The Turks are a [[Islam|Muslim]] faction that control most of modern day turkey (which is where it got its name, previously this area was known as Asia Minor) and Armenia. This faction can be considered one of the winners of the period as they both pushed westwards, taking Constantinople in 1453 and forming one of the worlds major powers, the Ottoman empire, which lasted for around 500 years. (Constantinople remained under Turkish control, becoming known as Istanbul and developing into modern day Turkey's most populous city)

The Turks have a changing army to reflect the change in rulers from the Seljuk's to the Ottoman's, in the beginning of the campaign the Turks will rely on their horse archers to win most battles, as their infantry leaves a lot to be desired, only Saracen militia, dismounted cavalrymen and [[jihad|jihading]] troops can hold their own in melee, early Turkish archers are fairly effective so long as they stay out of melee's.
