Quite well done Ares. :) Now it's perfect.

Just one thing - Malloca is Mallorca. :P I missed the "r" on my map. Not that it will make much difference.

What's the difference between the Moors and Almohads? As far as I remember, the Almohads ruled in North Africa and Southern Spain.

[Jolt]

I suppose the Moors are the Almoravids? The Almoravid was Berber/Moor.

While the Almoravids were quite tolerant to other faiths, the Almohads (Who never had a seperate territory but bleh.), were quite fundamentalists. The Almohads murdered the Almoravid ruler, and brought a great number of troops from North Africa to attack the Christians, effectively ending the Almoravid rule over Andaluz. The massive numbers managed to make the Almohads some recoveries against the Christian kingdoms, but once they organized and made joint efforts, the Almohad initiative was quickly crushed in several key battles in which the various Christian kingdoms participated. The battle of Las Navas de Tolosa springs to mind as the most blatant example of Iberian Christian cooperation.

Almoravid rings a bell, I couldn't think of the exact name, but there was an islamic faction below the moors I know that, just forgot the exact name.

[Jolt]

The Almohads originated from the tribes Atlas mountains, which is somewhat South of the map limit.

The Almoravids were the Moorish dynasty that ruled North Africa and Southern Spain, but were conquered by the Almohads around the time of this IH.

Why does "Sicily" have Tunis?

[Ignoramus]
