For some reason i don't have my copy of Medieval Total War, but still have Viking Invasion, i haven't played Medieval Total War in years and it's going to stay in my brain as fuzzy memories until another copy of the game arrives, as i have ordered the game off of ebay, and i want to feel the sensations near enough to when i first played the game as an 7 or 8 year old. I found it to be amazing and unlike STW and all the newer total war games when i compare them these days, they just seem to have diluted the base formula to appeal to the masses now, and when i look at video comments on Medieval 1 vids from some of the newer fans i have a mental barf. And, as a lol factor, since i was a kid at the time i ended up buying the expansion pack first () and then went and bought the original later.
Anyway, thats introductions for ya, and i was thinking about the Almohads, i think i was playing vanilla medieval as england, just sortof sitting around building stuff because i was a stupid kid and couldn't grasp the game concept very well, and i saw the Almohads steamrolling france for a few turns then seeing them fighting with the HRE, they seemed to have nearly destroyed the spanish and french in their crazed conquering spree and it surprised how fast they beat these factions, since the borders were quite constant and didn't change too much at the time, and then they appeared out of nowhere and smacked about the other countries like it was all in the decades work. I have heard of the Almohads being somewhat expansionist ingame but do they turn into super powers often?
