    Hey,
    basically I ask you which of the choices you find more attractive for a mod. If you have any other suggestion connected with this middle east idea, I'll be happy to see them. Anyway what do you think?

    Regards,
    EC

    I picked number one, I don't know much of anything about middle eastern history but MTW already has the rise of the Ottomans so I picked number one

    I don't know about either, but I am more interested in the early era for middle east history so 1.

    p.s. Where's option 3?

    Ottomans' eastward expansion and their challenge of the caliphate and mamluks can be interesting. Also Aymar was working on one of the best battles of the east Ayn Jalut. Mongols' arrival and their battles with the M.E. powers is the most interesting topic in the M.E. medieval history

    I picked number 2, mostly because I don't think Tamerlane was even represented in MTW, except maybe as a mongol, which he really wasn't...

    It'd be nice to include the expansion of the Great Seljuk empire from Central Asia to Middle East in this mod. After all they're the precursor to the Otttoman empire

    There is no such mod officially started yet, but, well Im doing things. Now Im more determined to help with the newest MedMod, and as Conquistador is half dead (or maybe dead), I think in not too distant future this Middle East project is what I'll be working on.

    I just wanted to check if there'd be people interested in it, and what particular time period they find more attractive. However I think it'd be possible to have two campaigns within the time period specified for the first choice of this poll, and the third campaign could be then placed in the times of Timerlane or so.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Regards,
    EC

    Voted for 2, give me Mongols, Tamerlan, and remnants of Arab Chalifat (Almohads and Egypt in MTW).
    Option 1 with Chalifat controlling almost all of Middle East would not be as interesting.

    Well, option 1 is 7th - 13th century, and since 433 AH (1055 AD), when the Seljuks conquered Baghdad, the political situation in the Middle East was quite complicated. There would be multiple factions like: the Ummayads, the Abbasids, the Hamdanids, the Ghaznavids, the Fatamids, the Axum, the Byzantines, the Armenians, the Outremerer, the Seljuks, the Burids, the Atabegs, the Saffarids, the Samanids, the Danishmends, the Mongols and more.

    2 although 1 is interesting too.

    Thumbs up

    This would be a very nice mod. I am not sure which one to pick, but I am for option 1. You get the Crusading period also.

    the rise of islam?
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
