You can't go into buildings. But you can burn them down. If you click on the building, your men will start to throw torches at it (pretty cool). Farms really dn't eem to slow you down when you pass through them.

lol, you may have a point, dont worry vyanvotts, most of em are talking to u and emp! when no one else is on anyway, back to the topic....
I think ca could have made the landscape more diverse because it would add so much more to the game.
hehe, me, quite amusing, even thats making me laugh....

are muslims in england affected my the cold!? its not like it affects there breeding!..thats obvious!...
no, what I mean is...well, I know this australian guy came to england and he was affected cos he wasnt used to the cold, considering its hotter in turkey then the turks may have problems with english weaahter.

Islamic factions fair badly in European winters. Lightly armored Muslim warriors are not suited to take on harsh winters. Where asthe European knights will fry under the desert sun. Camels are slow enough as it is. The Almohads are best suited, out of all the other Muslim factions, to invade Europe because of their experience in Spain as well as France.

It does rain in the Moslem realm! Rain really only affects ranged units.

I think the Turks will be that Muslim faction that will fare the best in the cold. They come from an area that has regular snow and cold, as well as they expanded into what is now Turkey (see the name), where it can get very cold at times.

I agree. The Turks originally come from the Asian Steppe, so they are used to brutal climates, hot or cold.
Actually Kraxis, the country is called Turkey because it was named after it' greatest president Attaturk.

why does everyone have a fasination with the turks, they wernt exactly the most succesful of european nations
I think some neutral pieces like civilians and innocent bystanders should be added to the map...they could be cosmetic, they could be persuaded to fight for a fee, they could be incited to cause rebellion, if per chance you happen to lose...but this may be able to be achieved with a strat map piece...well then, if anything, I think you should allow structures to explode with hit with seige equipment...perhaps place gunpowder booby traps...thatwould be a gas...
but the turks were the coolest and had the best gunpowder!
boom boom boom goes my army...fun fun fun do I have...booom boom boom goes my army...fun fun fun do I have!
Just imagine an enemy walking through a farmers field.. then lighting it on fire. Wonder if that kind of thing is a possibility.
I certainanly hope so, burning 200 peasants in there own wheat is so funny(Im not a sadist, but when it comes to this game)
Can horses go over streams easily, are there streams?

Actually, they had the largest empire since the Romans when they were at their zenith in the 1600's. North Africa, Holy Land, Asia Minor, the Balkans, Mesoptamia, Southern Lithuania, Cypress, and Hungary. I'de say they did what they were supposed to, and where very successful. FYI: they din't hold Hungary very long.

by the end of medieval total war they become the ottomans, maybe thats a bit later, but the ottomans ruled lots of stuff and had excellant pikemen.
