Equal Holy Wars

[Dumanthis]

I have been wondering since Medieval 2 TW came out that why there is only a cinematic for a Crusade that is called and not for Jihad? However there is a all-ready-ready-to-go Jihad cinematic in the Crusades campaing in Kingdoms when the event "Saladins Jihad" comes. Could it be possible to add this cinematic to the KGCM mod whenever the Jihad is called. Im not a muslim but i think that both holy wars should at least have their own cinematics . PS Sorry for my bad english.

Hmmm never thought to do that but yes it is very easy to do actually merely make a monitor event jihad called and make the commmand to play the jihad bik .

Might actually add that to my sub mod heroes hordes and beyond

...and as a mini sub mod for KGCM original

This kinda thing is quite small for to be the main point of a single submod and it feels like very basic element. Maybe you could add it to the next version of the KGCM whether it should appear . KGCM FTW!

or that too

As dave has retired and he has wished me well in hopefully continuing work with his mod new versions will not be coming hence why HHB has been made the official submod of KGCM that will be as close to a version 4.3 as you will get unless the master returns we can always hope.

I noticed that the there also is a huge gap between the variety of the Holy war units on Christian and Muslim sides in addition that there is only three starting muslim factions. The muslims are just simply lacking! They get only Ghazis, Mutawwi'as, Akinjis' and Hashashins via order house while the christian factions can get a huge armies of different types of knights and soldiers. I am not much of a modder myself however but I understood that you also make new units for the mod so I suggest a few on the muslim side based on my research on Islamic forces to make some balance :

Mujaheddins (Spearmen, Jihad related)
Mujaheddin Archers (Missile, Jihad related)
Mujaheddin Cavalry (Light Cavalry, Jihad related)
(Sufi)Dervishes (Heavy/Light Infantry, via Sufi Order house maybe)
(Sufi) Dervish Cavalry (Heavy/Light Cavalry, via Sufi Order house maybe)
+...........

((A Mujahid (Arabic: مجاهد, muǧāhid, literally "struggler", "justice-fighter" or "freedom-fighter") is a person who is fighting for freedom. The plural is mujahideen (Arabic: مجاهدين‎, muǧāhidīn). The word is from the same Arabic triliteral as jihad ("struggle").
Mujahideen is also transliterated from Arabic as mujahedin, mujahedeen, mujahedīn, mujahidīn, muđahedin, mujaheddīn and variants.))
((Sufism or tasawwuf (Arabic: تصوّف‎), also spelled tasavvuf according to the Persian pronunciation, is generally understood to not be a distinct sect of Islam, but the inner, mystical dimension of Islam .A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a ṣūfī (صُوفِيّ), though some adherents of the tradition reserve this term only for those practitioners who have attained the goals of the Sufi tradition. Another name used for the Sufi seeker is Dervish))

I think that the outlook of the mujaheddin units could be very simple:same model as berber spearmen/desert archer units but just with completely black clothes and black banners (Black Banner is the banner of Islam).
Sufis could be middle-eastern units with white clothes (+ maybe tall fets hats) as it was also a typical colour for organized military units in those days but it would separate them from the Jihad units.

A noble suggestion of mine, sorry for the overlengthness .

wow black looking beber spearmen would look so cool

I came across a wild idea: This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kOadnpnDu8 could be used for the battle theme when the battle screen comes along when the forces are settled on the campaign map
Little off topic but anyway a good suggestion i think.
