arab tribes

[ALFAJI]

salam elekom

i want to ask you will there be some arab tribes units in the mod
and if you need help i'm ready for it

and ready to help you to make some arab units for the Fatimid faction
and the shami faction

[sumskilz]

Yeah, I think tribal Arabs are important regional units so we've made room for at least four types. For these units, our research is really preliminary so some help on names and troops types would be useful. I think there should at least be Cavalry, Spear armed infantry, and some skirmishers and/or missile troops.

At this point we have been using a naming convention like this: Khayalet al Badw, Rumat al Badw, etc. But if you have better suggestions, please let us know.

By "average", do you mean generic? If so, that is kind of the point since we need to have only a few units represent all the tribes. Or did you mean "average" as in "okay, but could be better"?

New and creative is good, but we're more concerned about whether its correct and historically accurate tbh.

Khayalet al Badw, Rumat al Badw, these are average to us, call them tribes like khayalet suleem. I will help you with it.

What is suleem in English? Or is it the name of a tribe?

[ALFAJI]

suleem is a arab tribe and one of the the tribe and went with bani hilal to africa

Yes, the problem is that we can only have so many units. We can only have, say, one unit of tribal Outremer bowmen, so we can't call them 'Suleem bowmen' if they have to apply to the Egyptians, Turks, Syrians and Seljuqs, if you see what i mean.

explain more please

[Copperknickers II]

explain more please

For example: if there were a limit of four tribal units for Anatolia:

We could have 'X Tribe bowmen, 'Y tribe Bowmen, 'Z tribe bowmen, 'X tribe horse archers'.

But that would only allow us 2 types of units. What we want to do is have as much variety as possible, so instead of saying 'X tribe', we would do:

'Turcoman bowmen', 'Turcoman horse archers, 'Turcoman infantry, 'Turcopole horse archers'.

This allows more units. Plus, what if we had to have Arab tribal cavalry for the Seljuqs, Syrians and Egyptians. We can only have one type of unit called 'Arab tribal cavalry'. So it is unlikely that in history, every Tribal cavalryman serving under these came from the same tribe.

it will be good idea if the units were unlimited
