    Default Re: About the Turks starting position

    The Crusades started because the Byzantiums asked the Pope for help.
    It's not as simple as that... If you want to know more I or someone else (if they want to) can ramble on.

    Both Turkey and Egypt seem to have very good starting positions. Egypt: Wealth, open spaces, rebels to the west. Turks: Rebels all around them and a powerful army list. But both will be bothered by the Crusades, especially Egypt, and the Turks will likely get hit by both the Mongols and the Timurids if they manage to establish a big Empire.

    "One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"
