Hi!
Johan has said that there will be very difficult to maintain a large, centralized empire, so it will probably not be that easy as it might look. And as you play as a dynasty that will be very different from "our" french dynasty, the France you have will probably not be the France we know of, if it's called France at all.
The Mameluks will probably not be like we know them either, or more probably; they wont be in the game at all. Either there is one or more muslim countries there instead, or if your crusades have been successfull, there will be one or more crusadr states there.
BTW, you as "France" probably wont be in direct possession of the Holy Land, as it's a long way from home, but you'll maybe have a vassal there.
Maybe more?
Hope that answers your questions, but bear in mind that very few of us actually know much, and the ones that know wont say anything(if not Johan or Fredrik suddenly feel.....informative
