wow @SilverShield, if I didn't know better I'd say you like forts. At least I get the satisfaction of knowing you are spending 2-3k on them /turn. In any case, brilliant move with that blockade.

Still, some good news for us as well. The army attacking Belgrade was beaten off, and the Moors have been destroyed.

Well played @LooseCannon1, you really help out quite a long time considering you had 4 factions going after you.

anyway, @Mithridate

Mithridate told me about a problem with the jihads. only two cities in spain are even eligible so thats a problem for us. is there any way that all the cities in the north are up too? im clueless but if i had Mith right there is a way. he probably is more aware of the problem and chimes in. just had it brought up here now so anyone knows whats up

[SilverShield]

It wasn't just the ballista... :)

As to the Jihad's, I don't think any northern targets are on the list of possible targets, so they will never be available. I'm not sure how we can deal with that though as it does seem rather unfair. It is possible that venice is a possibility, but I wouldn't count on it.

[phonicsmonkey]

Maybe you could mod whatever file the targets are listed in. Depends of course whether that file is read just once at the start of the campaign or whether it can be changed mid-way through

I wish I could remember which file it is, but I have a feeling it is one that is read only at the start... :(

[Mithridate]

Will play my turn when i wake up

We cant call any Jihad unless you mod the targets or change the rules...
Btw all targets are neighbors in about the same unimportant area -.-'

All the rest of the targets are held by the crusader states!
If you dont mod the targets then at least allow us to Jihad a non-target region

[Thanatos Eclipse]

I thought we already agreed you don't have to jihad a target? The last jihad/crusade weren't target settlements. You guys had toledo I believe and we crusaded against that small town in southwest iberia.

Although I think the crusader states would be a great place to jihad :P

[Mithridate]

Sorry it took so long

Playing my turn now and calling Jihad on non-target city, will make the best of it
Only possible target, IBERIA HERE I COME :D

The Jihad is a more defensive mechanic. It's meant for you to reclaim the Catholic's target cities, while crusades are meant to help Catholics get their targets.

Turn 4 of holding Cordoba +5 points

Total Catholic points 30/100

i got this up later today

[SilverShield]

last shot at the city of venice. its a suicide mission with the balista and the catapult inside the city and if that was an regular game without the shot clock down against us that action was just total nonsense but whatever its game over for us anyway if we dont score now so its worth a shot. and those are brave crusaders they ready to die they ready to sacrifice. die in dignity my friends. those brave soldiers. but even if they down its way less bad than that terrain gaffe when i went for the city first. if it wasnt for that the game took a whole nother direction. but whatever u win one u lose one .tho my general got the holy lance with him so what about some lil miracle there

venice up

NB thats the new file. use this on pls in case u dont read ur mails before downloading

well, the army attacking venice was indeed destroyed by its brave defenders,

As to your men's bravery and the supposed Holy Lance. The Lance was clearly a fake, as god chose to have your general struck directly by a enormous flaming rock XD

After that, your men's confidence seemed to fail rather dramatically.

(seriously, I think I had a lot of luck on my side, after the lucky catapult hit, all your troops started running whenever my cavalry so much as got near them, it was very unusual.)

Still, Ancona is sure to fall as my men couldn't make it there to save their friends. Still, it is sure to be reclaimed soon. :)
I must say, every turn is feeling like a desperate struggle to hold on Silver. You really are doing an amazing job.

Also, I see those three jihad armies in the balkans @Mithridate. :) remember that now makes them ineligible to fight any of my forces there.

Seljuks up!

Leon up. @Thanatos Eclipse

I'm learning the good and bad things from this fist game and already I have an idea for a sequel that will keep the team battles and target cities which make this game interesting but will balance out the factions more and remove crusades/jihads as a mechanic (but still there might be some benefits added for simulating them).
