    Here comes a numidian, or mauri spearman.





    Has that patched leather mail, i saw in several pic on that site of almoravids figurine.
    Saw it also on saracen unit in crusades, so i used it myself.

    Tell me if is historical, or must be changed.

    Need at least another good pic of a shield, with 3 shield i guess can do all the units...

    As always, critics welcome.

    it's a good unit,i love it.
    i have a suggestion that for the almoravides units can you make them more like tuareg :

    and almoravides camel like that:
    because historicly andalucians call tha al moravides almoulathamin almoulatham a person how hide his face.

    I guess for the later dynasties, their should be Shamshir, that is without a doubt. But the earliest Al-Andalus warriors probably used the Arab broadsword, due to the fact that they were the remnants of the old Ummayad order turning tail against the Abbasids. Anyways, good reasearch and awsome models.

    oh yea, BTW Almazor. I think that blade you are showing is belived to be Dhul-a-faqar or better known as Zulfiqar (my favorite sword in history!), originally the blade of Muhammed, it was passed down to Ali and saw action througout both of their campaigns, even unto Karbala. I think in arabic it means something like "spine cleaver" or "blinder", and was orignally shown with two points at the end, and was used especially for gougeing out eyes :).

    yeah, all first beduin was with covered face, i did a pair with face visible to change the aspect.
    Almazor, you can produce something like an unit list?
    like 12-14 units, from low rank to elite, so can work on it.

    I have already 6-7 beduin ready, am half way seems.

    All berber units belonging to al-andalus could be made after the almoravid pictures.

    the unit list of the almoravides:
    the number of infantry units of the almoravides must be hight because the almoravides like fighting on foot,and in there battle they use infantry more than horses add to that they are very desciplined like roman legion,they use also camels.

    1-the lamtuna:heavy spearmen the rulers of the al moravides were from the tribe of lamtuna.the most loyal and powerfull unit
    of the almoravide.
    heavy spearmen, N: 120, A: strong, C: good, D: strong, W: spear, sword, H: iron, Ar: mailcoat, S: round, Mo: excellent, St: good, Co: expensive.Can make shield wall

    heavy cavalry (royal bodyguard), N: 60, A: good, C: very good, D: very good, W: spear, curved sword, H: iron, Ar: mail coat, S: oval, Mo: excellent, St: good, Co: very expensive.
    i suggest that the number must be hight because,in the battle of zallaqa,the number of black guard was 4000 20% of the army and it's very hight for a personnel guards.and we give the player the possibility to dismount this killers,Can make shield wall if they fight on foot

    3-al moravide horsmen:
    medium cavalry, N: 40, A: good, C: very good, D: good, W: spear, curved sword, H: iron, Ar: mail coat, S: round, Mo: good, St: average, Cost: expensive.

    4-al moravide warrior:swordman unit
    T: swordmen infantry, N: 80, A: good, C: strong, D: average, W: sword, H: leather/no, Ar: no, S: oval/bilobed, Mo: very good, St: very good, Co: average. Religious boost morale when combat christian or pagan

    5-al moravide spearmen:
    T: heavy spearmen, N: 120, A: good, C: good, D: very good, W: spear, sword. H: leather, Ar: leather, S:"your choice ", Mo: good, St: good, Co: quite expensive Religious boost morale when combat christian or pagan.

    6-berber infantry:
    T: light berber infantry, N: 120, A: weak, C: average, M: good, D: average, W: javelin, spear, H: no, Ar: no, S: bilobed, Mo: average, St: averege, Co: cheap.

    7-Rumat al-soudan: they are recruited from senegal
    T: Bowmen infantry, N: 80, A: weak, C: average, M: good, D: weak, W:bow, short sword, H: leather, Ar: no, S: oval, Mo: average, St: good. Co: cheap/average.

    10-al moravide camel raiders:bonus againt horses,can rout heavy cavalry,they will probably the most powerfull camel in the game.armed with spear and oval shield.

    11-andalucians cavalry:medium cavalry, N: 40, A: good, C: very good, D: good, W: spear, curved sword, H: iron, Ar: mail coat, S: round, Mo: good, St: average, Cost: expensive.

    Ah, almazor, good list.
    You think can associate some of those almoravids i did with units in your list, and tell me what need to change or add? Like change weapons, or add them, and provide pic of shield, if different :). Thanks

    if you saw the image:this is a battle between al moravides and spanish,(i have another image much better),the almoravide horseman have oval shield,armed with sword and long spear,the face is headen.
    for infantry they have a different type of shield,and i think that oval shield is'nt a good choice.
