There are just alack of Almohad lovers in this world or at least on these boards...

I mean, Almohad Urban Militia, come on Where's the respect? In the early period I defy anyone to find a unit that can consistently handle the AUM regularly. When I play the ALmohads, in fact, I can usually throw those units around until the late period w/out significant opposition.

And don't even get me started on the nubian spearmen. Although the Turks and Egyptians have the chance to start w/ (or nearly start w/ in the Turkish case, but its not to hard to trundle on over to Cyrenacia and get 'em) so its really the AUM that seal the deal for me.
