Historical Overview Section

The Empire of Nicaea or the Nicene Empire was the largest of the three Byzantine Greek rump states founded by the aristocracy of the Byzantine Empire that fled after Constantinople was occupied by Western European and Venetian forces during the Fourth Crusade. Founded by the Laskaris family it lasted from 1204 to 1261, when the Nicaeans restored the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople.

25 units. Initiative : 2 Deployment : Competent generals on the wings and Ordinary general in the center. Good overall maneuverability and reasonable punch with 9 knights. Reasonable anti-elephant potential. Archers and crossbowmen give good preparatory fire for the Knights and the mounted element can protect the LMI. The only downside is the low overall cohesion for the army: 69 points.
