I have been playing MTW/STW for a long long time. I dont not have the ability to upgrade my PC for MTW2 so i am back at MTW XL mod.

After looking through the list of countries (for the 1000th time it seems) i passed over my preferred novgorod faction and the English and realized in the hundreds of hours i have played MTW i never made a go of the Turks.

And so i begin. I will start on early, i have read the guide on the board and found the strategies to be good if your a blitzer. i am not really i prefer the turtling approach until i have my ducks in a row.

All this said a couple of questions mates:

1. Turks seem to have a wide variety of troops, which of these gives the best bang for the florin? i prefer horse missle moble armies but have evolved into a combined arms player for sure.

2. Which direction do i head? its either the Byz or Egypt.

3. Ribat and building specilizations by province, if you have a preference.

So any assistance would be great. i play XL mod on VH.

Thanks,

Odin
