Okay, I hate this mission. It has even soured me on Plenty since I never realized the vaults in this one were weaker. On retrospect, it's probably caused by the fact I always just turtled at the start and never really relied on cavalry. Gotta say fortifying the middle of the map like that was impressive as hell, especially that first fight around the palaces.

You absolute maniac. So, do you have those speedrun times recorded somewhere? Is there even a community speedrunning RTS games?

Yeah, that never ceases to amaze me.

I like this mission a lot, all the options make for an extremely welcome change from the linear snorefests that was the non-building missions in the base game. Cyclops/Valkyrie/Hydra was my usual army composition for this, nice to see it done with manticores.

Well, some quick googling tells me Ibn Battuta wrote his name as أبو عبد الله محمد ابن عبد الله اللواتيا لطنجي ابن بطوطة which seems to translate to "Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Lawati Al Tanji Ibn Battuta" which seems to be more of a set of identifiers than a name; then again, in the Middle Ages people quite often identified themselves by the place where there from and what their ancestors were up to. And a splendid episode, as always.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Chinese unit roster; frankly can't really make heads or tails of that faction.

Carpator Diei posted:On a possibly more positive note, I came across a mod that replaces the Chinese faction with Aztecs and looks rather impressive. It's always nice when modders outdo the source material, though in this case the bar wasn't exactly the highest.

I always liked the idea of this mission on paper, but the execution is abysmal - this is where I always quit the Chinese campaign.

One thing I never noticed before - the gate to the underworld in the intro looks rather Egyptian. They couldn't even be bothered to update the model.
