    well, it would be unnatural for there to be muslim princesses in this game, so nobody dared create such a mod that would allow it

    Well, technically I think that the Muslims did use princesses for tactical diplomatic marriages and alliances. However, I doubt they would have been going around seducing enemy generals or making diplomatic deals.

    In truth, western Princess rarely did that either, they were actually used in pretty much the same way, an envoy would be send to arrange marriage, not the princess themself actually slipping into some generl's castle butt naked or anything the thing with marrying generals that turn them to yours is a rather questionable portail of how feudalism obligation worked back then to begin with.

    Also, yes islamic factions did often marry daughters for political purpose, either to their own generals and occasionally to other factions heir / leader, for exampl several Abbasid caliphs married the daughter of Seljuq leaders. and there were probably some cross marraige between say.. the steppe people and the Turks / Khwarezm.

    Islamic women in the middle ages were within what we know where really not that much more restricted than their Christian counterparts, though obviously it varies between different regions, Averroes even made claims that women were totally equal to men in every regard, including war, some of the earliest islamic followers and warriors included women too.

    Berber women under the Almoravids rarely covered their face at all, since the Almoravids came from a more... let's say wild section of the Berber world , the later Almohads at first was more strict on that but really didn't enforce it much later on either.

    Unfortunately historical developement for Islam in general had veered off pretty badly from the Medieval era onward, but to assume somethign from today as the norm of a thousand year ago is usually risky at best.

    So the conclusion is, yeah making Islamic princess actually make sense, provided someone can do one that doesn't butcher the texture too much.
    1180, an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity in East Asia, it's technology and wealth is the envy of the world. But soon conflict will engulf the entire region with great consequences and lasting effects for centuries to come, not just for this region, but the entire known world, when one man, one people, unites.....
