    REMINDER AGAIN: CONSULT THE TEMPLATE!!
    Don't worry, we'll use it. That way it'll be easier to organize all the info.

    Neato By the way, did u notice how Catalon and Aragon have their own provinces now?? It was a high priority for me when I tweaked the map. I have a new revised map later.

    I'd like to say a BIG BIG BIG THANKS to all FACTION RESEARCHERS SO FAR. Concepts are fun to draw, but its nothing without the research which constitutes the crispy immaculate canvas for us guys to work on.

    Hi .
    Please put Kingdom of Bohemia to MTR .
    Czech was realy important in that time.
    And please. Put city Presburg (today Bratislava) On the north of Magyar.
    In my language medieval Magyar was Uhorsko and Slovakia sometimes called "upper uhorsko" . And When Turkey attack on Magyar Bratislava was City king was became king (a dont know how it tell in english)
    That all.
    And Thanx for this modification :-D

    Depends on number of faction slots. Hopefully we can get 30 or so factions slots, I 'd like to implement war wagons and see Jan Ziszka in action!

    He means not only in terms of research area, but also by faith

    In that case, I'm referring to Cebei, head of Turkish research!!!

    Randarkmaan covers Egyptians, so its also a good idea to collaborate together. The three amigos.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    oh crap!! My bad...my very very interfaith BAD!

    Cebei covers mainly Seljuks, Ottomans, various Turcoman dynasties, but its up to him what Turkic powers he decides to cover.

    Although, I'd be very VERY VERY interested in small players like Hashashin and Nizaris as units available to particular factions. I'm after small unknown groups that can contribute in terms of military units and culture as well! Don't forget the small things!!

    Randarkmaan is going to Spain? Take some awesome photos of Moorish architecture won't ya ?

    Yes I know, he better take pics of the greatest palace to grace the world, the Alhambra (or al-Hammarra in arabic literally "the red").

    Anyways, about the Hashishin or Nizaris, they might be difficult to create as a nation, seeing as they fought only using "assassins", and not really much of an organized armies (not to say that fanatical infantry arent good soldiers, but they were not match for someone like Salah-u-din). They did in fact control the area between Lebonon and Judeah, and had many castles throughout Lebonon and hid in the mountains. Ive never actually read "the davinci code" but apparently its author made some distinction that the knights templar and the hashishin were connected or some b.s. Historically, tho, the Nizaris did cooperate with the crusader states and bargained for the land that I explained above.

    Still, they would make great mercs.

    I think I remember reading that the theory that the Templars and the Assassins were "connected" exists mainly because the Templars and the Assassins shared a very similar ranking system as well as a pretty similar uniforms, and I think both wore white robes and had a red symbol on it (the Templars a cross and I can't remember what the Assassins had). I'm not sure if it goes any longer or if it's anything like this, which also reminds me that I have a book about the Templars somewhere...

    Randarkmaan is going to Spain? Take some awesome photos of Moorish architecture won't ya ?
    I would, but it seems this is going to be mostly a sort of swimming, suntanning, ie. comfort vacation, too hot to be driving far in a car. I could try and take some pictures at a later time, don't worry we have an appartment down there and can go there more than once a year.


    Also, out of interest, where was that university again? I think there were many but I remember seeing a program about the Moors on television and it mentioned a certain university... Just curious

    Whoops, sorry I am on a vacation, just saw this. Yes, I will be covering the Turkic factions in Anatolia. Main powers are Seljuks and Ottomans but the complete list of principalities ("beylik"s) are as follows

    Saltuklular
    Mengücükler
    Kemah-Erzincan Kolu
    Divriği Kolu
    Danişmendliler
    Dilmaçoğulları -Akkoyunlular
    İnaloğulları
    Ermenşâhlar
    Artuklular
    Çobanoğulları
    Alâiye Beyleri
    Aydınoğulları Beyliği
    Aydınoğlu Gazi Umur Bey
    Candaroğulları ( İsfendiyaroğulları)
    Ankara Ahi Beyliği
    Dulkadıroğulları
    Eretnaoğulları
    Eşrefoğulları
    Germiyanoğulları
    Hamîdoğulları
    Kadı Burhaneddin Ahmed Devleti
    Karaisaoğulları
    Karamanoğulları Beyliği
    Lâdik (Denizli) Beyliği
    Menteşoğulları
    Pervâneoğulları
    Ramazanoğulları
    Sâhib-Ataoğulları
    Saruhanoğulları
    Tâceddînoğulları
    İzmir ve Efes Beylikleri

    Probably I will not be doing most of them, but I think this list is instructive if we are to create rebel factions in Anatolia.
    When the game ends, peon and king go into the same box.

    Well, I finally made it to the forum. Seems it's already filled good.
    One question though. I've been playing along with the research already, but what does the team want from the information I gathered up to now.
    And I also have many propositions I came up with when researching.
    And starting date is... 1066? Which is very good. There is strife amongst the heirs of the Rus

    I'm hoping that the faction slots go to 30, if so, Bohemia is definitely in. It would be cool to see Wagenburgs and Mr Zizska in the game.

    Another possibility is to integrate any unique units from the beyliks into the Turkish Sultanate faction, is it ok to call the Turkish faction the Turkish Sultanate?

    Yep, change to 1066 again, I actually decided against it in the beginning, but eventually circumstances made 1066 very attractive.

    Consult the template which is posted in this thread.

    Plus ideas for gameplay such as features, tech trees, etc should be made in a separate file for private viewing.

    Our 1066 map, can all MTR researchers confirm the province allocations???

    Plus if u want to suggest changes, they are allowed on the following conditions:

    1) To add a new province, u have to suggest an elimination of an existing province
    2) To change a province boundary, just tell me what to do

    Don't post suggestions here, PM me instead. Cheerios
