Gents:

Good morning from Canada!!! I hope this finds you and yours well. As for me, I could complain...yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm finding Broken Crescent a very interesting mod. It's nice to concentrate on another part of the world during the Middle Ages instead of just France and England, even though that's what we mainly heard about.

Again, I find myself asking questions. 1) When did the Ayyuib Empire (Sultanate?) become Egypt? 2) It seems we have two different nations of Raijputs. I'm playing the one now. Is the other also playable?

I'm sorry I can't remember the name! DAMN!!!

In closing, to repeat what I said in an earlier posting, it's going to be interesting to see what this author's other wares will be!!!

Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!!

Sincerely yours always,

Indy.

The Ayyubid dynasty seized control of Egypt, which was then called Misr, around 1169 when Salah ad-Din became Grand Vizier for the Fatimid Khalifat, a Shi'a state, following the death of his uncle. In 1171 the reigning Fatimid Khalifa, al-Adid, died and Salah ad-Din had the name of al-Mustadi, the Sunni Abbasid Khalifa in Baghdad, read in the Friday prayers. However Salah ad-Din was still but a governor for his nominal lord, Nur ad-Din, who ruled Syria. When Nur ad-Din died in 1174 Salah ad-Din seized control of Egypt and made himself Sultan.

As for your other question. Nope the Chauhan Rajputs are not playable. Which is a shame because it would rock to be able to play as the great Raj Prithviraj III, the last of the Northern Hindu lords. For the moment we are stuck with the Solanki Rajputs. But they are pretty cool too. The Solanki clan was descended from the Chalukya, a great central and southern Indian dynasty.

Haven't played it, probably won't play it for a while, to much else to do. However I've watched this mod since it started and I can safely say it is THE mod for M2. The amount of research and pure hard work into this mod is outstanding. It's guaranteed to produce good result. Naturally I don't discount that this mod will have it's issues like everything else in life does, but it's surely worth it.

POWER TO THE SULTAN !

Here are a few screenshots from my current campaign to whet the appetite.

I absolutely LOVE the Ghorid flag, it's my favorite. Love the black uniforms too, what's the unit in the second screenshot called ?

I'm such an idiot! I never though of taking any sceenshots, so many missed cool moments.
@Sinan, the cavalry unit or the spearmen?

[Shahed]

Yep, they're Mounted Ghazis ?

Here are the forums for the mod.

You can also get the mod in their forums here at the ORG, under "Broken Crescent" in the mod sections under MTW2, but the twcenter forums are far busier if you want to read up a bit on the mod first.
