[II] Faction list draft

[aleh]

Val di Mazara(Kalbid Dynasty)
-----------------
Palermo(capital)(al-Akhal, ruler)




Val di Noto(Rebels I'd recommend, or some sort of Muslim faction, like the Emirate of Syracuse perhaps?)
------------------
Syracuse(at-Tumnah family rules?)



Val Demone(Rebels)
------------------




Why are the Zirids included by the way, I thought by the last portion of the 900s, they'd lost actual control of Sicily? Also, if you want to go with a second Muslim faction, I'd recommend one based around Syracuse(Emirate of Syracuse/Tumnah Dynasty?). There isn't much evidence for there being one until later in the century, so it could be one that emerges later on in the 1030s-60s that centres around Syracuse and Catania(if it's possible code-wise?). If that's not possible, then I guess it depends on whether or not you want Sicily to have just one 'native' faction and be harder or what. In that case, make it a very weak Emirate? Would make sense given that around the first quarter of the 1000s, there was more and more conflict in that area.

Hope that helps, that's the best I could do, though I think it's pretty accurate.

P.S. Here's one image that (you probably checked, but still) might help you guys.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw that you included parts of Africa in your map.

2nd Edit: I can understand not having one specific faction controlling all of Sardinia. But, why not have one of the 4 kingdoms represented. Like for example the Giudicati of Arborea? I know they were for the most part under Genoese or Pisan influence, but if there's a faction slot to appear, might as well make that big of a place contain something, right?
