campaign relocation

[Cfc149]

bit of a weird one-
i'm starting a new campaign in 6.3 and i was wandering if anyone had any good ideas about totally relocating factions for the sake of fun. for instance moving egypt to central europe.

[General Brittanicus]

I say you should take the byzantines to the british isles, just so they can have a break from being attacked from all directions.

[Cfc149]

yes i like that, i've always thought byzantium had good heavy units but was put off by the thought of being outmanouvered by those nippy turkish Horse Archers.

[Gogolometro]

Lol. Turks piss ya? That is a bit wierd. Byzntines are better than turks all time before janisaries. Even than is a stupid thing to live Greece and Constantinopole were is the core of greek pool recruitment.
Best things to do like migration campaign. Relocate teutons in Levant. I done that in alliance with Kingdom of Jerusalim. The holy cross make cristian Asia Minor. Other was make teutons greeks. Funny like hell.
A less spectacular but funny was to sell all HRE empire, relocate in England, conquer Britania and Ireland, invade France and start reconquista of german lands from french, norwigians, danes, genovese, venetians and poles.
Good campaign is to move Genova in Ukraine. Crossbows pavise versus HA and slavic armies.
Interesting is to add vikings in Egypt and have fun with axes.
I want to see someone mad enough to move an european nation in Persia or Oman.

yes that would look rather stupid having ritterburders trudging through the desert

[Gogolometro]

Not at all. Ritten are too proud to do that. Plus you will be a crusader in holy lands. Give jerusalimite bros a chance to survive. Fatimids and turks will really apreciate that.

Actually, the Teutonic Knights was formed in the Levant, and had it's Headquarters in Acre for about a hundred years.

[Cfc149]

yes i'm sure jerusalem would appreciate a hand. (st lazarus knights fighting next to ritterbuders :] ) prussian axeman would feel out of place though.

[Cfc149]

it is done i have relocated the byzantine empire to a strip of land between HRE and france i have just 3 settlements metz, rheims and dijon. allies with HRE and France who have my old lands between them, a sad moment leaving the old homeland although just in time as the turks approached with a full stack army

[E.K]

Try relocating the Crusader states to norway
that would be an interesting campaign.

[Mornai]

I'm playing a similar campaign. I'm the Crusader States and i relocated to Ireland, then gave all my provinces to the Pope except for Galway and Dublin. I wonder how the Islamic factions are going to react to that.

The only bad part is only being able to recruit Marinae. From awesome swordsmen and heavy Knights clad in heavy armor to peasants in rags with wooden clubs. At least it'll provide a good challenge.

[urrah]

Byzantines in the British Isle's, Crusader State's in Norway, completely stupid ideas. Why can't we do something sensible like move Lithuania to central Spain?

[ecclesian_knight]

How about relocating the Muslim factions in Europe and the Christian factions in the Middle east and Africa?

This would be another parallel universe setting

[RabidSheepLegion]

put the pope in constantinople

[urrah]

Let''s add China into the game. They can start with Caen, Paris and Antwerp.

[GeneralG]

I think the mongols should start in venice. That would shock the pope.

[Gogolometro]

Ideea is to relocate with wise decision. Kingdom of Jerusalim out of Levant mean no canpns of holy sepulcre. Who want that? About byzantines, any relocation is a wrong thing, without Constantinopole they are very weak, no scolari, no siphonatores, no spatari to vasileos.
So a good migrators are steppe people. Like cumans, is a must, is ok like russian factions, like italian you all time migrate around mediterana.
Like portugese I go in Ireland. Thats is very good choice because you star with 1 castle.
Norway are migrators, raid all time, why not establish in Britania?
Is a must to migrate like persians. Anywere but leave that empire. Is a very bad ideea to build a society there.
But best migrators in my opinion are teutons. And Lituania can be a boring theatre.

[recentiy03]

I moved the kwamezarians to Finland but we went bankrupt beyond
repair halfway through the migration...no one would/could buy
my land so I gave everthing to the Crusader States minus the two
settlements that went rebel on me...by the time we got to Finland it was 25 turns into the campaign and we were 50k in the hole, I moved the capitol and quit...BGR+two jihads+mass migration west=Fail.

[Shoryn]

I think the best migration is Teutonic Order in the Levant. It's a great idea, I always wanted to play Crusader States for their position and challenge but I don't really like their units, it's another thing with TO (although some relooked units looks really crappy like Christ Knights). I'll try that next late era campaign I'll do.

[Silhouette]

I moved the English into Baghdad and renamed it "Ohio" once. I was going to rename Cairo "Herefordshire" but I didn't get that far.
