    Well, Im not completely sure about this, during the punic wars, many of the soldiers where volunteers that came off their farms to fight. of course, that changed later on and soldiers started making the military their carrier. So, you could use a Jihad system for a while, use mercenaries, and still have the game be realistic, right?

    The point is that the "Jihad" should be used only in exceptional occasions (like the Punic War or when your capital is threatened), not constantly.
    But how limit the use of the Jihad system I don't know.

    What is the apache warpath exactly ??
    Proving the others wrong does not prove you right.

    Being against war is an evidence in itself but peace is nothing but an absence of wars.

    If capitalism, and all its vices, is the best humanity can do with its energies when at peace, it might as well start fighting again...

    It is said that the people during the Middle Ages when uneducated, gross, naive, fearful of the unknow and uncaring for all but their little pleasures, with the exception of some elites. I can assure you it haven't change to this day.

    The apache warpath is a feature much like the crusades and jihads, that magically increases the speed of the units following it and makes them liable to desert if you're not going towards the target. It also gives positive traits when it is successful.

    The Apache warpath is exactly the same as a Jihad, only with a funkier name.

    I thought the Jihad required that a "muslim" culture has held the province at some time, whereas the war path can have any target?
