new - the crusades 1200ad

by **CHAMPOS** on Fri Oct 12, 2007 11:21 am

let the games commence - any comments welcome...

catholics 4 armies
islamic 4 armies
orthodox 3 armies
mongol 3 armies
pagan 3 armies
jewish 2 armies (countries marked with star of david)
all these religions were battling it out in europe in 1200ad

the crusades
if you own at least one of the above religions then you get an additional army bonus of 2 for holding Papal States or Holy Lands (and 6 armies for holding both with a religion)

note - the carpathian mountains are impassable.

Is the line around Hungary impassable? Maybe you could mention that somewhere. Also, this needs to be moved to Map Ideas.

EDIT: Are the continent bonuses meant to be x2, x3, etc? I'm not sure if the current XML supports multiplication of armies.

colors of continents and map key don't match

the mountains are impassable

the number of armies is 2,3 or 4 - not 2x, 3x, 4x

Even if maps are very far along in their first draft they need to be in Map Ideas for a bit as per the current policy, so I moved you.

I'm wondering how the army number will fit on Papal States, otherwise I like where this is going.

This is not the first idea and/or draw of the crusaders 1200 AD.
In the beginning there was already one Topic with the same continents and bonuses. Was that one also from you, CHAMPOS?
