You gotta be a little careful when you use that.

[..]I'm [..] Stalin now!

[Barbarian Roman]

Yeah the Roman Empire is hard. U start with -2500 and there's a huge turkish army to cope with, and u have very little troops in the region, just enough to keep order in the cities.

Play until 1205 at least. You'll see


I wonder why nobody has actually googled "1204" yet...

Well, i know what happened in 1204. In fact, the events of that year are the main reason for the decline and downfall of Byzantium - they're not the only cause (hey, internal roman/byzantine power struggles played a big part in the events of that fateful year, too, and they would continue afterwards), but they definitely triggered those fading two final centuries of the Roman Empire.
But i didn't look into the files yet. I guess you added some nice script...

EDIT: checked it now Have to try it in-game

Let me just say that the first 10 years should be used very carefully...


I mean, you wouldn't want to be taken by surprise by a Venetian fleet capturing 8/10 of your settlements in one turn :

Something like that...

The positive thing will be that the Turks will have a bigger fish to fry than you.

What problem did the turks hostorically have at the time period? More franks?

Historically they were in a civil war (Kilij Arslan II had 10 kids or something) and the Armenians were on the offensive.

And Barbarossa had sacked Iconium a year before the start date too.

I think you should switch out a faction that's not important to the crusades (say, the Bohemians) and switch them for a faction that was important to the crusades, such as Georgia.

Unfortunatly, there is a 20 faction limit, so we can't have everything we want. And Georgia would be far removed from the main game, so they wouldn't contribute to much to gameply, wherewise Bohemia is right in the action of central Europe, surronded by powerful nations, great for a player who wants a challenge. Besides, the game is not all about the crusades, and its nice to have a Czech faction.

Problem, I can't play the campaigns, they ctm on me. custom battles are fine though.

Don't do the custom campaigns, do the grand campaign, as that is the FCRC campaign.

I don't think they'd be that far removed, they'd be in the thick of a particular event in the mid 13th century! It is unfortunate, but the faction limit is... limiting. Personally I think a Georgian faction would be great, but then again I don't want the Byzantine campaign to become IMPOSSIBLE. >.<

The mod isn't just about the Crusades; it's about Europe in the 13th century in general, even though the name doesn't suggest it (Hey! It wasn't my idea! )

The title Fall of the Cross, Rise of the Crescent was chosen by me just to render a main historical event at the start of this campaign's timeframe.

Interesting about the resolution, eventhough I have the the resolution set at a different size in the game, it still opens using the resolution of the desk top. In order to play the game I have to resize the desktop and restart the game. Just an FYI

[Tia]

Main campaign goes back to the menu too.
