Read Me First - Jerusalem Conquest & Lazarus
Although this game has a similar appearance to ROK and EOA it is important to understand that it is different. ROK and EOA is strictly about battles, but in Jerusalem Conquest you do get historic information and game play. Instead of races as in ROK you are presented with 'Templars', 'Jews' and 'Saladinians'. Each has a religious cause they were fighting for, but this game is NOT about religion, it is simply another reenactment of the conquest for Jerusalem.

What Is New Here
Some of you who are already familiar with ROK may be wondering what is different about Jerusalem Conquest. The main difference is that the Theme focuses more on the 'Race' aspect or in other words... depending on what 'Race' you chose the outcome will be very different. An example is if you chose to follow Saladin then your enemies will be the Templars and Jews. When you are attacked you will see that the images will not be random, but specific to Templars and Jews. If you follow after the Templars then in like manner your enemies (Salidinians and Jews) will be shown as those to who you attack.
Now that is in the game, however if another player happens to be the same race as you then he can still attack (so long as you are not in an alliance) you. The reason for this will be centered around disagreements within Kingdoms - for instance the captain may not agree with the Circle of Templars, or another Man of Arabia has a dispute with Saladin, and so forth.
There are many other differences in this game, you will have to discover them for yourself as you play.
