[NOTE: for those looking for the map, the link is at the bottom of the article…] I’m still quite impressed with this game – esp. due to the fact that it was a “garage project” made by a man and his wife in Turkey of all places! Anyways, here’s some specifics that I’ve found useful to know when playing the game: Best Units: Sarranid: Mamluke Calvary Swadian: Knight Calvary Khergit: Veteran Horse Archer Calvary Vaegir: Marksman Infantry Nord: Huscarl Infantry Rhodok: Sergeant Infantry So, using the tactic of being independent … Continue reading

But it’s just been very odd while I’m in this “limbo state” between jobs and permanent living arrangements. Plus the PC is in an upstairs, non air conditioned room, and with our near 100F temps, it’s just not very comfortable to sit and type for any length of time under those conditions.
