Ah ok, so you guys are already aware of his music. Nice to know.

MTW1 Islamic soundtracks were good; Turkish, Persian and Arabic instruments were used. MTW2 Islamic soundtracks on the other were overwhelmed by Arabic instruments. I would like to hear Turkish and...

This music can be used in the mod too (as a battle soundtrack). I have contacted the owner of this music, he allows the modders to use it.

The names in the list were used by Seljuk rulers.

Were they really horse archers? Or did they use horses for transportation and fought on foot? The latter is more likely in my opinion, I'm not well informed about these units though.

The illustration in your post depicts a 17th century siege battle, this mod does not cover that time period.



What kind of logic is this? The horse archer units of Eastern European factions...

Hello guys, it's been a while. I watched some campaign videos yesterday and here is my feedback:

- Some Seljuk characters had modern (recently popularized) names. I can provide you a list of names...

So I'm having a screen flickering problem in this mod with when SLI is enabled, the vanilla version works fine with SLI. How can I fix this? Any idea?

The game crashes when I start a custom battle. Don't know why.

Impressive.

"Pechenge" must be corrected as "Pecheneg" though.

Yes, they were related to Sarmatians. The Caucasian Alans are said to be ancestors of the modern Ossetians.

Recent studies do not prove Iranian origin or something, to be honest there is no one that advocates the ideologically motivated Iranian theory apart from some modern Bulgarian historians. The most...

There were also Ayyubid qara-ghulams (black ghulams) of African origin as far as I know, they were cavalry though.

It is also said that the term "qara-ghulam" was used to refer to mamluk/ghulam...

The only unit that I failed to recognize at first was this (tier 3 Tımarlı Sipahi?), others are easily recognizable.

Do you guys consider making one last release before the main (campaign) release, so that we can see revamped factions in action?

Great details and quality.

Excellent work.

The Ayyubid cavalry consisted mostly of Turks and Kurds.

930 yards by Tozkoparan was a record.

There were two types of Turkish bow - one designed for warfare/target archery and one designed for flight archery (competitions).

The guy below who is dressed as Ottoman horse archer looks exactly like tier 2 akinjis ;)

AOR/auxiliary units are based on these regions (late 15th century Ottoman Empire). Arab-inhabited lands were conquered in the 16th century.

So we have Crimean Tatars, Greeks, Balkan Slavs,...

In my opinion:
Limited infantry in early/high period is totally expected and makes sense from a historical point of view. Even the classical Ottoman army was depended on cavalry, let alone Seljuks...

A nice reconstruction of the Abbasid military. What will tier2/tier3 be based on? I can see some Mamluk helmets in the early roster so I guess tier2/tier3 Ghulam class will be based on Mamluks too,...

@Visarion

Although I don't agree with your posts I respect your right to share your opinion, but please avoid overposting about a certain subject. The last two pages are full of your repetetive...

The current names are good, maybe yeniçeri billmen can be renamed.

As for "yerli kulu", the term was used to refer to garrison Janissaries as you can see, which is irrelevant.

Yes, they are also called Teber, there is no sharp distinction between aybalta and teber it seems.

https://i.hizliresim.com/4MZ9kG.jpg




Don't you think those names are a bit too detailed? I mean, it would be totally unnecessary to rename "Kapıkulu Ulufeci" to "left and right ulufecis"....

I am not sure about bill but hooks are called "kanca" and pollaxe/halberds are called "baltalı kargı" in Turkish, which literally means "lance with axe". There is also "tığ-ı teber" (I guess this one...

They were volunteers, they could be from any segment of the army. Those volunteers were enlisted as "Serdengeçti" or "Dalkılıç", so it's true that they didn't really form a standing unit.

It is...

"Kapıkulu/Yeniçeri Heavy Infantry" is ok for me too. As for reliability of "Serdengeçti", their presence is well documented. They weren't exclusively chosen among Kapıkulu, any infantryman could...

He meant "Serdengeçti".

Most Tımarlı Sipahis were Muslim Turks, though there were many Christians among their ranks. Kapıkulu Sipahis on the other hand were exclusively Muslims (devşirme).

Well, new tier 1 models look great indeed (Ghazi Warriors, Jira-Khaars, Ghazi Lancers, Muqti etc). The things I've mentioned are about old models, bringing back those old helmets would only increase...

Amazing roster Hessam, thank you. :s_omg:

I really liked those units.




Let me fix some units' names (those with Turkish names and letters):

current name --> corrected name

Those bodyguards look fantasy though.

Nice work Hessam. This miniature is from the 16th century (Şemailname), so he is portrayed in 15th/16th-century fashion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakka%C5%9F_Osman :thumbsup2 Most of his modern...

I think those are Mamluks. :thumbsup2

That cannon looks great too.

That's not correct, Shia Islam became dominant in the region during the Safavid Period.

I think Balkan shields can be used in Akinjis and Deli, Sipahis appear with round shields in pre-17th century miniatures. Below is a 16th century miniature depicting the Battle of Mohaj. As you can...
