Todays update we begin looking at Syrian units...

Kurdish Ghulams

Like all the Ghulams of the Saracen armies these horsemen are heavily armed with a long spear and a full mail hauberk. They strike with lighting speed and incredible power and very few can stand their ferocious charge.

Wow, the Ghulams look sweeeet&tasty! They were a hell of an enemy for the Crusaders!

Hashishin

They are the finest assassins in the Islamic world, striking fear into the hearts of any foe that comes against them. These men are some of the finest archers the saracens can field. Eventhough they lack numbers on the battlefield their skill with bow and scimitar make them an almost unstoppable force.

Them Hashisihn look nice! Dangerous P-heads! I know science pretty much proofed they didn't use drugs...but still i kinda like the idea....For which faction will they fight?!?

Probably for the Islamic one, I think Caius only has two factions.
I suppose they´re much like the Rome Arcani on steroids - able to hide everywhere and armed with (armor-piercing?) bows.
I´m not much a user of special units, the game engine makes them somewhat tough to handle, but I like the idea of them a lot.

Must admit that the wonderful screenshots are a bit distracting

Pretty much bang on. They also have the terrorize attribute. And I'm still tossing around the idea of multiple hit points. Mostly for the reason of unit size. With only one and being outnumbered heavily they will rout or be cut down too fast.
