    What's crazy is Ursa Ryan did basically this same strat totally "legit" on a random okay start and without the age of blood and still managed to get like 20 vassals or so by midgame and just absolutely ran away with the game on the highest difficulty. They probably need to cap the forced marches/reinforcement uses per unit per turn and fix the math so you can't be paid gold to have army, and maybe reduce the amount of healing those raiders get or something. Local reforms lets you giga capital while still spawning a ton of units and taking a ton of vassals. Then if you want some more cities later you can just integrate the best ones whenever. This build can get pretty unhinged.

    It's kinda sad, that they don't fix raiders and warfare abilities at all. All this was in demo, and i finished the game in 40-50 turns on small map.

    From one brit to another, I believe we should rename London into Spifftopia. It's as intricate and elaborate as fine "British" art taken from only the finest French painters and is far less glum than London.
