I am sorry, but I think we need a more conventional starting point for this campaign. I uploaded Demon's savegame, but the situation looked pretty hopeless. Demon of Light will hate me for saying this, but it reminded me rather of an unfortunate episode in the Kings of England campaign.

I did the best I could - winning four battles against the odds and even holding on to Antioch against the Byzantines. But the second year of the game, the Spanish steamrollered Valencia and a year later they killed my heirless Sultan after storming the keep.

I guess there is an interesting story behind Demon's savegame, but given the number of folk signing up for this campaign I am not sure this is place to tell it.
