I am playing the french and the aim is full domination of the map. I have defeated the germans, danes, english, almoheads, castilians and portugese and have the egyptians on the ropes.(ok i am cheating also, using the 1 million credit cheat and have used almost half of it)
I made crusader army that when it came to egypt counted 3200 men. the egyptians never knew what hit them. I didnt have to fight them before taking Jerusalem and sieging the castle there because i had two other armies in egypt and when the crusader army arrived i moved them into sinai while the crusader army struck by sea.
the battle of jerusalem, me defending:
crusader army:3000 men
egyptian army 2800 men
i had 1 cannon, 2 archers, 3 spanish jenisets, 2 feudal men at arms on foot and the rest was nights
when i had placed the men and opened the game i had a trebuchet directly in front of my cannon, but i couldnt fire at it for some reason. i had my jenisets in the front to act as archers. The egyptians moved forward and made the jenisets withdraw and the cannoncrew rout, i made them go to the rear so i could get reinforcments. And when the egyptians tried to get inside my lines my nights struck. I routed the egyptians first 16 units and found my units on top of the hill were the eyptians came in. As soon as the units appered on the map i attacked and routed them. I had to send some units to the rear when they were almost gone. Of the 32 units in reserv i used 4. When the battle ended the egyptians had lost 1400 men dead, 600 pow. I had lost 200 men.
my aim now after the crusade is split up after taking jerusalem?:fully deafeting the egyptians and then attack the russians that are the easiest to fight, then austria and then italy before going aginst bysantium. Will end the game in a battle for constantinopel and using a army consisting of 12 siegeweapons and 4 strong units to assult the castle and blowing up the castle
