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.

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.

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

Yes but I just wanted to include them

Yeah I know. The Kingdom of Navarra also doesn't have Armagnac, which was under French suzerainity. But I would conprehend why it is so. Valencia was also wholly sorrounded by the Almoravids (El Cid only controlled the city and it's outskirts.) plus the Balreares were under Almoravid control. At least all Christian kingdoms start in the same foot except León, which has another province.

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?

Because there isn't much else they can have, I want them to be in it.

Besides on medieval 2 the Sicilian AI always take it, gives the game an Italian feel

Of course If you know of a different faction that historically owned Tunis then I can replace them, no problems.

Thank you Ignoramus
