The Crusades?

[Alcibaides]

Well there is no hurry. If someone else comes and wants the Byzantines or Turks then take HRE, otherwise take Byzantines.

I am working on the Events file now.

In terms of House rules, I was thinking we keep it simple. If noone plays as HRE, then no attacking the AI controled HRE. If they attack you then you can retaliate but try to make peace asap.

Should we say "No building new cities, only re-establishing raized ones"? I think that is a good one.

Aside from that, is there any other House Rules needed?

Should I post the actual game thread here or in a new thread?

I have no idea how to determine the play order.....

The tech "Catholic Philosophy" has "No" instead of "Nil" as its prerequisit, I'm assuming it's a mistake as it would otherwise make it impossible to reach a lot of the other techs, including the future tech.
It's easy to fix, but I thought I ought to mention it.

I would start a new thread or edit the name of this thread and add the play order to the first post.

I think the order would be:

Turkish
Arabs
Germans (AI)
Spanish
French
Anglo-Normans
Byzantine

OK, I will do. By the way, I incorporated all of the new rules we said. Except that the Seljuk and Jihadi unit still have just 1 movement, but they do treat all squares as roads and ignore enemy zones of control. I also added 1 defence to the various barbarian infantry units to make taking barbarian cities a little harder.

The Turks get 4 Sipahi in Persia, the Arabs get 4 Moorish Cavalry, 2 in Arabia and 2 in Africa.

By the way, it is the Byzantines to begin, not the Turks.

Ok, I have posted a game thread, the Byzantines play first, so Atze start playing as the Byzantines and if we get a 7th player you can swap over to the HRE. Does that sound good?

Atze to begin....
