The saracens will work in much the same way as the Crusaders. Just as the Latin Kingdom (Kingdom of Jerusalem) supplied the core of the crusader units the Ayyubid Dynasty will supply the core units for the Saracens. The saracens will also able to recieve "re-enforcements" like the crusaders from areas such as the Arabian peninsula or the Seljuk Turks. Also recruitable are Syrians, Nubians, Sudanese and Kurds making for a varied and diverse unit list with an emphasis on cavalry. As a crusader you will have to rely on your knights to hold the Saracen cavalry so your powerful infantry can close in and surround them. As the Saracens you will have to use your cavalry to out maneuver the crusading knights and infantry and bring the fight to the crusader foot soldiers quickly. Once they are out of the picture the knights of europe will not be able to withstand your great numbers!

Awsome! Am I to belive that the Abbuyids are one and the same with the Abbasids?

Oh S***, im really stupid! I just realized who the Ayyubids were, ahahaha.


Still, im really anticipating this mod. I don't see enough of Islamic/Persian/Indians represented in mods, which is strange because their units are awsome!

Agreed. I love the exotic look of the Eastern soldiers, or the Moors and Saracens.
