They used the infamous Braveheart tactic-more of that in another post.

So the only really good response is,of course, a Jihad. I tend to keep only one Jihad marker at a time out of honorable war tactics.

But how can you improve what you get in a Jihad? ie the base units?
It was some time since I was doing anything on this so I don't remember everything for certain.

AFAIK the number of units if affected by the price of the JIhad (not certain) and the price of the units recruited (certain).

The quality of the starting troops is affected by the zeal (not certain) and of course the zeal affects the recruiting of the crusade/jihad.

So basically get those Alims to work
