AD 1071 – AoC Grand Campaign: Romanos IV and the Battle of Manzikert (1.0)

AoC Grand Campaign – AD 1071: Romanos IV & The Battle of Manzikert

The year is AD 1071. The once-mighty Eastern Roman Empire stands at a crossroads of fate. In the east, the rising power of the Seljuk Turks gathers strength under the formidable Alp Arslan, while Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes marches forth to secure the empire’s fractured frontiers. What follows will shape the destiny of Anatolia—and the balance of power across the medieval world.
