    Is anyone interested in me continuing this? I'm a long way behind but I'll make the effort to catch up if I know it will be appreciated.

    I have certainly been enjoying watching it, although that is kind of weird since I am in the game. If you would rather put your time elsewhere that is fine by me though.

    Sorry guys I'm finding I just don't have the time to keep up with this. It's taking and uploading all the screenshots that takes up the time.

    It's fun! But I can't continue....unless you guys want to send me your shots and then I can put them together for you into a narrative.

    How far off is this game from finishing? Are you interested in a second Crusades game? This is the last of the big three in Kingdoms I haven't played, but the Western factions seem very nice.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    The western ones have a lot of nice custom units with some really beautiful skins, although with AR you don't get to see those. Of course, most of them also have twice the stats of the Middle Eastern ones so it is still nice.

    I can't say the units for Egypt or the Turks are great, they are pretty weak and use the vanilla skins for everything.
