I knew that Jannissaries would be a great replacement for the core of my armies but never having played the turks I never bothered to fathom thier cost. If I understand it correctly, there is a valor bonus for them in bulgaria, and it takes a grand mosque and a military academy to get them.Originally Posted by Caravel
Thats an expensive unit.... I certainly have the florins, but if my assumption is correct that means they can only be built in one province.
Having played for years I know that the mongol event can be crippling, thus my concern for a northern expansion. I guess my question should have been, do I expend my energies for the next 25 years on prep for the mongols, or expansion north of my empire?You'll have to secure Georgia, Armenia, Khazar, and Volga Bulgaria from the mongols. They can appear in any of those provinces, though usually always Khazar. If you don't prepare you will lose a lot of your core provinces, but it makes for an interesting campaign.
I can probaly do both but it would come down to my generalship, not my troop superiority should I choose both. While I am confident I can defeat the AI 95% of the time, I do struggle with the mongols, I always have.
Also I do have multiple training depots for armored and non armored units (including AHC). I like AHC they fit my style, just thought the Turks might get a better unit in 1205.
