ALMORAVIDS (Moors, Maghreb)

[Jurand of Cracow]

Great work Jurand! I also see "Berber help for moors" , is it the "almohad invasion" in Iberia? Also you think that for moors faction is possible make a "transition script" similar to fatimids-ayyubids-mamluks?
For moors would be Almoravids-Almohads-Benimerin/Nazaries
The almohads would have more berber and african troops from Morocco and North Africa.

it can be interpreted as the Almohad invasion, even though Almohads would rather disrupt political system of the Almoravides than help them.
Yes, transition of the Almoravids is possible, if I'd have some time in the future - or somebody else would do analyse Fatimid-Ayyubid-Mamluk script, check it, and then make a similar one for Maghrib.

[Jurand of Cracow]

I'm thinking about degrading the city of Tunis to lower level. It became the seat of power of the local rulers (the Hafsids) only in the mid-13th century, and our mod starts over 100 years earliers. The city must have been smaller at that time.

[j.a.luna]

A little issues for developers, is possible change some names of units more correct historically?
1.Saxon huscarls--- Mercenary Anglosaxon Huscarls. Because in 1132 they already were mercenary soldiers for normans and also in Constantinople (after the battle of Hastings in 1066) and also were anglos and saxons in these troops...
2.Varangian Guard- Anglovarangoi Guard. Same answer, they were formed also for english men in this time, not only nordic people.

For other hand, about recruitment of black troops (african soldiers) for fatimids at the beginning of the game, where is possible recruit them???the backbone of the Fatimid armies were black Sudanese and southern African troops, I think it should be possible to recruit them as AOR units in their barracks at least in the Egyptian zones, because currently in the game we only have the initial armies and then only we can recruit shutah militia, andath militia and

Ok Jurand, but my question is if this 4 african units (african javelinmen, african, spearmen, african archers and african tribal warriors is possible to recruit in egyptians quarters (cities or castles) or only as mercenaries in the egyptian areas??
I say this because at least at the beginning of the game could be recruited in the quarters of Cairo( the capital and famous for much slaves) and the southest settlement of egyptians (named Qus???), It is for make more unique and historical fatimids from other muslims factions

as could be seen in the code: this is code in EDB, this means they're recruitable in the buildings in the settlements, incl. Cairo and Qus. The code for mercenaries' file is a bit different - and again, they're recruitable there as well.
There's also a late era unit - Sudanese Gunners.

In my last campaign with the Fatimidids I saw that it was possible to recruit only Sudanese archers and Sudanese warriors then Sudanese gunners with buildings-only Sudanese troops precisely; African spearmen and javelin only mercenaries.

[Jurand of Cracow]

I wonder to what extend the gunners are historical unit? It seems to me to be one of the SS un-historical units...
Another issue: I'd think javelinmen double with tribal warriors, actually. In Africa I'd go for:

- Sudanese warriors - standard unit: armed with javelins and spears, no armour
- Sudanese archers - weak bow unit, reflecting hunters in this area
- African spearmen - professional African unit, with padded armour as they're

You may don't know, @Mattus, but there's a limited number of units in the Med2 engine (500) and we're looking on opportunities to free up some of them to introduce other units in other areas in other eras.

Yes Jurand, i agree with you in remove african javelinmen, but maybe is possible make another african/dessert units as Numibian cavalry--- Famous african cavalry with javelins and axes and swords, or Camel Riders ( Tuaregs), Camels with spears and swords with typical tuareg dress, in north Africa and middle east, also in North Egypt. Also for moors and egypt should make a elite black unit on foot with maces,swords and armour.
I think also that is work for kostic units...
Here, in my dessert proposal unit for sship exist some changes for these units and also the regional building of caravansary.... Here the link:
https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...cussion/page42

[Jurand of Cracow]

In the next version of the SSHIP there'll be actually three regional buildings available for the Almoravids:

[j.a.luna]

wow wonderful Jurand!!! although I thought that "Oasis" was also for Egyptian regions and Arabia...
As for the Alcázares for the Moors they already repeat a berber light cavalry unit, I think the Alcázares could provide them with an infantry unit like Andalusian spearmen in Andalusian regions and berber spearmen in North Africa.
Caravansary and slave markets would also be regional buildings for the Moors, right?

[Jurand of Cracow]

Oasis - all deserts regions, Arabia of course, but also Sijilmasa and Tarabulus in Africa.
Units will be gradually attached to the buildings, in the future (and some removed).
Caravanseray and Slave markets - as they're until now, I haven't dealt with them yet.

