Looking forward to play on improved Ottoman graphics and units. And please have someone change the "Vizier of the Seas" to Kapudan-i Derya...

I will do my best to contribute if you guys need anything.

Great, great, great!

Wait, have you already done some modding, or is that screen from the original game?

[Nizam]

You are right, we have already modded the game We made the uniforms of the soldiers and their skin tone whiter(we arent Arab(dark skin)

[Jaguar6]

Wow, and I thought nobody new how to mod Empire yet

So the mod is still based on the Empire time frame right?

Is this mode going to be for empires period??

Yes

Awesome!!!!

can i help?

of course you can

It's awesome to see you guys being able to mod this stuff.

Any chance you guys will be de-team-colorifying some of the non Turkish Ottoman units in their rosters, like those camel riders and Arabs?

first we want to work(model etc) on Ottoman units as they are less historical accurate then the other ones but we will deal with other ones in future.

ahhh i was waiting M:TW for a long time,and wholla i can'y play with "Georgia"
is there any possibilities that it would be playable in patch?

we will try to make all factions playable not only Georgia As we had a chance to try press version and the close beta we have more experiance then the other modders

Iam looking forward to see this mod active

we will do our best to make it out faster but as you know modding is a long process though the more help we get faster it will come

Ηow this team will skin the majority of the turkish units the time that only the Jennicharies had "uniforms"?

The majority of the turkish troops used their "civilian" cloths!!!!
See famous paintings that show 16th to 19th centuries turkish troops...:hmmm:

your information is wrong about about the ottoman troops as the most non-turkish players. As we live in turkey we are able to reach Ottoman archives. When the mod comes out you will be able to see real wearing of the ottoman troops.
For example look first message, after this pics.

Where did you get the idea that all Arabs have dark skin?? Plus not all Ottoman soldiers were Turkish.

Anyways, good to see an Ottoman mod, hope to see more of these in the future.

It's a confusion stemming from a translation issue as the word "Arab" in Turkish usually refers to North African or just African when skin color is mentioned. Arabs, just like the Turks, are not a pure homogeneous ethnic group, but a broader group of people united with cultural bonds.

As per the Ottoman Army, you are right, as none of them were Turkish until the Janissary Corps became corrupted in late 17th Century and Turks were allowed in as well. Until that period, it was strictly limited to "devshirme" children conscripts of various Balkan nations and European slave children.

Christian Greek and Armenian population of Anatolia/Asia were exempt from this conscription system along with all Muslim and Jewish subjects.

As the Janissaries became an elite power with numerous privileges, Bosnian, Albanian Muslims attempted to sign their children as Christians in order to have them become a Janissary. Soon enough, people all over the empire started to bribe the conscription officers (aghas) to register their own children.

As Ottomans didn't have a noble class, once in the Janissary Corps, a child could end up getting promoted all the way up to the Grand Vizier. Since the execution of the last Turkish noble Grand Vizier in 1453 (Fall of Constantinople), none of the Ottoman Grand Viziers were ethnic Turks until the 19th Century.
