Crusader Army vs Fatimid Caliphate | Epic 20,000 Unit Cinematic Total War Battle

The crusader army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem marches through the desert to meet the Saracen warriors under the Fatimid Caliphate. The crusaders numbered 9,200 strong with heavy infantry and heavy cavalry. Hospitaller and Templar knights make the body of the heavy units of the army. The sun is scorching hot and as they move through the desert they meet the Saracen army 11,600 strong. The Fatimid army is versatile with heavy and light cavalry as well as a mix of light and heavy infantry. These two legendary armies clash in the hope to repel one another from what they consider their holy land.

This is NOT a historical battle and was created for your enjoyment of heavy knights and crusader time battles.
