Wow. Impressive Seljuk handling.
Though I would be surprised if Ankara made it.

Thank the council for their impressive policies. Each member has a province, and they all decided to give a little aid to Iraq, knowing what is to come.
For this term, because it will be so action packed, I will have to release updates in segments, as I will constantly have to consult with the council members to get advice on army positioning or whatnot.
You can see the whole decision-making process here:

For the record I think we should have built more catapults and fewer trebuchets.

Really? I always build the most advanced unit, but that makes sense since catapults are easier to make and still do collateral.
I just thought of the wildest idea. Battles in Civ look really boring. I was thinking of using Medieval total war to picture some of these battles. What do you guys think?

I like the thought, but don't think thats doable. Civ battles have no tactics in them. Just load a huge number of units and you can take on a stack of smaller size. Actual battles aren't just simple numbers games. In RTS games you can win over a larger army with a smaller army but that's not possible in civ.

I feel like if civ allowed some form of real time strategy in every fight as well as giving the option for the percentages, it would make THE perfect game.

I was hoping they would make Civ 5 like that or something near it. But not quite

Well sorry to be the opposing opinion but I'm glad it isn't RTS. I would, however, like strategy like turn based or tactical based, just not Real-Time like Total War or King Arthur 1 and 2.
Also, what will be my job if I lose and what are my chances of winning the siege.

First of all, don't worry. I have a feeling that we will not lose Anadol yet. The armies we have in play are huge, and should be able to ward off the Seljuk threat. The worst case scenario would be losing Anqarah for several turns, but retrieving it eventually.
If we do lose Anqarah however, then we have other options not related directly to province management. I still need a naval officer, for example. We also have I think two settlers that could be used to found new cities and therefore new provinces. I'm thinking a good province to have would be Libya.

The car is arguably more advanced than the sailing boat, yet you would still prefer the latter over the former if you had to cross a sea, no?
Trebuchets are specialized towards taking cities, while catapults are superior when attacking stacks in the open.

After the successful protection of Iraq from the blades of the Seljuks, the armies were were fatigued, yet it is known now that the major urban center of Dar al-Anadol, Anqarah, it being surrounded by the Seljuks from all sides.
The Horde of the Rashideen acted out of its own initiative and quickly travelled to Anqarah to defend the front lines. The soldiers fought valiantly, and struck fear into the hearts of the Seljuks thee. The Mujahidin live on in paradise, departed from this world. Meanwhile, it appears that part of the horde travelled West with the intention of assaulting Constantiniyya:
Armories were opened, walls were occuped, siege weapons were manned. The Anqarah peoples have a clear resolve; victory or Martyrdom:
Ghulam Assault, 1072 A.D:
Being protected by walls and a river crossing, Anqarah was able to defend its western flank and cause collateral damage to the major encampment across the river:
Meanwhile, the battle plans picked up from the Defence of Iraq revealed that the Seljuks planned to camp on roads between Iraq and Syria to rob caravans and disrupt trade. Soldiers were sent to protect those trade routes:
One of the council members hailing from Dar Misr ash-Shamali felt so much compassion for his brothers and sisters in the Eastern region, that he joined the military campaign there. His presence among the ranks of the Mujahidin will surely increase their morale:
A snapshot of the situation in the East. The combined armies of the Ummah have retaken control of the area, and the Seljuk encampments are getting smaller. Alp Arslan is starting to think that he will lose his war. And such is the fate of all who wage war against the Muslimeen:
Trek towards al-Sham:
The Seljuk army from Anwarah's Eastern flank retreated south, with the intention of taking a Syrian city instead. Their scouts must have reported that the province is not heavily fortified. reinforcements were quickly sent to the province:
Final Assault of Anqarah:
In a desperate attempt to earn a victory, Ghulam warriors once again tried to break down the impenetrable city. This time, they managed to catch troops off guard when the gates were somehow opened by a traitor. The prisoners who were caught claimed that a Buddhist man helped them open the gates.
Their western army was choked slowly to death with bombardments and raids, until the remainder of the force finally gave in, and were taken as captives:
Pincers of the Ummah:
The last major tumour remained at the crossroads from Syria to Iraq, where the Seljuk army fled. The armies from Syria moved to the south while the armies stationed in Anqarah moved to the north, choking the encampment like the claws of a scorpion. Al-Nayet Hooki also fought in this battle:
Surrounded from all sides, there was no refuge for the Seljuks. They cannot even return to their homeland. Death in blood and sand, with n ohope for paradise. How pitiful. Many soldiers surrendered and asked for forgiveness. Seeing as they were still Muslims in the end, al-Nayet Hooki allowed some to repent sincerely:
The End of the First Seljuk Invasion:
The Ummah is now as it is meant to be; secure from foreign aggression. A lot of homes, farms and mines were destroyed by the hordes. How will the council clean up this mess?

I think it will be impossible to tackle turkey without giving up a province, so in the mean time, we need to start founding new provinces.
