Romanos Diogenes acceded to the imperial throne of the Eastern Roman Empire. Fierce armies of Seljuk Turks are at the gate, ravaging eastern border towns and sending annual raids and campaigns into Roman lands. Beset by political intrigue in Constantinople and taking command of a fragile army, Romanos has little time to assemble the largest Roman army in over a century to repel the forces of Sultan Alp Arslan before the Empire collapses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeljuk, volume V of Volko Ruhnke's Levy \u0026 Campaign series, immerses players in the challenges of medieval logistics and maneuvering across Asia Minor as Orthodox Christian and Muslim powers clash in the lead-up to the Battle of Manzikert. Players will take on the role of either the Eastern Romans or the Seljuk Turks as they seek to leave their mark on this historic land. Asymmetrical victory objectives and unique new additions to the Levy \u0026 Campaign system mean a dynamic game of cat and mouse between these two great powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Seljuks are on the offensive with large numbers of Turkish horsemen, fast mounted units adept at ranged combat with composite bows.
