Himyar, the Jewish Caliphate

Im not alone in doing this right

No, Netanyahu is trying to do it right now. Ever heard of "Greater Israel"? >_>

I just (and finally) finished a campaign as the Himyarites; lots of fun, baltha's and armoured camel warriors basically wreck any of your pontential enemies. Also, Ashum are seriously underrated due to their high missile block chance. Then there are Rumha skirmishers - but they cause actual melee dmg, and have shieldwall as well.

It is very tough - verging on almost impossible, to get the final military buildings (75% of all provinces to be Semetic Pagan/Jewish) until at least after the minor victory of 425AD. I'm right now into the summer of 425AD, and I'm at 74.2% Jewish (faction-wide) and going up 0.2% per turn.

I'm in the middle of a Himyar campaign. Less than 20 rolls in I converted my whole faction to Eastern Christian.

The lulz will last for days..

Yes but that way you can't get anything more than minor victory, so maybe the jokes on you...

of course, it's perfectly fine to aim for just minor victory or doing lulzy things. One of the most fun things I did in this game is razing almost all my cities at turn 1 as western roman empire, and let the barbarians "have it" lmao

Yeah, just in it for fun. I want to take over all the relgions and then whipe them out with Hiymars special abilitys. Still trying to pick which of the may I want to come out on top. Too many good interesting ones. I'm the only faction left as Eastern Christians so I figure I might go pagan for a while and remove another religion from history.
