Medieval II: Total War Official Thread

[Leet Eriksson]

Weren't the Franks heavily outnumbered at Tours/Poitiers, some 17,000 against 60,000?

There were no certain numbers, based on a christian source it was some 15,000-75,000 against 300,000 (bit exaggerated).

For arab sources, some say were equal, some say the arabs were outnumbered.
