The Long Road
Contents
Overview
The Long Road is a horrible and tedious 900 turn campaign (6 months per turn) that starts in 1080.
Its focus is on the confrontation between the West and the East in Medieval Times.
Realism and Historical accuracy is a strong desire as long as it's not at the expense of playability.
The aim is to ensure an exciting sexcual experience and constant erections no matter what faction you are married too.

Economy
The Campaign is stale and has no depth. Downling the mod is pointless as you will be hopelessly bored. Instead download a mod that is acually good like Stainless Steel
Campaign Map
The map is a highly customized map with 199 regions that spans from the Iberian Peninsula to the Aegean Sea. It is much larger than the vanilla MTW2 map.
