Hassasins were never famous of their supreme armies nor their battlefield victories so it woulnt be wise to give them supreme armies if there would ever be an Alamut castle. But a different and unique castle structure that gives the defender ultimate control over the area would be realy fine and accurate.
Btw here is not the place but.... without shiism Broken crescent is not that broken at all. I mean while shiism and sunni rivalry was the root reason of almost all the conflicts in the area , it doesnt seem logical to not to represent it....
Yes, you are right; but we have already decided to include shia as one of BC religions.
Good to know Now its even more realistic.
Here I have some ideas for special buildings in Constantinople, the Queen of Cities (excluding the Hagia Sophia, as you already have her in BC).
THE HIPPODROME OF CONSTANTINOPLE
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The first Hippodrome in old Byzantium was built by Emperor Septimus Severus of the Romans. Constantine I (306-337) upgraded it when he promoted the city to capital of the Empire.
Effects: allow races to be hold, +2 exp to cavalry trained here, +20% Public Order, increase in trading.
THE GREAT AQUEDUCT OF VALENS
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It was built by Emperor Valens (364-378). More info: Engineering an Empire - the Byzantine Greeks (Part 1 & 2)
Effects: health +2 and huge bonus in population growth.
THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Constantine I began to build it and it was completed by his son, Constantius II.
Effects: religion conversion bonus, bonus in public order
THE THEODOSIAN WALLS
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
They were the most powerful defensive system of the world outside China, built by Theodosius II (408-450)
Effects: extra wall defences, law and public order bonus
THE PALACES OF CONSTANTINOPLE
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Various palaces erected for the glory of the Empire and Emperor. Includes Blachernae, Bucoleon, Porphyrogennitoi and the ultimate Grand Palace.
Effect: bonus in law, public order and population growth.
EDIT: I've added some less important buildings

you could put in the ruins of Solomon's Temple, also known as the First Temple, was the temple in Jerusalem, on the Temple Mount (also known as Mount Zion), before its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar II after the Siege of Jerusalem of 587 BCE and then deysroyed again by the romans. It Was also the first Templar Temple or so they say.

a unique building for Solankis
suggested bonuses:
-10% reduced building costs, -1 to unrest,
Alamut must be in the game
and it most be very strong and has heavy army
two interesting castles for Jordan area:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajlun_Castle
it would be nice that Constantinple would be on the battlemap the real Constantinople. like you have with 3th age total war soon with minas thirith enz
maybe be just a few, but most of it is original i think. after all, it was common for men to learn from other, ex:the Roman learn something from persian etc. besides the only roman building i know similar to what the muslim have is hagia sophia .
Al Azhar Mosque in Cairo, Egypt
Al Azhar University (970-972 AD) in Cairo, Egypt (world's second oldest surviving degree granting university, the 1st is University of Al-Karaouine (859 AD) in Fes, Morocco)

"And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth). Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge) (and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman). Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the best of creators. After that, surely, you will die. Then (again), surely, you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection. And indeed We have created above you seven heavens (one over the other), and We are never unaware of the creation." (QS. Al-Mu'minun (23):12-17)
"He who has not seen it does not know the power of Islam." -Ibn Khaldun
Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Arabic: المسجد النبوي [mæsdʒɪd ænnæbæwiː] "Mosque of the Prophet"), often called the Prophet's Mosque, is a mosque situated in the city of Medina. As the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad, it is considered the second holiest site in Islam by Muslims (the first being the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca) and is one of the largest mosques in the world. The mosque is under the control of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
One of the most notable features of the site is the Green Dome over the center of the mosque, where the tomb of Muhammad is located. It is not exactly known when the green dome was constructed but manuscripts dating to the early 12th century describe the dome. It is known as the Dome of the Prophet or the Green Dome.[1] Subsequent Islamic rulers greatly expanded and decorated it. Early Muslim leaders Abu Bakr and Umar are buried in an adjacent area in the mosque.
The site was originally Muhammad's house; he settled there after his Hijra (emigration) to Medina, later building a mosque on the grounds. He himself shared in the heavy work of construction. The original mosque was an open-air building. The basic plan of the building has been adopted in the building of other mosques throughout the world.
The mosque also served as a community center, a court, and a religious school. There was a raised platform for the people who taught the Qur'an. In 1909, it became the first place in the Arabian Peninsula to be provided with electrical lights.[2][IMG][/IMG]
أنت دوسري
فاسمع ما يقال عنك !
واذا لم تكن فاسمع ما يقال عنا
قال الحجاج بن يوسف: هؤلاء قبيلة الدواسر قاتلة جبان ) المعروف عن قبيلة الدواسر فى جزيرة العرب أنها القبيلة الوحيدة التى تقتل الرجل من أبنائها إذا كان جبانا.
قال عنهم الرئيس اليمني علي عبدالله صالح :
( الدواسر قبيلة لا ٺحٺاج إلى رجال فرجالها أهل ثباٺ )
قال عنهم الرئيس العراقي صدام حسين :
( في كل نقطة دَم دوسري يوٌلد مجاهد وقائد )
قال عنهم الملك فيصل رحمه الله:
(لن ٺسٺطيع أي قوة أن ٺضرب قبيلة الدواسر لانهم من اعظم آلقبآئل على وجه الارض )
قال عنهم الملك عبد العزيز آل سعود رحمه : ( مآيهزم بيرق حرب وفيه دوسري)
قال عنهم الشيخ زايد رحمه الله رئيس دولة الإمارات :
( اذا إٍنْــٺ لم ٺعاشر دوسري في حياٺك وتخاويه فانٺ في خطر لأنك لم تعاشر رجلاً بحياتك)
قال ديكسون المؤرخ المستشرق الانجليزي فى كتابه "الحكومة الانجليزية الهندية " الدواسر هم ألمان العرب وكان ذلك أثناء معركة كنزان عام (1333ه - 1915 ) بسبب ما رآه من شجاعة رجال قبيلة الدواسر وشراستهم فى القتــال.❤
كفو يالدواسر
Will these buildings simply be shown on the campaign map, or will they be present at the battles? I was really excited to see Jerusalem as a unique city during a battle, with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock present, but it was just like every other city It's really possible to create unique cities. The TATW team managed to created unique cities like Minas Tirith. Why can't an amazing mod like Broken Crescent do likewise?
Well, if it is possible to remodel entire settlements, wouldn't it be possible to put unique buildings in the current settlements?
Oh and considering how there were unique generals in vanilla, it would also be really cool to make custom skins for famous generals featured in the game. Because I seriously doubt Baldwin showed his face like any other general, and yeah, lol
The old temple at Baalbek and the remains of Palmyra maybe ?
