Playing with the faction of Cilician Armenia will offer both great opportunities and great dangers ... Cilicia has rich lands nearby, but also warlike neighbours. The little armenian state is in fact in the middle of the struggle between Byzantium and the Turks, so taking side with the victorius can give great rewards....also some rich cities lie in the south, but the Egyptians and Turks are also aware of them ... of no less importance, is the fact that the armenians are along the highway to the holy land. Good Diplomacy wil be the key for the Armenian king .
Units - Armenia can count on some quite strong early units , the cavalry have everything , a good all around unit like standard armenian cavalry , mounted archers of good quality , the ubiquos Azaku elite cavalry and the powerful nakharars ... unfortunatly the infantry is not of the same quality ,yet the archers and javelinment are efficient and a rich king can afford some more armoured troops but anyway with the exception of the rare western mercenaries few troops can be relied on prolonged melees ...
