Just recently saw the full map! the Golden Horde starts out with a shit load of land! You'de think they'de be a playbe civ. (bronze)

Russia- some wierd shade of blue!

[Gregoshi]

STW: Hojo = richest clan = eastern clan = purple
MTW: Byzantines = richest faction = eastern faction = purple

Coincidence? Will we have the "Byzantine Horde" in MTW? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Golden Horde are actually an AI invasion in the periodic campaigns (full campaign) other than late period (must check they might also be an invasion then).. what this means is that its down to how well the AI copes with bashing them back as to how far they get on the map!!

On game ive seen them rreach france after the russians turned out to be a "Hollow shell" and the Poles and Byzantines both collapsed - I ended up fighting Mongol Hordes with my english in Flanders even!!!!

Next game i didn't even see them even though I'd conquered nicacea, constantinople and armenia... not a sign of em - guess the rushkies must've beaten back out of the first province or so and their invasion died a death. (THe Mongol AI uses a similar routine to STW:MI in that the more provinces it gets the bigger it gets - so if it gets hammered back early on it can be quashed - playing as the rushkies you always need to bear this in mind and makes it a REAL challenge for that faction)

cool info darkmoor, that's a neat way to handle the mogol invasions

Some confusing colour combos --
White/dark red and dark red/white
Green/gold and green/orange
.....Ah well...
Mongols...in historcal campaign you can fight them. How about the reverse? You can't invade as Mongols, as in Shogun?

DakmoorDragon, in the event when the mongols invade, they sprea like wildfire andwipe out a lot of theeatsern powers. Darkmoor could you send me that beta your playing?

[Stephen Hummell]

Russians/Light blue w/ a Golden eagle or White eagle i forget

[Prodigy]

I dont think light-blue with yellow eagle are "Russians". Some sreenshots show them having Templars, which Russians never did.

[Hirosito]

i thought that could be maybe non-playable or hungarians maybe?

[Emp. Conralius]

They have to be Russians, if they were Hungarians, they'de to too far north.

[Stephen Hummell]

Maybe the Russians got mercenarys or took over the province you need to have to make templars.

[Prodigy]

Maybe, but that would be really strange. Light-blue color sertainly matches. I dont recall though Templars have ever been mercinaries, they were Worior Monks of Europe....... not mercinaries. Maybe Hospitalers, but not Templars.

[Emp. Conralius]

Remeber that the Teutonic Knights conquered the lands west of Russia (parts of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia).

[Prodigy]

I dont know what is your point Emp. Conralius..... but, anyways, I think Templar Khights are something that is only availible to the Catholic fractions in the game. At least that was in reality.

------------------

[Emp. Conralius]

Prodigy, my point was that the Teutonic Knights conquered lands that were relatively close to Russia. I was toalking about the whole topic about the Russians having Templars.

[Emp. Conralius]

Are these historically accurate banners? We know a few are.

[Prodigy]

Emp. Conralius
I think you confuse Teutonic Khights with Templar ones. Templar were French and English, they had nothing to do with Teutonic Order. The same is in the game.

PS. Yes,this are historically accurate banners. CA has top historians sitting next to them.

[Emp. Conralius]

at least he answers my questions! ood job Prodigy!

[Emp. Conralius]

I think the best Factions are England, Byzantium, and Turks. England has a pretty defendable homeland and have a well army. As do the Byzantines, who start off with a decent amount of land as well as an influence bonus and in Anotolia, can buy mercenaries at a cheaper price. Whereas the Turks get bonuses on their siege cannons and have lots of powerful infantry.
