How do i take over all nations?!

[hrodn88]

Hehe , well yes, I want to be Magnum Rex!

I want to take over the entire world! How can I remove/kill other kings and their warlords or bring them to my side?

Do Moscovite or Polish storyline.

Well, I'm doing the Muscovite storyline. I'm czar as of now. I had several nobles ask me for help, I went with them, but now it's really quiet and the damned Tatars keep taking their fortresses and cities back after I siege them. And my warlords are all backstabbing SOBs who HATE my guts and keep betraying mother Russia and leaving for the Crimean Tatars, Lachs or Sweden. Doing quests for them gives measly 1-2 opinion points or whatever they're called. Should I send a warlord to the place I recently conquered??

Just got another warlord help request, but no ability to further the story. Help...

For the record, it's supposed to be Tartars. In the real world. I wish they would change it. And I didn't know you could become a king!

For the record, I'd much rather be called Tatar than Tartar. I'm 1/4th Tatar from my father's side. My grandmother is a Tatar, but I think she was from the Kazan, not from Crimea, but I'm not sure... need to check up on that.

Also, Tatars call themselves the Republic of Tatarstan within Russia, not Republic of Tartarstan...

so I do not understand where you get the idea to call Tatars Tartars?

Tartar that I know is the sauce, the hardened dental plaque that builds up, not the people. Imho, Tartar is actually the derogatory term for the people Tatar, not the other way around.

Tartar is simply the Western name for the Tatars. It's a synonym, the two mean the exact same in English vernacular. However Tartar is the more commonly used word in Western Europe which is probably what led to him using it. It might be interesting to note that in recieved pronunciation the two words are pronounced identically aswell, a similarity which might have led to the divergant spelling from East to West Europe.

To sum up, two words that both mean the same thing. You were both equally ignorant but who really cares?
