have lived 500 years in Egypt and the wives are always arabic.




I have made a chart with the prices of goods buy/sell and each of the merchants. So any time I have 2 merchants in my territory I can make loads of money. Example: buy silk to the chinese and sell it to the venetian, use the money to buy silk again...

I realize it's been a year since anyone's posted here, but...in case anyone else should come by I thought I'd post this:

I recently created a fan site for this game, which you might find worthwhile. It has some some pointers, and helpful extras such as the game manual.
