Seljuqs
1132
Sultan Rukn al-Dīn Toghrïl (king)
Hamadan (small garrison) and Ray (larger garrison), Isfahan, and Fars. 3 cities 1 Castle.
Rebel Army of Malik Mas'ūd in Tabriz?
Amir Mengü-bars in Fars(general)
Qara Sanqor - General outside Tabriz
Sirāj al-Dīn Qaymaz (Ray)
Khwarezmia (new "dynasty")
Shah al-Dīn Tekish becomes new Ruler in 1194.
For the game, perhaps you automatically gain the some of the cities of the East? You will need them if you want to stand a chance against the Mongols? Access to Persian units? (idk how to script such things)
Sourced from Akhbar al-dawla al-saljuqiyya. There's a translated edition.
The Seljuk Empire was fragmented into multiple smaller states in 1132 when the campaign starts. The two main bases being that of Western Persia (The Great Seljuq Empire) and the Rum Turks in Anatolia. The Khwarez defeated them definitively at Ray in 1194 as I mentioned above. If it were possible, imo, we should have the Dynastic switch in 1194 which would give the faction access to the persian units and perhaps automatically giving the player Nishapur and Merv if they don't already have these settlements? This would illustrate the Khawarz takeover and buff the player for the Mongol Invasion..
Seljuk Sultan becomes Khawarz Shah
Turkic becomes Persian
If too ambitious, I believe switching the faction back to Kharazmia like in SS is better than keeping the Seljuks who could be represented by Rum style rebels.

Rebels
Bavandids (651–1349) could be represented by rebels in Rey, Alamut, and Tabriz area.
Ghurids (879–1215) in the border of the map on Iran. Merv, Kerman?
Salghurids (1148–1282) around Isfahan.
Political Geographics
As above, the Seljuks would be better represented if present in Western Iran with Hamadan as their capital. Khwarezmia would own Merv, Neyshabur, Konjikala, and Urgench, maybe Kerman.
Suggestion
Given that there isn't a "Persian" culture in the game (would be awesome though). The easiest way to improve the Seljuks is to move them West set up as I have briefly outlined above.
