Well, I am not sure what Mirage or Alpha's plans are, but an issue we had was that we needed a good way to differenciate in names the Close Bow and Regular Bow Horse Archers. We have read that the Horse Archers of the near east could pierce armor with their bows at a close range, and that the instances of their apparent ineffectiveness were when they fought at a distance.

So we've created two separate units, since we cannot code the distance to decide the damage. Right now what we have to differenciate them is the abbreviation CB and RB (Close/regular bow) on their unit cards. Can you think of a Turkish term that would be accurate and be able to be a prefix to "Turkomans" and "Medium Turkomans"?

For example, if there's a turkish term for armor piercing, or for close range, or skirmishing, and so on. It needs to work with an english term so that the people know what the unit is. What we could use is two Turkish terms distinct enough to contrast the close and regular bow units.

Hi Nizam,

I'm glad you like the mod. The Seljuk units are indeed a work of art and AlphaDelta has done pure wonders with them. We're very proud of it as it seems we're probably the first game ever that has depicted the Turkish tribes so well.

I'm very happy to hear you are advertising for us. Please do spread to the word. We're aiming to represent all the historical peoples of the medievel middle east in a creative but tasteful & historical manner and the Turks are no exception.

If you want to contribute specific ideas about the turkish factions please do so in our faction specific threads. And as Ahiga has mentioned above we'd like some help with some proper Turkish names to give our unique Seljuk units - albiet in an anglicized form.

Thanks
MIRAGE

If I ever learn turkish, lol, I will join your forum.

However since that prospect is a little far in the future, I think I'll wait for an english translation or somesuch to come out (as it says on the front page apparently?)

**Sinan** · April 26, 2007, 11:17 PM

BTW Nizam.. do you have sources for original Seljuk names ? i.e names at the time of entry of Khorasan.

Teshikurler Kardesh.

**Nizam** · April 27, 2007, 10:25 AM

I will post the names you requested asap.Please tell us if you need moreinformation about any other Turkish states like Timurids,Khwarezmians etc.

**Sinan** · April 27, 2007, 03:19 PM

Thanks Nizam, do make sure that whoever you ask know that it should be names at the time of entry into Persia i.e they should go as far back as they can to the Oghuz migration. Salute !

BTW I'm not actually on the mod team, just to avoid any misunderstanding, but I'm sure your info can be used.
