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 economy is a central part of the challenge built into TLR. If you aren't able to improve your economic situation, expect to be destroyed promptly.

There are various strategies to deal with this. Most involve focusing on economic buildings early on. Remember the free upkeep on militia units. It can be a life saver. Crusades/Jihads can be very beneficial especially if you raid and sack enemy cities. Merchants, Trade Agreements, and Ports are very important for your economy. Losing a Trade Agreement can hurt.

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.

The new map has removed the Aztecs and Americas in favor of extending the map East and preserving map accuracy.

Events

There are various historically informative events added to help set the stage for what is occuring in the game world.

Many are tied to actual happenings as explained in the Eras section.

Campaign

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 AI / Diplomacy

The Long Road features a fully custom built AI tweaked to match a epic campaign game-play experience.

The AI should attempt to guard its borders and attack invaders leading to many more field battles.

Battle AI

  • Improved formations for the Player to utilize
  • Improved formations that make a AI battles and sieges more realistic and difficult
  • Improve the realism of missile weapons.
  • Guns now require line of sight for attacks.
