Re: Screenshots / Empires' Maps Thread
I've been enjoying the new map tremendously. Taking the Zengids as my favourite faction, I have taught the Abbasids and the Seljuks to fear my mighty empire!

At first, I wanted to simply secure control over Iraq. Then, once that had been achieved, I felt that the Iraqi provinces were vulnerable to what lies beyond the Zagros mountains. I wanted to secure the area completely, and the best way to do that was to advance across the mountains and take the cities on the other side. So I conquered Iran too. Meanwhile to the north, the Georgians attempted to attack one of my castles. So I marched north and destroyed them utterly, adding their lands to my empire. Likewise in the west, the Crusaders betrayed me and attempted to siege Aleppo. So I turned west and completely destroyed them too. Now I am at war with the Byzantines and the Cumans, while the Egyptians are neutral. I used to be allied to Egypt, but one of my assassins died while trying to kill an Egyptian merchant that had just killed one of my own merchants. This ended the alliance. I will conquer them too, when the time comes!

Re: Screenshots / Empires' Maps Thread
Soo I started playing a HRE campaign, mostly because I wanted to test and find out if it's really that easy. I started off taking Verona, Utrecht and Loven pretty quickly. I also allied with venice to have support in italy. Since the heir is an usurper in the HRE campaign, I decided to kill him off and a non-usurping Regent followed. Then I invaded genoa, since milan had a full rebel stack with leaders supporting it and I couldn't lure them away from the city. I fought several smaller wars with the french, the danes and the italian factions. Venice backstabbed me and I was unable to hold both Verona and Genoa at some point, so Verona fell to the venetian traitors. Loven switched sides several times between me and the french aswell.
Meanwhile in germany, my regent had some pretty bad traits and decided to get ambitious, trying to start a new dynasty instead of staying a regent. Civil war followed, I lost three settlements. I quickly tried to retake them, but the general who was besieging Regensburg decided to join the rebels instead, giving them a fullstack of my own troops. In civil war you can't trust any general. So I was kinda trapped because I didn't want to lose more nobles and generals in the field, and my empire was divived into two parts. I tried to make peace with the other factions to prevent losing more ground, and it worked mostly. The inner war lasted a long time, basically preventing any ambition of retaking lost settlements or fighting back. When the first usurper died, even another one followed..
Finally, after around 10 years, the fight for the throne was won by the new Kaiser Heinrich, the resistance faded and a new dynasty was founded. Soon Regensburg was recaptured, the traitors executed, and invasions followed into bohemia (capturing prague) and scandinavia, taking ribe from the all-time agressive danes. France is currently busy with england and im allied to hungary. So I'm finally, after 15 years able to get my revenge on the venetians for taking Verona, hopefully vasalling them soon. It looks like the french will win the war for france, so they will become a pretty big problem soon aswell. I really don't think it's an easy campaign so far.. And I'm pretty happy with it. :)

I love playing Mongol, too. But got some problem of re-emerging faction and recruiting Bodyguard for some factions such as HRE, France in Late campaign. That makes me very upset.
@MYW: Cool campaign, bro. The German is one of my favourite one.

Heh, that's probably too ambitious, I'd get bored long before achieving that :tongue:. I think I'd settle for the empire of Heraclius (my favourite ERE emperor).
You can recruit Varangian Guard after the heavy mail event (ca. 1200) and Spartharii tou Vassileus after the 4th Lateran council (1215).

Re: Screenshots / Empires' Maps Thread
Behold! Papa Callistus XIII, the first in the great line of warrior-popes. Not simply content with wielding unprecedented spiritual and political powers or making life miserable for every Catholic ruler in the world, this one has decided to personally lead an army against the infidel Orthodox Christians.
Here he is, about to attack a heavily defended castle at the tender age of 82, wearing nothing more than his overpriced vestments.
What could possibly go wrong here?
Ooh.
You have to admire his manhood though.

Meh, I don't think anyone will miss the old fart. And I hear the kings of Sicily and HRE are throwing a party.

Yes I made new cards for a few units. For Acritae and Mourtatoi, because they were outdated and for Scoutatoi, because I didn't like the old ones. Tbh I'm not too keen on mine either but it was my first ever unit card so I think I get a pass. I really like the other two though.
I did change a few models too, I took them from Broken Crescent because you can't improve on perfection. They have the most accurate and the best looking ERE roster ever. Claudillo's models look cool aswell, but some of them are "too cool". They have way too much armour for their unit type. Acritae and Mourtatoi, which are regular units, have face armour which was reserved only for the richest nobles and cataphracts. Ironically Athanatoi, a unit which definitely should have it, do not. And I don't like the cataphracts, they look more like parade than combat troops.
The problem is there are no armour upgrades in BC, so I only took their elites otherwise I would have imported the likes of Scoutatoi aswell.
Also I made Scoutatoi pikemen (hoplitai). They're regular Scoutatoi models with a 4.5 meter kontarion makron pike.
