Nice aar sir. So you're going to be playing Great Seljuqs next. Enjoy those massive bodyguards they get for their generals, those guys are tough.

Might I suggest for future (BC) AAR's;
Ghorids- awesome assault infantry, good cavalry, and no spears
Abbasids- dude, it's the Caliphate of Baghdad...plus the awesome Black Flag tm

I'm looking forward to it after Makuria's fairly weak bodyguards.

Abbasids are definately on the list, although the next one after the Seljuks will probably be in a different region. Ghorids might be a nice change after two fairly infantry weak factions.

Yeah those Kabulis ain't bad for the cheap price.

I'm liking pwning many Rajput elephants with those Turcoman Jav-cav

And Sultan Mohammed is one bad mother******. (as quoted from the Makurian King)

Alright, I know I said I'd play the Great Seljuks for the next one, but after reading about the Abassid's terrible performance in this (excellent) Eastern Roman Empire AAR, I feel I have to win their honor back, so I'm going to play an Abassid one first. First update should be up in the Throne Room sometime today.

Very nice AAR sir! I have only really started playing BC yesterday as the Georgians and have to say it is big. big fun. Reading your story was very nice and I have to admit I would have thought you would complete your goals without any doubt....could I have been more wrong.

Now heading for the seljuk AAr :)

Zim, when fighting Ayyubid armies, did you find that they had low morale?
Because in my Makuria campaign I find that they have extremely low morale, in fact, I think that's the only reason I can beat them.
