Usac Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Northeast of Turkey, the Khazar empire grew in the 500s based on Tengriism. In the 700s however, that all changed for these users of cavalry and siege: they converted to Judaism and attempted to become a safehaven for Jewish peoples.This factor alone means there are few civs of the era even closely akin to the religiously tolerant Khazars.At the heart of the Khazar military is their Arsiyah, muslim mercenaries who fought in the saddle.Their armies, when on the attack, tended to protect siege engines: catapults and Ballistae, possibly even rams.The Khazars lasted to about the year 1000.While data on the Khazars is not as extensive as some civs, there's something to be said about a civ in the saddle with powerful siege.

niektb Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 If you want to discuss the faction line-up, I suggest you'd rather do it here: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17862Rather than open a topic for every faction you want to see in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavius Aetius Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 The Khazars I think are already being grouped underneath the Avars, which will cover all the Gok-Turkic factions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
