The Moors?

[Viking Prince Olaf]

I'v never really considered trying A campaign as the Moors because
mainly Iv seen it irrelivant until now so Any tips or bright sides besides their powerful gunpowder? Because i see nothing right now since I
don't like to play as Muslim factions.


So i'm pretty optimistic right now and open to any ideas .
Go ahead; Blow me away.......

Not only do that have decent missile cavalry, they also have the spears that many Eastern factions lack. Their biggest issue is the lack of good late-period infantry; chances are if you don't win quickly, you'll get steamrolled by other factions' powerful late units.

the moors have one of the most diversive gameplay.

+ land battles in Iberia
+ Pirate raiding in the whole mediteranian (sack some cities and sell them afterwards or let them rebel, you can create huge turmoil in europe like that)
+ Jihads
+ sea warfare

before you get the camel gunners who are definatly some of the best units in game, they have Christian Knights in their rooster who are a formidable heavy infantry and cavalry en par with their european counterparts. their access to the Hashishims guild via the use of assassins makes their infantry well rounded and the assassins are just what you need in politic games as well as anti crusade issues (kill crusade leaders). especially in combination with the moorish archers in the desert and their horse archers in general, they are probably one of the best rounded factions.

they also have a huge trading potential. Timbuktu and Arguin are the most profitable trade colonies to have besides america.

The Moors:

1. One of the most secure starting positions.
2. Good early and high period units.
3. Strong opportunity to forge a great trading empire in the Mediterranean and Iberia.
4. Mostly protected from Crusades, Mongols and Timurids.
5. Easy access to Papal lands and ability to kill the Pope.
6. Spain and Portugal are a pushover so it is easy to take Iberia.

I hate playing as the Moors cuz the rebel cities near them are a pain to find and one city covers about a fourth of the map o.O But on the brighter side they have camel gunners.

[Conquistatore]

Granted they have large territories but the cities are all coastal so you can greatly benefit from trade! Who cares if there are some rebels camped out in the desert, let them stay there I say. They will eventually come near the cities at which point you can easily wipe them out.
