I amassed over 75% of the starting military units, called a Jihad on Jerusalem and continued to get the JK castles up coast, ignoring rebel cities.Īll went well untill I reached Banyas where the biggest battles of all times began. Egypt has the strength to do it and they must do it ASAP. Your first and obvious task is to wipe out the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. Apparently even more easier than the Byzantines due to their perfect starting location and easy to get objectives.ġ. Egypt’s enemies will face a good all round army that contains elite heavy cavalry in the form of the Khassaki and devastating ranged units such as the Sibyan al-Khass.Along with the Byzantines, I considered this faction a very easy one to play with. Alternatively an alliance with the Turks would also have the Crusaders facing a united Muslim front whilst allowing Egypt to expand westward and northwards in peace for a short while. The winner of that struggle will in effect inherit the strongest Muslim empire in western Syria as well as the duty of defending the western Islamic world from the Frankish Crusaders.Įgypt must defeat Nur ad- Din as soon as possible to avoid fighting both the Crusaders and Nur ad-Din at the same time. It seems inevitable that Salah al-Din will have to face the wrath of his former master in the north sooner or later. Salah al-Din has revitalised Egypt’s military and economy making Egypt the growing power in the Middle East. With its new ruler at the helm, Egypt grows from strength to strength.
Originally sent by his master, Nur ad-Din, to govern Egypt in his name, the ambitious Salah al-Din soon set about creating his own powerbase on the Nile. Until recently Egypt had been the centre of the Fatmid Empire, however Egypt’s former rulers grew weak and were eventually deposed by a cunning Kurdish general by the name of Salah al-Din.
