Muslim factions...Especially Turks...

A bit weak? Egypt for example does not get camels. Turkish infantry stats on the other hand are so poor. Yes you have to use them as hybrid inf which pins enemy inf and weaken them before the engagement like in MTW1 yet now in MTW2 they cannot kill enough to make the stats even because western inf armour is way too heavy and they do not loose much when you pin them.

Egypt SHOULD get camels like before and Turkish hybrid infs missle stats should be made better in order to balance their force with western inf.

What do you guys think?

Kyo how come that you have specificaly addressed Turkish faction? hehe

I would say that Turks are playable in high era and even in late. Overall I agree that there are factions which are considerably stronger then others ( based on the unit tpye selection criteria ).

Turkish hybrid infs missle stats should be made better in order to balance their force with western inf.

Despite few of their infantry units like JHI are probably the strongest infantry unit in the game, they have poor infantry selection overall.

I played some games yesterday. First against Kanuni and his Turks, later using Turks - they seem to be nice. Fast medium cav and quit high morale.
Alan cav a bit too expensive but fight well.

I never found the Turnks to be paticulary challeging, their cheap horse archers and Nafatun can really do some damage. Especially if you only have early period units.

My Early Turks army is the same as my High Turks Army, strange eh :) On Early theyre possibly the best faction.

Egypt will be better once the two handed bug is fixed and the axe unit will be effective. I also think Saracen MIlitia are a very undervalued unit, ive seen them hold well longer than their stats suggest.

Ask Aonar how my Turks did against him
