Just how exactly will Byzantium be handeled? Will Manzekirt be an event?
Also, will there be events for changing dynasties like from Macedonian-Comnenus?

Zoe had been dead for 16 years in 1066... The Emperor was Constantine X Ducas.Originally posted by CCR_of_the_Code
Who was the emporer in 1066? Zoe?
I dont really understand how this will work- without the tretcheries on the Battlefield of Manzekirt, the Komnenus would crush the Fatimids and Normans on the steel of thier boot!

No way- if it was not for the arrogance of Micheal Psellus and his bi*ch Emporer, it seems likely that the Turks would have just expanded south.
Romanus Diogense without Manzekirt could have been interesting- he would have killed Psellus and the other courtiers and could have been a sort of Basil III.

Alp Arslan of Seljuks never considered invading Asia Minor in full force. The Turkish army, in fact, was heading for Damascus when the Byzantines entered Seljuk-held Armenia, forcing Alp Arslan to abondon his plans for Syria and meet the Byzantine threat instead. Most Turkish textbooks also fail to mention that Alp Arslan pleaded for peace, unsuccessfully.

that seems in keeping with something i read about manzikert being "a routine border mission" gone horribly wrong...
