Hi Byzantineboy, your mini mod is really a good job, very interesting. I wanted to know if you have added the makurian priests . Wudang Clown said that makurian priests were missing because there wasn't any model with a dark skin, but waiting for a model with a dark skin I would settle even for a model with a pale skin.
Faithful in the centuries
&
Yes, True,
I think it is doable
And in fact, a large part of Nubian clergy was coptic,
so no personnal problem to add them white priests,
Edit: I have changed that, Makurian priests are like orthodox one;
But their color are not green...

Impressive progress.
Thanks to Jermagon for the extensive list which will make the mod even better!
Yes, it would be great if a big part of Jermagon's idea would be in this submod.
Some of them would be very difficult/impossible to script (i have any idea how to script the belonging to the prophet family or something like that), but some other can obviously easily be done.
If someone want help me to script some of Jermagon's propostion, i would be glad
This is great! Thank you!
Byzantineboy is great, Broken crescent is one of the best mods ever but it's traits system and ancy is terrible, Thanks God we have Byzboy to improve it
Julio85 no my friend can you tell which book you are talking about it?
Thank you Jermagon
I think this afternoon/tomorow , I will add a lot of your ancy's ideas,
Right, BC is the best TW mod i knew, BC units/music/map are far better than all other mods.
I have played TATW, it's a very good mod too... but i don't know why, i found it boring...
That's great new my friend, Third age Tw is great, especially the graphic and the units and the custom settlement, but I like BC the most.
by the way my friend I downloaded the last update but I can't find the unique buildings, I started a new Ayyubid campaign however I couldn't find the Coptic monasteries in upper Egypt.
Also can you add the the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina as a unique building, it's the second Mosque in Islam
