Doubst about "moors"

[FREDREX]

I have made some propaganda in a spanish forum but they and i have some questions about the moors in north africa and not in south spain you can explain that?

[OdinX]

Well, while I'm not the moorish research head, I think I should be able to solve your question, but you need to be more specific.

By 'propaganda' you mean you have been spreading the Good Word about DotS, correct? In that case, tell them that the Moors will indeed be in control of their capital, Cordoba, and their coastal stronghold, granada, so no worries about that. We also have about 20 regional mercenary units for Muslim Spain. (we had to cut it down).

[OdinX]

And there he is, and he answered your question I hope, awesome.

[FREDREX]

Thanks for the answers the word of DOTS have to be spread in all the world

They ask this

he Moors begin in the Sahara (as the previews says), but in the year 1080 they are settled in the Iberian Peninsula, in fact, they invaded it in the year 711.

Can you explain it?. Is a historical wrong?, i dont think so

[Copperknickers II]

They were in the Iberian Peninsula, yes, but afaik i they also still had Morocco in 1080.

This is the territories of the Almoravid Dynasty C.1080:

You say that they have 20 regional units? I hope so, because Vanilla Moors had a very boring roster, and weak too .

[Copperknickers II]

There are 21 regional units for Al-Andalus and the Maghreb, plus the moors own roster. This is subject to change, however.

Sounds good - I hope you find a skinner!
Oh, and Merry Christmas...

[Copperknickers II]

[OdinX]

[Copperknickers II]

He's away, yes, but he will with any luck come back in a couple of months. Anyhow, i am learnign to skin

[Basil 11]

they have a weird roster in vanilla... but not neccesarily a weak one, the camel gunner is possibly the single most rigged unit in the entire game, a full stack with a few heavy cav for support is basically unbeatable no matter what your composition is . they shot up heavy units like flies, and to add insult to injury their camel + gunpowder effect give them a huge moral bonus against any light cav that manage to catch them. most of the time the majority of their losses come from friendly fire more than anything any enemy unit can do to them.

Also, Christian guard's stats is amusingly better than any other knights in unmodded versions.

the funny thing is that their description says they have a strong starting roster and a weak late one, when in reality it's the other way around, Christian guards + camel gunner is basically a walking armagadon while their early troops are really tough to work with. only semi advantage is desert archers . So in the early phase you really need to outplay the AI , later on it's simply a matter of watching your execution squad on camels do their thing.

I have doubst about the accuracy of this thread regarding the current state of DotS.

Also they all wore orange.

Rest assured our camel cannons and camel mortars will really outdo the vanilla roster and be just as historical.

Yeah despite what Coppers initially said most of Spain will consist of Taifas represented as individual 'rebels' in 1080. The Almoravids will have a powerful starting position ready to sweep into Iberia.

Is there a script in place to represent the Almoravids being invited into Spain by the Taifas?

There will be.
