Honestly, at everything set to max difficulty and battle size of 200, I'm piddling at day 880 because I don't want to curbstomp everyone this soon. I massacred the Swadians really early (Defected with Dhirim and a castle) and recruited half of their lords, and then beat the Sarranids back to one city. I am fully confident that I could have the map conquered by day 1100 or so if I threw my butt in gear.
On a related note, anyone have a mod that increases difficulty?

Ie., you win the early battles, setup and defend, expand, and then finishing the game becomes a process of just rolling downhill, which isn't nearly as fun as the uphill climb. As a result, I almost NEVER win these types of games or play them to completion - I always restart to get a different challenge going
I beat Total War: Medieval 2, longest downhill ever. It was sooooooo boooring, however i had told my friend that I should lay it all under England; and so I did. Worst piece of **** I have ever played (except for some History Chanel Civil War bull****) After you have taken out Scotland and France you are in no reel danger.
Sort of like in real life. M2TW is a fantastic game, play as someone not on an island and you're in for a different experience. Also bear in mind that you should be playing on at least Hard (if not very hard) for a good time. There are countless fantastic mods and some great gameplay mechanics... if you really feel this game was that bad I don't know what to tell you.
I loved Rome: Total War, there the factions had reel differences and battle was better. In Rome I and my enemy clashed together, usually in a strait line. In M2TW the enemy runs at me, and turn around, over and over and over again... And my game always crashed in battle against the Timurid, so I had to use auto battle, and that sucks. My friend shoved me Empire: Total War and there the line battles were more like line executions. Your enemy advances (never in a line), Get shot two times before they can shot back, but usually they retreats before that. And then comes the next group. He always ended up at a loss kill ratio at about 70-1200, defending or attacking, the same result. However, close combat was beautiful, so I'm hoping for a good Shogun 2.
But I give you one thing: yes, you are correct. It is Medieval 2: Total War and not Total War: Medieval 2, I stand corrected.
And back to topic:
I have never gotten further than day ~550, and taken a few castlels as a vasal. There is a lot of nasty rumoers of a byggy kingdom future. I also think the game needs more to if you are playing a solo game without an army.
