About This Content

Sicily 1061 is based on the conquest of Sicily by the Normans in the early Middle ages. Two players fight for the realm: the Normans, led by Robert and Roger and their powerful Knights, facing multiple Muslim local lords and their troops, and both side using circumstancial allies that shift sides frequently, all vying for the total control of the island.

Sicily 1061 lasts 40 turns each representing about 6 months, between early 1061 and late 1081 AD. It opposes two players over the control of Sicily: a Norman player and a Muslim confederations of Caïds (a.k.a. Caidas).

Forces of those sides are not similar.

• The Caidas Muslims have numerous possibilities to raise local levies and can count on their famous archers, as well as from potentially strong, but costly, reinforcements from Africa.

• The Normans and their allies in have an impressive cavalry of Knights and excellent leaders, but are few in numbers.
