It's about the name of the starting characters for Stainless Steel 6.0 (which incidentally I believe are the same as for the vanilla game).
Sultan Tahir? Uh... like who is that guy? Historically I mean. And Crown Prince Miswar?
I could be wholly off the grid here, but shouldn't that be Sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin and his son Ali ibn Yusuf (we're in 1080)? I mean, it's not game-breaking here. But why? I thought SS had a minimum of historicity behind it.
The only Tahir I can find is the second son of Yusuf, Abu Tahir Tamim ibn Yusuf ibn Tashfin al-Mu'izz. And not being a great scholar of islamic Spain, I'm still trying to figure out the link between this al-Mu'izz and the Zirid dynasty in Africa.
Anyways, if anyone can clarify the whole thingamajib, I'd be really, REALLY happy!
