here is a vote, every one vote, but vote fairly "no favoritism"
i vote for The Ayyubid Sultanate
That would be The Kypchaks thanks to their huge bodyguard unit size...
They own all.
Ghorids, then Byzantium
Who voted for Sindh?!!??!
Oh wait that was me.
Sorry I thought this was favorite factions, I wasn't paying attention![]()
voted Ayyubids, but for me it's really something approaching a 3 way tie between the Ayyubids, Ghorids, and Abbasids. Ayyubids have a really good starting position, strong units, and good pop growth and economic potential. Ghorids have strong units, spammable low upkeep units, and with a little effort decent economic potential. Abbasids, while their units aren't quite as strong or cheap as the others mentioned, their economic potential is nigh-unbeatable. The Abbas can afford much more in the way of losses than most other factions, thus making wars of attrition against them very unpleasant. I think the Ayyubids trump the other 2 slightly because of the great starting position combined with sheer unit strength.
I LOVE THIS mod!!! if it was an official expansion for M2TW, it would kick "kingdoms" ass !!
Mongols. No doubt.
I gotta say Rome they might not get HA but i never was a big user of them to begin with. There Infantry are the best universally and powerful to bet, spearmen not as strong but they get the formation, The higher ones get sword and spear (wish they used it better) and the Axemen are the best to find. BG are the best next to Mongol with there top as good as the rest recrutable buy other and the next not as awesome but have a totally uber charge.
Ayyubid Sultanate close second. I haven't played the Ghorid sultanate yet and they keep getting unlucky when i play a game in that region.
1:Ghorid 2:ayyubid
Kingdom of Jerusalem!! who wants to taste my templars and hospitaliers? their cool and deadly fanatics dont rout easily,
plus their the only factions
How did you defend. I have no problems kicking the Mongol's Ass. I massed in the Center, let them come at me, which causes them to bunch up and get massacred by my Ghulam Infantry firing fire Arrows into them along with my single ballista unit firing point blank range. I then send my heavy spears charging and the Mongols break and run.
What were you doing?
Welcome to the Great Race 2015. Either IS wins or Iran bails out Assad in the nick of time. Whoever wins Iraq and Syria and everybody else loses.
Ghorid,1337 position and almost always ends up owning afghanistan and India.
for me the Abbasids,your starting position is great,the economy grows very fast,and alot of rebels if you just Capture the rebel cities of Ahwaz,hillah,Shiraz,Anbar,Mosul,Aleppo,Antioch, that means you have controlled Iraq,eastern Syria and western Persian,a powerful base to start your expansion against the seljuks
I did not vote because I have not played most of these factions, but I must say so far I like the troop qiuality of KOJ. It feels just right, superior troops increased costs. And the strengths seem correct too.
I was playing SS and it seemed the middle eastern factions easily equaled or even out classed my templar knights. In BC the templar knights cost a fortune to maintain but they deliver on the battlefield.
So good job on the mod. I think this is a great crusader based mod too, even though it is the eastern empires. It's probably the reality facing the KOJ at the time.
abassid they have a lot of money!!!
I can only speak for the faction that I have mainly used, and that is KoJ.
A great, well rounded faction. Lets see it has -
Great Cav - Templars and Hospitaller Knights
Good Spears - Armoured Seargents
Good foot inf - Knights of Jerusalem, Latin Knights, Dism. Templars
Great Missle troops -dism.Turkopoles and Italian xbow Merc's (both good in melee as well)
Good Missle Cav - Turkopoles
I am having a phat time playing as these guys!
