Spain didnt exist untill 1469. And in that time it really was just a dynastic union of both the Crown of Aragon and the Crown of Castille.
I say the greatest was the Crown of Aragon, a...
To who/why are you saying this Woad?
Looking cool. As a fellow Catalan, let me introduce a couple of minor tweaks I would implement to make this faction more realistic :P. I'm not sure to what extent you have already implemented some of...
Nice work! I second this reskin, they look much better now :P.
Shield is optional, some sources claim they didnt wear any. I think they're just fine as you've skinned them though!!!
I started reading the Silmarilion after I read The Lord of the Rings. They've got nothing or little to do with each other(As to the type of book it is). The Silmarilion is like...a Bible explaining...
Interested in the time when Almugavers set foot on the Byz empire. It was the 1300 hundreds, and I believe that is the empire's decline era isnt it?
Quite an amazing...
Well I recall reading that at first the main actions and battles against the turks happened in Anatolia, in Eastern Byzantium. Problem is in reality they just fought for a year or so in that zone,...
Man thats just a so imperialistic way of looking at things. What if your country was being invaded by some other that just wished to have one of your ports for its own wealth? Would you defend them...
Not sure if I should write this somewhere else but in any case...
This Idea has been roaming over my mind for some time and I wanted to hear and read about what the mod developers thought about...
For any of you guys interested in Aragonese/Catalan medieval units and warfare, here goes an article I found.
I agree to 95% to all the things in it. Easy to read and understand it provides a...
Finneys,
I have to apologise for my delay. My internet at home is broken and the problem seems to go on forever. I hope to have internet by next week, and finally finish the list. Currently the...
Yep, as what you guys have demonstrated, other men/units were also called that name, I was referring to the lets say the "original" ones :P.
As for Jinetes I agree I wouldnt change anything as...
Jinetes were present in the Crown of Aragon as some of you have pointed out. By the catalan name of Genets. They were the same type of unit though, not mounted almugavers. We must differentiate...
Ahh so I see...the real problem you have is not reading comprehension...your actual problem is that your imagination tends to make things up and then take them as personal attacks or something, so...
To start with why do you quote me partially? You must have a hard time arguing with all my post I guess.
Second and most important of all. When or were in this thread did I say it is bad to say...
From my personal experience:
Moor is not a bad term but it is not a totally politically correct one. Its like saying Black or Coloured . It also depends on the way and context you say it in.

@Mike
:laughter: I know just take it as a humorous post :P. And anyway there you have a simple way of knowing the difference without having to read all the fussy explanations I write :).
...
Lol...:laughter:
All my efforts are futile...I'll have to resign and admit that my way of explaining things is horrible...
My last try will be mathematical :):
Kingdom of Aragon+County of...
To be a bit clearer:
Mike I think Almogaver and me wish/think/are of the opinion that this should be the faction description instead of the one that figures in th efirst post :thumbsup2.
...
Shaba I want (its a personal preference as always) historical accuracy xD. The Crown of Aragon was Aragon+Catalonia(County of Barcelona). So for historical accuray we have two options here: Or we...
I've always read they come from Indian ancestry. Their language here is called Caló, and even the spanish and catalan language have adopted some words of this language. They are a poor community in...
Girls like bad guys, or humorous guys or in general the so called "popular" guys. Its not a myth or anything it is true and with all my modesty let me say that eventhough I'm not specially...
You are coming to Europe and missing Barcelona...now what kind of a trip is that?....
xD just joking :P, but do consider comming to Barcelona...its...the best city in the world:thumbsup2
Lol....
then maybe I misunderstood you...
sorry I thought you were bringing in th eidea of adding those aragonese COA for the faction. I just think that that would be a bit unfair if we dont...
Woops Shaba again I must disagree with you :thumbsup2.
Ay va la ostia!...ke no ke no soy pinxo xD.
I will post my historical ideas of how this faction should imo be inserted in the game. IMO...
Hey KK,
Do you think you could add shaba's coat of arms but with this extra detail?
http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imatge:Stendardo_del_re_d%27Aragona.png
Would look amazing....
...
Numeros,
I already explained on another thread the three main theories about the meaning of the name:thumbsup2. The actual name is mainly thought to be arab, a word thought to be created by the...
Wow KK Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Almogavers look totally realistic now!!!
Shaba Wangy points out great things also! If you could include short sword as secondary it would be great, and what you say...
Nope :P. Almogavers existed throughout most of all the Aragonese reconquesta not just in the Italian and Byzantine conquests. They were an early-middle and a late middle ages unit.
Hmmm interesting thread xD.
Well as far as my knolwedge goes Almogavers (the catalan name for them), were mainly mountain men from Aragon and Catalonia. There is evidence that there were also...
I totally agree with you almogaver! I will merge your list into mines so we have a super list!
Finneys: On thr first post you can add Almogaver as an author :thumbsup2.
About the bynames:

Shaba
I'm not being pinxo :thumbsup2. I'm just being historically correct. It says Aragonese names just as like it could say Catalan names. The fact is that the thread relates to the Crown of...
Ramiro was king of the Kingdom of Aragon Shaba, not of the Crown (Union of County of Barcelona and Kingdom of Aragon):P. Anyway yes I do realize that all the names posted there are of Catalan origin...
Mike Aragon still exists xD. As a community in Spain, but yes it exists. I am not from aragon though, I am from Barcelona, Catalonia. My avatar is the independence flag of Catalonia :thumbsup2.
Always wanted to ask this question to a Greek!:
During the middle ages, Greece, in that time the Byzantine Empire, suffered the help of the Catalan/Aragonese Almogavers. I mean suffered because...
Well as for my experience I started getting really interested in the history of my country (Crown of Aragon/Catalano-Aragonese Crown) quite a few months ago already. Then I stumbled accross this mod...
Thnks for allthe +rep everybody! mike you got that extra ring xD!!! I have a good time doing these kinds of things!
@Junky
Sure m8, I guess i'm a bit too perfectionist sometimes...I do agree with you though that the actual level is more than enough for this!!! I'll just leave doors open for if any expert wants...
Update:
I've just added all the missing unit descriptions. Well in fact there is just one unit description missing which is that of the Rus' spearmen. If anyone wants to have a go at that so we...
