Best Muslim Faction is?

I am getting a bit bored playing christian and orthodox factions, I have before played with the moors but tehy did not convince me...

So who is better now: Egypt or Turkey?

Who has some really cool units?

Timurids. They have it all.

EDIT: ohh between Egypt and Turkey ? Hard call, Egypt has Mamluks. I've only played with Turks though, so can't really offer anything much of substance, except I LOVE playing the Turks.

I really enjoy the Turks, their early armies are a blast to play with, as almost all of them have bows. Their biggest challenge is dealing with heavy cavalry, but once the Janissaries get rolling, they have the potential to form THE strongest armies of any faction.

The Turks are good all-around, infantry and cavalry-wise. The Egyptians have Mamluks, which are good troops, but Turks have sipahis which IMO is just as good anyway. Haven't really played Egyptians, only fought them, but I'd go with Turks just because they're so well-rounded. Great starting area as well.
