1092 Mod

[Tunch Khan]

I was thinking of working on a new mod that starts in 1092 instead of 1066 since within those 26 years the whole geography of the region had changed.
After the Manzikert War in 1071, Seldjuk Turks poured into Asia Minor and advanced till Aegean and Nikaea. This was the actual reason for the call of emergency for the Crusades. I would appreciate any contribution.

1092 scenario, It sounds very attractive to me.
Hastings scenario does not make us experience the true threat of Turkey.

I have come to two Turkish Beydoms in Asia Minor, one of Caka Bey in Symrna, Samos, Rodos and Khios; and one of Kilicarslan I with Nikaea as capital and all the way to Angora. There is an Armenian Kingdom with Malatya, Edessa and to the east.
What are your suggestions?

I think a 1092 scenario would be a great idea. Those who want to play with a setup that matches the beginning of the First Crusade would love it.

And it might get those Byzantium haters off our backs

I'd enjoy getting a set up scenario where the goal for Byzantium is to duplicate what Alexius Comnenus did.

You know, it's too bad that the Byzantine Emperor can't, as a diplomatic option, ask for a crusade...

That is, after all, how it began.
