MTW Turks

Introduction

The Turks (faction colour light green) are a Muslim faction representing the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks. Even in the early period, despite facing a supreme Byzantine Empire, they have a fine selection of cavalry which are useful for classic Turkish warfare. They become very powerful later in the game, as they gain access to high quality Janissary and Ottoman units. They are also, along with the Russians, one of the two factions to have bow armed royal bodyguard units, the Sipahi of the Porte, although these only become available in the Late age.
