KoH seems to be great!

I like how the sieges work, how an important siege (or one you started ill-prepared) can totally get the focus of an entire turn

Would be cool to PBEM, say, the 2nd Crusade scenario.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

gave a solitaire test to the egyptian civil war scenario as well. Very interesting how it presents you with a quite different situation. You have the regular VP spaces to fight over between the christians and the seljuks, but there is the very lucrative Egypt, but that is quite bothersome to reach and conclude the civil war there in your favour, as non-fatimid forces must disperse during winter regardless of any normally applicable exceptions.

That is not really the question.  The question is really if you can keep up and not make me pull my hair out from correcting your rules-fu.  :P

Aye, I really like that scenario from a gameplay standpoint.  The Kingdom of Jerusalem is stable and able to project power.  So what does it do?  Picks a fight in Egypt while ignoring the building threat on its borders!

I also like the "Kingdom of Heaven" (3rd Crusade) scenario because of its situation--Saladin conquering all before him only to suddenly have a massive Crusader army appear on turn 4, after which he has to batten down the hatches and survive.
