New SS 6.4 HS: preparations thread (2 turns per week)

From what you say it appears exactly as he had already chosen the Turks.

I let everybody choose the factions.
Ebs was the last to join, and I offered him to choose between Moors/Sicily or Turks and he chose the former (Moors/Sicily). Here's the pm I sent him:

Then Loose Cannon came after we started making the saves already, and took the block which until then was unplayable (Mongols/Cumans/Kwarezm). The faction choice has been made here in the thread, so anyone can read the thread.

My first choice would have been Venice/Genoa, but Core-i7-inside wanted them badly
Alternatively I could have chosen ERE. And in general I like factions in the middle of the map, because although more difficult to manage, there's also more action and excitement and political intrigue.

And like I wrote multiple times, if anybody wants the Turks just ask them as long as you can play in my time-slot

Ok so i believe the majority are still interested in starting the game as it is if i am right.I mean the save is not that bad.Not all the castles are developed but as far as i am concerned they don't have to be.Factions are pretty balanced too as far as i am concerned and with turks disbanding the 2 stacks at Constantinople I don't see a problem of turks beeing too powerfull.

We will never get a perfect save but with the proposed changes (To getting money and army, disbanding jihad armies etc.) i believe the save is good enough.I for one would really like to get this started.

This is what I like... the other isn't worth reading :P

Faction choice: it needs to be known which faction you'll choose to play with:
Keep in mind that:
-Jihad armies will be disbanded.
-TO will get reinforcement and money (2 or 3 full stacks depending also on which Russian faction will be chosen)
-Castille will get an extra stack of santiago knights (half mounted , half dismounted) if Moors are chosen (if Sicily is chosen, then Castille shouldn't need any reinforcement being the only human faction in Iberia).

Norway sounds good. Denmark is in really bad shape.
