Did you know what Broken Crescent logo stands for

did you know what Broken Crescent logo stands for.



the logo is a verse from the Quran written in Arabic that says: (Wa Qul rabi zidni i'lman) وقل ربي زدني علما

Translation: "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge"

[k/t]

No, I didn't. I didn't see any writing in it, haha. It's a special calligraphic kind of Arabic, right?

وقل ربي زدني علماThis I would have identified as writing, but when it's a square, no.

Geez, that writing carries the Arabic keyboard system when you copy and paste it. First I had trouble highlighting the text from right to left, and then the English text kept coming out on the left side instead of on the right even when the blinking text bar was where it should have been.

Great first post!

[wudang_clown]

That's very interesting, indeed.

You think it fits the scope of the mod?

[Almihjani]

yes indeed, knowledge is always needed, the more you know the powerful you get, and that's the goal of the game
great mod by the way, good job!

BC has been the start of my knowledge to medieval Islamic/Middle Eastern History and the reason for more research, I'd say it fits like the fist on the eye

Agreed. BC caused me to minor in Islamic Studies!

[hameem123]

idk but i think during that time they are fond of masking Qur'anic verse or saying thru a lot of designs may it be on their swords,armor or even shields,a example of the shield is what i see from the Malikate of Sindh Spearman they have this Tiger-like symbol but if you look closely it is formed by several arabic texts.....anyway this mod also helped me understand about Islamic History during that time,i play games to learn and enjoy and this mod is a great example of it.

[jermagon]

Great find my friend +rep , although my first language I never noticed this before

[k/t]

You discovered this by yourself?

[Almihjani]

yes.
I'm learning a lot from this game and specifically this mod. history and strategy.
also when you play a foiegn faction than your origin, you can see their understanding and vision about other. you count your self as one of them, at least virtually, which -I think- helps in understanding other nations and accepting their different view.

glad to spread knowledge, again, this mod is perfection.

thank you all
