New Campaign Features
NEW GOVERNANCE SYSTEM
-Increased emphasis has been placed on Governours. Governours are now required in
order to build ALL military and political buildings in a settlement. In addition, having (or not having) a Governour in a settlement will have an increased effect on a settlement’s public order.
NEW REBEL ‘PERSONALITIES’
-Each initial rebel region ‘accurately’ depicts the group that historically controlled that region in 1080 A.D. So for example, should Cilician Armenia wish to siege Melitene, they will have to contend with Gavriel of Melitene, a Greek Orthodox Armenian who had risen from the ranks of the Byzantine army and governed the region at this time.
-Each rebel culture group has been given new strat map banners to add depth and atmosphere to the campaign map
-Rebel garrisons have been diversified to better depict a settlement’s initial garrison
-New rebel types with unique and diversified rebel pools added to better reflect a
region’s rebel make-up
REVISED AOR SYSTEM
-The AOR system has been completely revised to allow for more logical recruitment of
local units. Higher-class regional units are now available at higher-level military
buildings. Gaps in a region’s AOR system have, for the most part, been filled to make
construction of higher-level buildings worthwhile
-Several additional units (new and old alike) have been added to the AOR Recruitment
System
REVISED STARTING POSITIONS
-Care has been taken to give a faction the settlements they historically-held at the
start-date of 1080 A.D. Obviously, some factions will have it harder (or easier) than
others. All factions are not created the same. A Georgian campaign should be harder
than a Seljuk campaign.
