Arab conquest scenario

[Scurcus]

is the scenario too easy for the arabs?

i think they may have too good units but arabia at least have kind of difficult economy, so they have something against them at least..

not really because if you don't pay a lot of attention for your troops after the bzantium and persian wars your reserves of riders are uterly depleted and you need to build a whole new army to gain anything.

Looks very good,started a game as Byzantines.

For Fairness,should I declare war on Arabs or will they declare war soon enough (playing on Monarch)?

I have tried to make the arabs as aggressive as i could, but i don´´t know how soon they attack so for historical accurasy you should declare war on both arabs and persians.

Each turn a year?Then it's 690 now;Damascus,Jerusalem,Heliopolis,Alexandria,Antiochia,Aghtamar fell pretty quickly.Ephesos was razed,but then I killed the first Arabian rider and pushed them back.Retook Antiochia 644,even captured Persian Ardebil.653 Arabs razed Antiochia,but then Arabs remained quiet (I thought).Freed Aghtamar,conquered Mossul.But in 668 Arabs began storming again,captured Aghtamar,Ancyra,Seleukia,then turned to razing,destroying Trebizond,Sinop,Cherson.I have assmebled a large force in Constantinople,but their riders hurried through the Balkans and are nearing Greece.
Adding to this,Goths have burned down Venice and captured Ravenna.But for this Visigoths have captured 2 Goths cities,so they won't march forward.But I fear,soon Asia and Greece will be completely lost to the Muslims.
