Caius Britannicus Presents: "THE CRUSADES"

[caius britannicus]

Todays preview is the last crusader units preview for a while. After this I'll be posting the Saracen unit list and start previews for it. I do have a new saracen unit done already but you'll have to wait a few days before I post that unit.

This might just be my favorite unit so far. Beautiful. So sweet. Can't wait for the Saracen units.

Today I'm posting, not screenshots but the finalized Saracen Unit list. The saracens will work in much the same way as the Crusaders. Just as the Latin Kingdom (Kingdom of Jerusalem) supplied the core of the crusader units the Ayyubid Dynasty will supply the core units for the Saracens. The saracens will also able to recieve "re-enforcements" like the crusaders from areas such as the Arabian peninsula or the Seljuk Turks. Also recruitable are Syrians, Nubians, Sudanese and Kurds making for a varied and diverse unit list with an emphasis on cavalry. As a crusader you will have to rely on your knights to hold the Saracen cavalry so your powerful infantry can close in and surround them. As the Saracens you will have to use your cavalry to out maneuver the crusading knights and infantry and bring the fight to the crusader foot soldiers quickly. Once they are out of the picture the knights of europe will not be able to withstand your great numbers!

Is there any way I would be able to play this without the expansion? I never bought it, and with MTW2 so near in the future, I would rather not buy it, but this mod might drive me to it if theres no other way!

[caius britannicus]

unfortunatly the mod is only going to be for the expansion pack.

Also, just to let everyone know, I know have a sub-forum here on the ORG and all my updates and previews will be found there. There is already some new info as well as renders of castles and buildings.
