Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 2:17 pmAh well, what places are left?
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 2:18 pmWhat part of this screams historical accuracy to you? In this history, my empire ruled Anatolia to Libya, divided, Iran is Zoroastrian, as are a lot of places, and in general, everything is different.

You could make an Outremer Christian state. I was tempted to do that.

Plus, wouldn't it be beneficial to have another nearby Christian state? From what I've seen, there's almost no one else in the Balkan region for possible alliances/trade or rivalry. Could make the game more interesting in that region.

Its only 300,000, and not all of them are active-duty.

Ten percent max in peace time and even then your economy and peasantry are suffering.
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 4:37 pmWhat my current number is showing (150,000) is maximum size for my military, it will be much smaller otherwise, like 10,000. Is that alright?
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 4:41 pmOh. Then that's alright, I suppose.

OOC: If someone would be kind enough to add me on the map. I have 20 provinces, all in green. The purple dot is my capital. It's by Crimea.
Population: 300,000
Army size (should never exceed 10% of population during peacetime): 23,000
3000 horse archers
8000 throwing axemen
4000 light cav
6000 militia
2000 slaves
50 longboats
~100 various siege weapons
Military Speciality: maneuverability
Military Weakness: army is made up of mostly untrained and undisciplined militia, leather armour and chainmail is mostly used, weak navy
Unique Units (Maximum 3):
Throwing axemen
Axemen make up a significant portion of Tusajleir's army. They are especially deadly when lined up in formation. They, like their name implies, throw their axes. They have one battle axe, which they weild with two hands, and they have a couple of smaller axes, in which they throw.
kaleic horse archers
As a staple of any nomadic nation, these horse archers are the embodiment of Tusajleir. They are the most respected in the tribe, and most feared in central asia. Coupled with The Lehta, they are most troublesome for the unprepared tribes of the steppes. They typically circle around the enemy and fire from all sides.
lehta light cavalry
They are bred specifically for traveling vast distances and raiding the many villages of the Asian steppes. They were light armour as there was no need when fighting the small tribes of the steppes. They wield a scimitar-type sword, indicting this fighting force has been in contact, or rather conflict, with Arabic tribes.
