I haven't time to reply to everything just yet. :
The Seljuk Sultanate of Konya (Iconium) is in fact the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. They are the very same. The Great Seljuk Empire is a separate faction. I have always had a problem with these as the provinces on the map are only a tiny fraction of their territory, but still...
As to the Byzantine territories, those that I have in the early period at present are as close as I can get it to the early era, handing more territories to the Turkic peoples in 1087 would look and feel wrong.
When it comes to a matter of new factions, there is a lot of work - and artwork involved which I don't not have the time nor the necessary skill to engage in. If others wish to take this on they are free to do so.
