    Default Next Middle Eastern Faction

    I just wanted to get some opinions on what the next Middle Eastern faction should be for this mod. I am tossing around either the Abbasid Caliphate or the Great Seljuqs. This poll is not a vote by any means, but I would like to get a feel for what people think is a better candidate for this mod. Feel Free to comment.

    In this times Abbasid Khalifate is more the spiritual leadership of the sunnits than a military power like the Seldjuks.More,the Seldjuks have the protection of the khalif,and he must defend the way to holy locations of Islam:Jerusalem,Medina,Mekka.

    I tend to agree with this perspective, but I thought I would put the question out there for some input.

    IT's currently 50:50, so i voted for the Abbasids, since nearly every huge mod has the Great Seljuks in and so I wanted to see the Abbasids in...

    Despite what some people believe the late Caliphate was an independent state.

    Certainly, but it was far past its prime.
