At this point, I'm allied with most of my Christian brethren, but I can certainly expand into both Turkish factions once I'm ready. I might also kill Armenia off, but for now we have an alliance.

Turn 8
Merlox (Ghorids) vs Chaotix27 (Georgia)
Strategy: Expanding and building, making money.
Current Priority: Killing rebels.
Diplomacy: Nothing new.
Military: Besieging 2 towns. The seljuks lost their siege, so I "took over" for them. Weakened the garrison nicely for me.
Building: Economy buildings
Recruitment: another spy, levies. Get this: I can recruit the same Kypchak horse archers as mercs for half the price that I can recruit them in my castle!
Money: 500
