Today I start previewing the Saracen Units

The Sibyan al Rikab



Young noblemen of the Ayyubid Dynasty. These are powerfull heavy cavalry that form the incredibly solid core of the Saracen army. They are primarly the protectors of the Sultans generals; however, if you have the gold you will be able to muster a unit or two of these men. They are a solid wall of horse flesh and armor, bristling. None shall stand in their way and they will inspire all those that see them on the battle field as well as striking fear into the very hearts of your enemy.

Todays Saracen Preview:

The Royal Cavalry



These men are the crack cavalry force of the Sultans armies. Powerful heavy cavalry armed with spears and swords. They are not has heavily armored as the Sibyan al Rikab, but are faster and much more nimble. Where the Rikab are a thunderous wall of spears and armor, nearly unstoppable with their momentum; the royal cavalry are a fluid force that can quickly attack, turn and regroup and strike again in moments. Wreaking havoc on the crusader armies.

Very impressive as usual.

How did you do the sash on that last unit. I've done something similar for WoT, but I keep getting problems with the sash going into the unit when its animated...

try moving the verts out away from the body a bit... i hope that helps.. that generally works for me.

Reply
caius britannicus 00:27 02-16-2006
Are you just attaching the sash to the torso bone?

If so that normally causes some problems of clipping. I use a skin modifier as well as keeping it off the body a bit. With the skin I normally attach verts to the torso, abs and pelvis.

Myrddraal 00:30 02-16-2006
Hmm, I just used torso and pelvis. I'm sure its just a matter of tweaking till I get it right...

Mamluk Abtal Askar



Powerful shock cavalry. Meant to cover the withdraw of the hit run tactics of other saracen cavalry. They are armed with lances and large battle axes and make a formidable foe.

These are all really nice units, are they all historically accurate?

Reply
caius britannicus 20:11 02-17-2006
yes and no. Most are based on ospreys or museum armor pieces. Some are based on units seen in KoH and some are straight out of my imagination.

Mamluk Junior Askar



These men are mounted junior Mamluks armed with the bow and sword. They possess such impressive horsemenship and archery skills that they are by far the finest mounted archers in the Saracen army.

Todays Update, sorta a dual update.

The Saracen General Model and the Sibyan al Rikab's cavalry standard.



watch out the img is rather hi res!

Reply
caius britannicus 18:44 02-21-2006
A massive DUAL update today. Two units for the price of one!

Tawashi Cavalry



Considered by the crusading franks as a medium cavalry, but to the Saracens they where a heavy cavalry unit. Armed with spears swords and shields. they were easily the match of any cavalry the crusading armies of europe could field.



Ayyubid Ghulams



Again, another medium cavalry, Fast and agile armored in leather lamellar. They carry bamboo spears, shorter and better suited for close combat and the agility. These men were some of the finest mounted warriors of the Ayyubid Dynasty.

Those screenshots are unreal. The metal really shines, and stands out, especially on the islamic units. Really impressive stuff, can't wait to play this.

caius britannicus 06:00 02-22-2006
ya, I started using a new envmap for the gloss recently (mostly for the saracens) The crusaders using the same envmap have the same steel shiny looking helmet.

I'm loving those units, man. Excellent work.

Extreme Kudos Caius!
I am absolutely enthralled by your saracen units! Once this mod comes out I am going to spend days playing as the Saracens because their units are absolutely the most bada**

caius britannicus 20:34 02-23-2006
One thing about making a mod that is really enjoyable... you can play it before everyone else :P

Jaridah Cavalry



Light cavalry, armored in leather lamellar and a mail coif. They carry a shorter cavalry spear and sabers and are fast cavalry that make up the bulk of the ayyubid cavalry lines.

I really like those
keep it up

Really nice units can't wait to try them !

I'll have higher res and individual unit renders for the units in this preview at a later date. What I'm presenting here is a night battle I recently played which also convienently showcases the current saracen ayyubid infantry that have been created. Mamluk Junior Foot Askars, Thaqlah Infantry and Daylamite Infantry are showcased battling a army of French Men-at-Arms, Latin Heavy Spearmen and Welsh bowmen (not shown). Its presented in a filmstrip of the battle. ENJOY!




PS: its a night battle because I enjoy the way the light reflects of the armor :)

Awsome!
Will there be Nizaris? or Hashishin?

I'm surprised that this mod is not more popular, the units are so richly detailed.

A preview (I know its been awhile but study week is over :( )

Nubian Infantry



Light infantry, armed with shield and spear. They are by no means the greatest quality troops however their numbers are where their strength lays as they overwhelm the crusading armies of Europe.



Reply
Geoffrey S 11:38 03-04-2006
Still looking fantastic. What I really like is the way all the units seem to fit together, they don't seem to clash (colourwise) like those in quite a few other mods.

Glad to see you're making good progress.

Todays preview

Ayyubid Infantry



This infantryman is a rank and file trooper at your disposal in your fight against the franks. Not armored except for his padded coat and shield he is not going to be the decisive force on the battle that your Daylamites or Black Guards will be. However they are faster then their european counterparts with just as much eagerness to show their worth.
