They’re so strong with the nomad DLC lmao

I don’t think the Bedouins are horse archers that might be why

I got stack wiped

I tried that against the Mongols. I had a 2:1 number advantage

Had my 2,500 men at arms standing there and they attacked me with 12,000 tribesmen

they took the bait

Rushed in the other armies and stacked wiped them.

Took one of their primary holdings in the Sarawat Mountains then I split my army into 8 (yes, you read that right) and stuck the MaA in the mountain pass with the other 7 chunks behind them

Then I had to do some Battle of Thermopylae shit to beat the Bedouin Confederation to form the empire

Come on find out I had harmonious succession so my primary heir got all the titles anyway.

You finally got that start down lmao

yeah I almost goofed it because I thought I had enough counties to go to the empire title but I was 30 off. So I’m panicking because my ruler was 65 and I just made a second kingdom title

It was a master class of micromanaging though if I do say so myself. Used my MaA to smash Krete, sent my levies and my holy order to crush the Byzantines and then even though I goofed by sending my levies to Persia without my MaA, just merc’d up and smacked around the 20,000 Seljuks

Or w/e

Than quantum leap to some random dynasty and deal with say, your grandson being completely unable to hold it

Now it’s time to do fucky shit with culture/religion/custom titles if you want

You finally got that start down lmao

Yeah idk if you saw my earlier image this morning about finally getting to the Arabian Empire starting as the Emir of Palestine. I’m less than 100 years in but I just simultaneously beat the Kingdom of Krete, a Byzantine led Holy War and a Seljuk invasion with one ally all while making 50.1 GPT with my entire army raised so it’s like…

I have fun restarting in the “alt history” of a play through

Was going to continue my Java playthrough adventuring throughout Asia but the recent update (+ associated mod updates) killed that save
