Actually my laptop internet is much better now and you can frankly go and suck John Locke's maggot dick; however, I imagine you'll have to wrestle Walt from it first.

Why do i need a mod to unlock factions?
Do you have any idea where that information is stored?
Fuck it, i'll go rumage the pages of that cursed site.

This game's campaign mode has got some serious glitches/bugs.
The AI is indeed retarded, BarnDoor. I hate the bit where i make a sortie and the enemy comes within range of my cannon towers and just sit there until they are annihilated. How fucking stupid is that.
Also, my game's Aleppo map is messed up. It crashes whenever i try to fight a battle there. :S
Needless to say, it's proving to be a real bitch because it is a key stronghold right between me and the fucking Timurid scum, who somehow keep coming up with troops even though they've only got three cities left. What kind of nonsense is that?

Well I think patch 1.2 is coming out soon, but I'm not sure if that'll fix much. This is why Medieval I is so good, the AI is fucking brilliant in that. Ever since Medieval its been a case of style over substance for me. Don't get me wrong, I love Rome and Medieval II, but they just lack the depth of Medieval for me, it had something very special about it.

In case someone is interested, i found some cheats whilst looking for some way to unlock all the factions.

I wasn't too impressed with the Egyptians.
When i first saw the Mamluks, i was extremely disappointed. They look exactly like Granadine Jinetes...until you upgrade their armour. They look good when they're fully upgraded and they fight like frenzied demons, but i was expecting more from one of the most renowned military units of that era.
What i was delighted to see, were those Tabbardyyia (sp) bastards. They have twenty in attack, which is insane. Defending the Holy land is not going to be as difficult as i expected. All in all, playing Egypt is not bad. My greatest city, economy wise, is Alexandria. It already produces around 5400 gold each turn, which is very respectable. I am already the greatest faction in the known world and the Mongols have just made their entrance. Luckily, they are moving westward right now, so i don't have to worry about them whilst i crush the crusaders.
I think CA got a little cheap with their skins. Too many units have the same base. Many Nubian units look like Berber units, which i thought was silly. I'm going to go look for proper skins, or find out how they are created.

I'm not going to install an entire mod just for a couple of skins. I remember finding individual skins for some units in Rome. Greek units mostly, like Hoplites and Spartans.
I just saw the Royal Mamluks. :happy:

I don't like what they've done with Nubian warriors. They look the part once you raise them, but as soon as they upgrade their armour they resemble Berber or Tuareg units. That's just silly, imo.
See how cool they look before.
After armour upgrade. :no:
I want to have frenzied black demons on the field, not more Berber looking mutherfuckers.

First of all, i'd like to introduce the Tabardiyya to those of you that do not know them. These gentlemen are not to be fucked with. One of the most powerful units in the game. I love them as though they were my own children.
Now, these are Granadine Jinetes:
And these are the Hashashim. If you noticed, they used an M instead of an N.
Sega are such cheap bastards.

I've Just finished the work on my Medieval mod for the original game and have finally had a chance to play the game again but I just end up fighting a colonial battle of some sort with the Spanish against the Aztecs or a Portuguese army against an Almohad army made up of African Units.
Heres a tip you should try for carnage. Set a siege battle with just city requirements. Have a small but well disciplined and upgraded spanish army against a horde of Aztecs. Give the Aztecs one ladder. The whole mob will attempt to storm the walls but the A.I is so shit they won't attempt to come back down the ladder unless routed. I moved my organ gun and a culverin outside the gate and within a few yards from the enemy and just blasted away causing hundreds of casualties. They just stood there and took it until my cannon brought a piece of the wall section down taking a few of men but hundreds more Indians to a well deserved death. That was it, they ran with their general being hacked down by some artillery men who ran in to complete the victory. Some mounted Conquistadors finished off the survivors.
