What are you going to do in your first Broken Crescent game?

[Orko]

I will play as Rajput, conquer five sorrounding regions, and spend the rest of the time in building my country until the foreign invasions when I am sorrounded only by rebels and I am safe.
What do you gonna do?

[Tadzreuli]

I will play as Georgia and going to conquer all Caucasus, Turks, Abbasids and Khwarezm-shah, going to make Armenian and Jerusalem as ally, but Byzantian Empire, I will conquer them 100%

[The Mongol]

I like taking it slow in the beginning and building up my economy.

I think I'll play as the Ayyubids and just tech up but Egypt is going to be harder than vanilla, with the Makurians South and the KoJ North.

[Drtad]

I'll play as Armenia and recreate the Armenian Empire of Tigranes II as it was in 69BC. That'll mean I'll have to encroach on quite a few factions...

[Yoda Twin]

I'll play as Ghorids and spend all assets on crushing the Hindus. Then i will lay low untilthe mongols come and then I'll try to kill off whoever tries to come to India.

[el_dude]

play as the byzantines, recreate the empire of Alexander the Great, then try and conquer the whole map

[Ahiga]

I'll finally play the Ghazni, after holding them off until all is finished, and get my Turko-Persian arse to India until the Mongols pass.

[nnnm]

I will play custom battle to see all faction units
Edit: 100 post

Not if my Ghorids get there before you. Youy know you want to come to the dark side Ahiga.

[Ahiga]

What was that? I couldn't hear you over the lock of my Khorasani Spearmen's shields against your incoming cavalry.

Best spearmen east of the Tigris and Euphrates, if not the near east, you Afghan Raider!

[B. Ward]

I can tell you that Armenia will have one of the hardest campaigns in Broken Crescent. In the most truly satisfying and exilarating way. Forget Turks, Byzantium is you main worry, as they send stack after stack trying to pummel Cilicia into dust. Its quite exciting. I suggest conquering cyprus early and having a safe foothold there, not to forget the *amazing* trade revenues from it (cyprus gets its tradelane choices of anatolia, egypt and the levant) .

I'll play as Ghorids and spend all assets on crushing the Hindus. Then i will lay low untilthe mongols come and then I'll try to kill off whoever tries to come to India.

I was actually doing this just yesterday. Its quite fun. Taking Delhi will be quite the challenge. The Ghorids start off with an enormous army and you will be losing money fast the first turn or two. I let my two useless afghan settlements (kabul and peshawar) revolt and turn horde. Then go straigt into Punjab (north india) and conquer and secure all the settlements there and build a nice little North Indian Sultanate. Then go straight for delhi where a massive army awaits you. Then comes the real challenge as by this time you will face the massive armies of the Rajputs. And thus the battle for India begins.

I think I'll play Egypt first too. They and KoJ will have quite exciting campaigns and it wont be easy. I've implemented garrison scripts for both Egypt and KoJ settlements (when under AI control). So taking Jerusalem or any other crusader city will be a b**ch. Saladin better come prepared because Jerusalem or Acre will spawn a large number of units whenever you besiege it - so don't expect a quick siege surprise when the garrison is low.

What do you gonna do?

Rajputs greatest challenge will be the surrounding rebel states. This makes sense considering that in history the Rajputs main weakness was their lack of unity. Their second weakness will be mediocre cavalry in the face of the Ghorids who will field plenty of light to heavy cav. But the Rajputs have rich cities and large armies with some excellent militia forces. Only problem is their low morale. Much like Byzantium the Rajput forces hinge very much on good leadership. So make sure to always have good chivalric generals leading your men.

I will play as Georgia and going to conquer all Caucasus, Turks, Abbasids and Khwarezm-shah, going to make Armenian and Jerusalem as ally, but Byzantian Empire, I will conquer them 100%

It will be a challenge but Georgia has a great start position. Grab those rebel settlement, especially in azerbaijan or "albania" at first. But be careful. Your first great threat will be Byzantium whose mighty castle at Trebizond will be used to conquer Armenian lands south of Tbilisi. If you want to prevent being dominated then you will need to get to those settlements first. The Seljuks are another major threat. Its best to take up a more defensive position with them while you secure Caucasia and the Byzantine frontier. But if they attack you, make sure to take Ardabil fast, this castle will allow you to launch invasions and raids deep into Iran. If you get low on cash you can always send your heavy warriors to sack Rayy and Isfahan and you will get lots of money that way!

I'll finally play the Ghazni, after holding them off until all is finished, and get my Turko-Persian arse to India until the Mongols pass.

[karo]

my first campaign will be Armenia First I was planning to conquer Armenian homelands back but after reading Mirrage's warring I'll be killing Byzantian fools who think they can attack me after they're dead I'll attack and conquer My homelands and kill georgia for the fun and after I'm done their the turks will meet my Crosebows. Thats all I can think about doing in my first campaigne

[Georgian Knight]

I will try to do same what David IV did...I already see crushed enemies and Georgian flag on Battlefield....oh that's sweet

[Ermeni]

i'm gonna take out the turks and the byzantines ......i'll ally with Georgia and buy any armenian cities thay have aqquired....(like Ani) and then i'll wait for the kingdom of jerusalem to draw first blood then i'll punish the heretical ( ) catholics and claim the holy city for the orthodox church

[Jon Bibiluri]

well, at first I will play as Jerusalem, will fast crush Egypt fields armyes, then take some strategic castles around KoJ, then I will expansion into south - west (Egypt). .... oh, I forgot about Kyprus, this is really strategic position for KoJ and Armenians...

[Georgian Knight]

Good Idea

[Emperor]

I will play the Seljuks,
First I will defeat the Abbasid Calipha and establish an empire in North Middle East. Then I will build the economy and military system for to prepare the mongol invasion. Then when I defended the homelant from the mongols invasion. I will build a large army to attack Georgia and Armenia and the turks. Then I will be the true emperor of East Europe and Central East Asia.

[Toreli]

I will play as Georgia and first i will conquer rebel settlementts and then whole Caucasus, after it i will spend some time building my country and then will start a campain to conquer all countries at the map

What can Ghorids Horde? Glad to here this will be fun. What will be a challenge is holding against the countries that have been pushed east by the Mongols. The Rajput will be fun to fight as well.
