The land that EB forgot

[Ibrahim]

Im afraid we may be alone! You seem to know your Arab history, anything else from the books to support this province's inclusion?



The same could be said for large areas of the map which are counted as being under a faction's control. As I said, ownership of territory, as represented on any map, is very often only a nominal claim.



True, but there are still some useless provinces on the map which we could swap for Dumatha. E.g. Augila, Gaetulia.



Well the AS and Ptolies didn't ALWAYS attack Say'n, I remember many campaigns where they'd get bogged down fighting each other, and only one time when the Sabeans got impaled as you describe.



Can't argue with that. Except maybe to say that plenty of walking through deserts already goes on in the game, even though historically, naval transports would have been used.

I said I too miss dumatha(out of sentimentality); I actually have to agree with the others (remember when I said that najd was never conquered? sorry! the part where I mention Al-Yamammat and Najran has to do with the fact that it would simulate the pain in the rear time the Saba'iyyin had to survive, plus himyar.
