FACTION PREVIEW: The Kingdom of Georgia
Background information
Medieval Georgia
Kingdom of Georgia at peak of its military dominance, 1184-1225
The Georgian Kingdom reached its zenith in the 12th to early 13th centuries. This period has been widely termed as Georgia's Golden Age or Georgian Renaissance. The revival of the Georgian Kingdom was short-lived however, and the Kingdom was eventually subjugated by the Mongols in 1236. Thereafter, different local rulers fought for their independence from central Georgian rule, until the total disintegration of the Kingdom in the 15th century. Neighbouring kingdoms exploited the situation and from the 16th century, the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire subjugated the eastern and western regions of Georgia, respectively.
The rulers of regions which remained partly autonomous organised rebellions on various occasions. Subsequent Persian and Turkish invasions further weakened local kingdoms and regions. As a result of wars against neighbouring countries, the population of Georgia was reduced to 250,000 inhabitants at one point.

Despite being exceptionally unique, they are actually quite balanced. :yes:
- Georgia has no anti-armor whatsoever. No axes, no maces, no crossbows, no Javelins. They have no dedicated tools or units to engage armored units, whereas pretty much all their neighbors do (Except I think the Rum turks)
- Early Georgian cavalry isn't too good, in comparison to their neighbors (Their tier 2 HA are Tier 1 Kypchaks. Their first melee cavalry are tier 3, when Jerusalem gets them at tier 1).
Re: FACTION PREVIEW: The Kingdom of Georgia
can Georgian bodyguard fight with swords in close battle?
Re: FACTION PREVIEW: The Kingdom of Georgia
Okay@ Ahiga ;)
Yeah Tadz, offcourse they can - all missile units can fight close combat. The question is if they will have Sword, axe or mace as second weapon.
The monaspa units look so damn good!!! :thumbsup:

I think, Georgia have other privileges in battle:
1. real exellent heavy and skillfull swordsmens and real mighty/hardy spearmens.
2. hardy heavy cavalry.
3. unique bodyguard, this is tactical "secret" of Georgians, I think.
4. at last, archers are also effective, especial monaspa archers.
