Using this, the empire could reconquer all of the de jure territories of the late Roman Empire and recreate it in the middle ages. In the DLC "Legacy of Rome" the Byzantine Empire receives a new type of invasion unique to them: Imperial Reconquest. But they generally survive to the end game From there, the empires fortunes will fluctuate, and a lot depends on the impact of the hordes on the Muslim world and the stability of the Seljuks. In the case of AI versus AI, the Byzantines usually fight off the Seljuk invasion of Armenia, but usually lose the invasion that the Fatimid launch towards either Anatolia or Greece which is launched some time afterwards. They are often aggressive against the Byzantines, but frequent Crusades for Jerusalem can easily distract them and make for an easy war.īyzantine armies are mostly heavy infantry, as is the case for most Christian factions. To the south lies the Fatimid kingdom of Egypt.
Also, despite the size disparity, both sides are relatively evenly matched in numbers, and the terrain favors the defending Byzantines. The Seljuk empire is larger than the Byzantine one, but its weakness lies with the Seljuk leader kill the leader and the empire will be ripped apart by its vassals, eliminating the threat from the east. At the 1066 start it is faced with an invasion from the Seljuk Turks. The Byzantine Empire is one of two empires (the other being the Holy Roman Empire) that has already beenįormed at the start of the game.