[a Dictator's Cigar]

I bumped into this Almoravid unit which appears in the late era gameplay of Almoravids. It's an Armoured Urban Militia which looks very cool, yet with a werid Attack\Defence ratio. wouldn't it be fair it had at least the attack level of 4?

yeah, I don't know - I haven't delved into those stats. You might be right, we'll take this observation into considerations, thanks!

[MoorsihSultan]

well the mod is great but the names are strange except the names of the generals and members of the house (female names are really strange) just get the usual arabic names given for al fatimids .
forts should be added ( idk if it's already i'm playing 0.9.7)
the game start in 1132 with almohad rise + abdulmumin as a general in fez you can make the sultan with low reputation his sons you can make em rebels after a time + you can make abdulmumin more likely to be a familly member once he get in house tree and get title of heir , once he's a sultan the almohad era start . + when its 1268 you can spawn again the leader of almarinids with notification of the beggining of marinid rule .
for andalusia toledo is the heart of castille (it should be the capital or at least a large city) so it should be surrounded by more cities in south and west ( JAEN , BAEZA , TALVERRA , TRUJILLO , MALAGON , CACERES , SALAMANQUA , ALBACETE , ALARCOS fort , CALATRAVA fort , MAGACELA fort in sevilla's north even it's under moorish rule ) chapters of santiago and calatrava to be added to settlements + make Toledo under supervision of papal state so if its conquered by moors the pope must launch a crusade whenever it's possible.
portugal contain only coimbra it's easy to destroy it just add Santarem and Oporto because santarem was the real capital before lisbon ( beja can be added) + adding the knights of aviz .
aragon you can add Tarragona or tortosa to protect Zaragoza + some forts
one more thing add malaga or almeria

Don't play 0.97, play 0.98 ! Especially for the Almoravids faction, there're many changes
If you're versed in the Maghrebi medieval noble names, just correct the list
forts are disabled by design in the SSHIP, explained here.
initial character setting - yes, this is to be done in the later future. incl. Almohads and Almarinids.
military orders chapters - to be reviewed in the future. I'm not sure if in 1132 Santiago and Calatrava should be there.
automatic crusade on Toledo - also not sure how historical it would be.
List of the cities - due to the hardcoded limit of provinces in the Medieval2 engine, it's not possible to add any more. Plus you should think in terms of regions, not cities.

in my sicilian campaign and fighting against the moors this "armored urban militia" unit is too OP, they have almost as much armor as the knights and they appear after the heavy mail event for the moors in their cities, which can recruit enough, to be an urban militia I think they should be weaker and perhaps cheaper, I also comment that their unit model is old and ugly (vanilla model) I think kostic should give it a more current model focusing on the Andalusian urban militias (they had crossbows and swords) I hate seeing old vanilla models in this beautiful mod.


HERE MY ANDALUSIAN AND IBERIAN PROPOSAL FOR KOSTIC UNITS:

https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...stumes)/page34

[j.a.luna]

Hello Jurand adn sship team , I want to continue and be more specific about the unit roster (Moorish-Andalusian) for Iberian peninsula.

As for the "Berber" unit roster, I agree with both proposals from both @WeekendGeneral and @Thorbjorn Jagelund, in addition to including the attribute of "combat bonus in deserts" for all Berber and African troops (it is logical because it was their environment of origin).
Here are the proposal threads of both players:

1.- https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...Moors-Maghreb)

2.- https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...nd-Suggestions

MY ANDALUSIAN PROPOSAL:

3.- https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...N-amp-CASTILLE


Regarding my proposal for the Andalusian troops, I have been learning about and reading articles / books about the reconquest and the Andalusian and Christian armies and I think I could do the descriptions of the units if you wanted to, in addition to trying to guide you with their recruitment and skills since They would be AOR units that only occurred in that wide region called "Andalusia" or "Al-Andalus" by Muslims, in addition to being a very peculiar troop because they were made up of a mixture of Christians, Muslims and MOZÁRABES (Christians who lived since long ago in Muslim lands), therefore the military equipment of these lands was very similar to the European one but included variations in its style due to being in continuous contact with the Muslims (Almoravids and Almohads).
I leave you some images of how these troops would be so that Kostic can one day represent them in sship mod.

Hi Jurand, in this old entry still exist good proposals for moors unit roster , i think that should not be forgotten, and when you have time and ii it is possible it would great make it happen

[eyelurker]

So apparently Almoravid will have a unique mechanic that isn't implemented yet and it make me want to talk about them.

From what i know from my limited gathering on Almoravid is their manpower are largely relied on their Moors holdings because the Andalusian while wealthy makes for a poor combatant while in the game the military power are tied by how large and wealthy your city/castle are.

In addition they have always been described as poor at sieges although i think this one would be tricky to be implemented in the game.
