    Then obviously you've read nothing. You've obviously never played MTW. In the information it even says that one of the whole points of the game is to conquer the middle east jihadding or crusading. Exact quote "Win favour with the Pope and round up your armies for global crusades at his request. Players can even prompt the Pope to commission crusades as Catholicism wages a spiritual battle against the Muslim, Orthodox and Pagan religions."

    Don't worry Killer, the Muslims will most certainly be able to do a Jihad. :original: I don't know about the Orthodox factions though.

    maybe the orthodox could try to convince the pope to declare crusades against muslims, as when the turks conquered byzantine lands, they convinced the pop to do a crusade, correct me if i'm wrong though.

    I forget where I read it but I'm certain Jihads are in it just like in MTWI.

    Well you can only Jihad to a conquer land of yours. I hope the Jihad is limited though I didn't like the fact in MTW that you can lose a land some where in Europe and Jihad for it back. I would rather have it limited to Spain, Africa, and the middle east.

    The problem that I see is that the Catholics are going to have this super-advanced religion system with loads of interesting politicking and so on that will greatly effect the gameplay of the game, but the Orthodox will probably just have priests and bishops, like a hang over from MTW. I would greatly urge CA to give the Orthodox something comparable (especially since I am about to become Orthodox...). If they include factions like Bulgaria and Serbia (which I very much hope they will), and even if they just leave it at the historical monstrosity that is 'Russia', Orthodox politics will still be incredibly important to Eastern Europe. And they'll be important to interactions with the Catholics. I hope that CA have heard of the Council of Florence.

    Yeah, i'm also afraid that the Muslim and Orthodox factions will lack the dept of the Catholics in the campaign game, i've heard alot about priests and Crusades but nothing about Imams and Jihad. I too want to unite all the Muslims (Turks, Moors, Egypt, Arabs) and kick some crusader infidel butt.

    And heres to hoping they have an elite Mujahedeen unit.

    Hell, the game ends after the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, which is just more evidence to support a Colonial expansion pack.

    The first crusade was indeed started after a request for help by the byzantine emperor. Unfortunately he probably thought the pope whould send some hundred well trained italian mercenaries for the byz emperor to command. What he got was a crusade of tens of thousands of fanatic peasants quickly slaugtred by the turks, followed by about 60 000 well armed mainly frankish knights. This posed an immediate threat to his own empire and he was quick to send them across the Bospouros strait, to get rid of them. So I guess you are correct that the byzantines convinced the pope to order a crusade, they just didnt know it themselves.

    Just a quick question. Is it only Roman Catholic Nations that can crusade? Or can the Byzantines order crusades too?

    Crusades are tied with a pope and his faith, and Byzantium isn't catolic Empire (it is oposite of pope), so they souldn't, but who know... money is a miracle .

    Maybe you could, instead, do something like convert a bit of the catholic population in europe (using a couple of priest agents) and use them to rebel against the pope..that would be interesting!
