A cry that for over a century terrified opponents of the English kings. This map pits Arab Archers against European Archers. to the left of the river you have Arab outposts producing archers and to the right of the river European outposts producing archers. Many players believe that Arab archers are better than European archers. I believe them to be equal in the game. In reality the English longbow was probably the better weapon ,however, most European armies used the short bow which was inferior. This map gives you the oportunity to compare the game versions of these weapons.
a very nice idea for extreme! however i think you used too much grass.

Thanks for the comments guys. Too much grass? You may be right but in my defense, I didn't want to limit resources, instead I wanted the focus to be on the use of bows. I have several maps for Crusader that that limit resources forcing the player to concentrate on using the available resources. "A CATASTROPHE" is good example of this. However, as I said, you may be right. I just wanted to explain why the map isn't limited in resources.

Surasubba thank you for your kind comments. They are much appreciated. For those new to Crusader who haven't played Surasubba's maps you are missing some of the finest work ever done in Crusader.
