Thread: My new favorite faction.

  1. #1

    Default My new favorite faction.

    It was bound to happen and this is a big event, given my blatant obsession with the Ghaznavid sultunate. My new favorite faction has now become... The Ghorids! Wewt! Just working with so many awesome screenshots of them and their units has made me fall in love with them. The rugged, completely simple military feel of them and the dark gritty feel of their units is one of the coolest things I have ever come across. They remind me of the commandos in the game "Republic Commando". So, here's the the Ghorids!

    By the way, I think they should get an overview of their units in the "The Units" thread so we can all see each of their amazing awesomeness.

    LOL. You must have had a divine experience! Yes they are an extremely fun faction with quite a hell of a roster. It combines pretty much the best of AD's units with the cream of Strelac's Ghulam warriors. They are essentially the "vikings" of the mideast as far as style is concerned. And yes I do think I'll do a faction preview for them when I get the chance.

    Indeed it was a divine experience. Another thing I love is all the face masks! I'm a sucker for mouth/nose covering masks when it comes to medieval or ancient troops. In regards to the viking comment, perhaps that's another reason I've come to love them. I'm a Swede and descended from vikings.

    Though my love for the Ghaznavids hasn't died, it has merely been overshadowed. In my campaign I will most likely ally with the Ghaznavids or at least let them build up and expand for a while before attacking them.

    Oh those look perty...

    Ok, given myself a few moments to recover from the 'glow' of "amazing animations" and now these screenshots, and I concur! I'm a sucker for face masks too but even with this, my loyalties still lie with the Romans. Always and forever. Still, perty!

    Merged the double post, just try using the edit button.

    As to the Romans:

    I will raze Constantinople to the ground and drink the blood of its inhabitants, I will destroy the Hagia Sophia, sow the fields with salt, and sink the city into the sea!

    Just kidding, I'm too nice of a guy to do that. I'd just occupy it and try and make the people happy.

    My guerrillas will pick your forces apart in ambushes, then I'll send in my Jihad warriors and hack your remaining troops to itty bitty slices.

    Yeah while you two slaughter eachother I'll just take my time to build up my new and fresh armenian empire, after wiping out those treacherious byzantines, turks, georgians and offcourse those hordes of kipchaks ....

    And then we will see about your jihad warriors, and those war elephants...

    GHAZNI? How dare you insinuate that I would be playing as the Ghazni. It's the GHORIDS. Ghorid Sultanate!

    By the way Mirage, would it be okay if I released my own loading screen mod that included all of my wallpapers and whatnot once BC is out?

    By the way #2, do the Ghorid Guerrilla units have the ability to hide anywhere?

    The only reason that guy isnt moving is that he just got an arrow through his ass. You just cant see it in that screen, trust me.
