V1-V3 Tahar Caliphate Fan Thread.

Easily the most powerful Faction in the Game:

1. Cannon Elephants, never mind real life tests showed that no matter how light the cannon, the recoil would break the elephant's back. Ballista and Catapult Elephants are more realistic.

2. Musket Elephants, charge them into any opposition and they will conquer.

3. Camel Archers and Gunners, they just wreck your opposition.

4. Solid Militia

5. Good Cash and Large Unit Pool from Castles.

House Rules I play by.

1. All towns I capture are converted to castles.

2. I do not convert castles to cities.

3. I exterminate the Cities I do capture.

This faction is perfect for Maneuver and Defense specialists.

Elephants on Thera have much thicker bones , (remember the fantasy mod bit)
Nice to see this faction being used though, no one has really posted about them yet +rep

i use them,the problem is that people only talk about their favorite factions i like to use every faction because every faction is different but i always get back to the Reich

[Pink Beard]

I do play them ocassionally. But I usually don't get far enough I guess. I've never seen the Tahars use elephants

Yep, Pinky just got to the Camel part... But I have to admit, I never played them long enough to see them use Elephants, too.
Good thing that this faction finally got it's fan thread!

[crazyguy1916]

I havent really found a "prefect" faction for me, but I think that Tahars might be it!

[KngGilgamesh]

the Nafatun Elephant were a great idea, they can kill with flame, and by trampling, great against heavy Infantry.

[Julianus Flavius]

Also fabulous against other pachyderms (Yes just to include mammoths, they aren't technically elephants), without the danger of being trampled before they can let fly the boomyness.

[toluas]

pachyderms

Massive respect!

Cheers! I did a test, those naffatun eles vs the sykorax mammoth riders without guns. No casualties at all. They were like half a metre real distance from my guys when they went 'Splosion.

[Agamemnon]

Cool.

[Daraunon]

Yes,cool,but I'm curious as to why this new unit would be given to the Tahar...with the whole "Camel and Elephant" thing they already had some character,and I also liked the fact that they had a lot of nomadic troops...so the real question would be:why giving gunpowder to them?

[TheFirstONeill]

:why giving gunpowder to them?

They already posses more firearm units than any other islamic faction, and there close proximity to both the Faust and the Valiente makes there use of firearms logical.

[Daraunon]

Duh,sorry about not noticing before,was too busy facing Elephants
Anyway I see your point,but I find that the "line infantry" feel could stand out in a strange way when put beside nomadic troops.

Their low to mid range roster is nomadic, they have a professional elite teir already this is a unit that will fall into place with them,

They were previewed here

[TheFirstONeill]

TFON, it is brown. However, I personally think that the red in the marines and greystokes looks great, and I would like to see a faction made specifically to use late british empire-looking skins (so my line infantry have someone to shoot at MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!).

In version 4 there is a Tahar equivilant of muslim line infantry

That reminds me, are the giants still going to be implemented in Therav4?
