The Kingdom of Jerusalem (KoJ) is a Catholic Crusader faction along with the Principality of Antioch. The Kingdom of Jerusalem is also playable.
Starting Position
The Kingdom of Jerusalem starts with the key city of Jerusalem and a number of castles and towns in the area such as, Tyre and Kerak. The KoJ is situated in modern day Israel, Palestine and Lebanon. To the South are the Egyptians, who will prove to be your greatest enemy. To the east there the rebel settlements of Homs, Damascus and Balbek which will allow you to expand East. To the North there is the Principality of Antioch. You start with a large amount of armies, But are limited by the fact that egypt gains a few units very early on in the initial jihad .
Units
The KoJ's military power is centred around heavy cavalry such as, the Constable of Jerusalem and Knights of Jerusalem. They also have good infantry and access to mercinaries from the ports. Like Antioch, the Koj lack the mounted archers and missile units in general that the Islamic factions have.
A Very Brief History
The Kingdom of Jerusalem was established after the 1st Crusade in 1099. The City was captured by Godfrey de Boullion and his brother, Baldwin of Boulogne. It lasted less than 200 years, when in 1291 the last remaining Christian outpost of Acre fell to the Mamluks, under the command of Sultan Khalil.
