In the last one I think AbAZHIA (1480) should belong to Circassia but I am not sure. At this point Circassian power was rising while Georgia was falling (it got invaded in 1507 by a Circassian army.

Fedayeens sould always wear Red!


I got some heroes coming up...

Flag is going to be abit of a problem but I think it should be something similiar to Circassian Mamluk Flag, yellow and green colors recommended by me.



I made it but it is 99% accurate to the book that I saw the flag on.

Some Notes about the three maps I posted:

1648 I just learned Russian Invasion was not that bad actually because after a war against the Turks the Russians still could not recover.

So ignore that invaded land and, on the other hand, the Tatars might have invaded up to Kuban river again I am not sure.



1572 Circassia and Russia is sort of allied. Only problem Tatars.

1480 No problems :D expantion time for Circassia!

History for the Game:

1480-1550 Everything is fine, expantion period.


1550-1600 Russian and Tatar pressure - main enemy Tatars.


1600-1650 Tatars are still main enemy, Russia applying some presure but without results. I think Ottomans campaign agains Russia slowed down Russian designs on Caucasus. Tatars constantly raiding North Caucasus.


(late game) 1700 Begining of the War against Russia. A huge tatar army enters Caucasus and is destroyed compelety by a much smaller army of local warriors (100 000) ending Tatar threat for good.

Circassians did have a navy (small and they were like war galleys each carrying 80-120 men). They used it to raid Russian Navy, but against Tatars or Ottomans not much record.


Circassian battle tactics:


War Cry--
Attack of the Fedayeen (s) (not always)--
Charge of the whole army
Destruction of the enemy (or if the enemy had enough canon opposite)

Guerilla on defence
Constant raids and harrasments. --->
Cutting suplies and reinforcements --->
Using Forest for cover and attacking from multiple sides --->
After the enemy gets really weak final attack and destroy.

Ambush
War Cry and a quick Charge.

Circassian Leaders from the Period:

[cegorach]

Few notes to explain several things

- the database will be used first for MTW, later for MTW 2 if it is possible to place Circassian faction in MTW 2 at all ( if not some of the units could appear as rebels or mercenaries, or both),

- heroes

I need:
a) their stats - command, piety, acumen, loyalty, dread ( from 0 to 7 each) + a short description of this guy's character - was he merciless, devout, charitable etc

b) the year of appearance/birth,

c) portrait if you can find one,

- office titles

it is about offices like chancellor, senior religious leader etc - their description, name ( in local language) + proposals for stats and the building which gives the title ( everything can be used),

The rest very good.
