Things the IB team needs to understand about the Berbers!-

[Ayoub of Mauretania Tingitana]

First things first, your mod is a masterpiece, I love it, and what I am going to say now is not hating on you guys, just clarifying some things here and there!

My first experience with you guys is with your mod for Medieval Total War, I obviously started a campaign as the Berbers, since I am a Berber lol, but then what I found really put me off the mod, other than the fact that it lagged on my computer, but that's not your fault, what put me off is the Arab units, and the Arab inspired Berber units, let me just clarify this, Berbers are not a sect or sub-group of Arabs, not the same language, not the same culture, not the same weapons, not the same anything, until they invaded, then the turbans started to show up, so yeah, NO TURBANS in 400s AD...

Then months later, and finally yesterday, I decided to download the mod for Rome Total War BI, after seeing the preview of the factions of Ravina Roma, I noticed that you guys got the flag of the Berbers right, that's a true Berber flag, so, I was like maybe they actually got it right, then I learned that that's an unreleased mod, so yeah, I downloaded v7, hoping, HOPING, HOOOOPING to find unique berber units, but alas, more Arabs and more turbans, and zero Roman influence, considering that the states that emerged from the fall of the Western Roman Empire were called Romano-Berber and Romano-Moorish, IT JUST DOESN'T look like that's what my faction will be after I invade all Roman provinces in North Africa, more like Arabo-Berber and we jumped all the way to the 700s...

1- Arabs came in to the African scene in the 700s, and were overthrown in the 740AD after the Berber Revolt took place.
2- Berbers don't look like Arabs and don't share the same culture, ever heard of Couscous in Saudi Arabia? Yeah, me neither.
3- Be creative and put in some of that Amazigh swag, rather than recycling eastern units, considering how you guys modeled the Barbarians, it seems to me that you just weren't that interested in delivering an authentic view of the Berbers like you did with the Barbarians, esta racista... We deserve love too! lol




KICK ARABS OUT OF NORTH AFRICA!!


Everything else is pretty good, the temples, the names ect, even though they are not really Berber but Punic but yeah, anything but Arab. Thank you for your work!

Hi,

you can be sure 100%, the Berber units of the upcoming new IBBR mod will be unique and do not remember Arab units.
I know the true history
