An update of my progress for you guys.

Egypt is now pulling in more cash than any other. This is even with my pathetic Sultan who can't even count. (Acumen = 2) My loyalty problems have disappeared as I've been building many things resulting in increased loyalty of my generals.

The Sultan of the Turks was beheaded in 1113 and Egypt now controls Armenia, Rum, Edessa, Lesser Armenia, Antioch, Syria, Tripoli, Palestine, Arabia, Rhodes, Sinai, and Egypt. After the Turks were eliminated Egypt went on a building spree. Massive farm upgrades followed with trading posts. The Byzantines will likely see Egyptian mercenary armies marching on Trebizond, Anatolia, Nicaea and Georgia soon. Maybe Egypt will take Contantinople and control trade in the Black Sea. Crete and Cyprus will be Egyptian as well.

The new Egyptian motto is: Money talks, armies walk.
