Broken Crescent Hotseat: Commanders of the Faithful

lol. Are spies in or out???

I would personally rather be able to use spies. I respect the opinion of Ramses, too. But we've all seen Lemongate's ability with inferior Roman forces and being outnumbered. I don't think he'll be easy prey with superior forces and plenty of them! Mongol AI is challenging, but certainly beatable. I doubt the same will be the case for Mongol, human controlled (or, rather, "Lemon powered" ).

Also, confining the mongols to siege weapons will really slows their pace. As it is now, I think the Mongols have early game advantage. Our armies aren't really very prepared and built up to the efficiency of the Mongol stacks Lemon will start off with. If Lemon is forced to trudge through with siege equipment, rather than be able to blitz and sack cities to gain additional income (holding cities he considers defensible) I think we take a key advantage away from the Mongols, not to them. It will be our responsibility to hold off a Mongol blitz and build up our forces, hopefully gaining the advantage later in the game.

But that's all just my opinion. Regardless, I'm definitely with you on the banning of assassins and spreading the plague.
