In Napoleon Total War, I played as Russia and conquered the Ottomans. Unfortunately I was so busy with them , that next thing I knew Napoleon was steamrolling through Europe right to my door step. When I moved all my troops to face him, Spain spent a fleet to invade my Ottoman lands.

So.....I traded all my Ottoman lands to Spain in exchange for them breaking their alliance with France and giving me full military access. Then I sent an army to Spain, invaded France and sacked Paris. This caused Napoleon to retreat

Remove: Special characters, Government management, Structures not related to military, All non military tech.

Dramatically simply the government. No more appointing governors or issuing special edicts. Very simple population response : unhappy with wars and conquering (x amount of turns to assimilate) and happy if peace and stability.

Dramatically simplify the economy (no more good production vs tax revenue vs special trade resources). Simplify to rich income land vs average income land vs poor income land. Some areas allow recruitment of special military units due to their historical legacy.

Improve the diplomacy..more complex negotiations like cease fire, truces etc (these can be invoked during battles).

The +/- for why a faction hates you are simplified based on war/peace and battles won/lost.
