That's great, however, I'll rather appeal to reality, where Georgia out of all places did a better job in 1204 as a state than the crusaders ever could. If this mod pertains to have any history integrity, then show some diversity in the factions. It's rather inefficient to have 3 order factions when you could find a way to include them in one of the feudal states in the Middle East.Archi the great said:

until the invasion of the barbarian -christians by name only- west europeans invaded in Holly lands and start to kill
undefended people of all religions !
They were knights but they behaved like butchers!
Islamic world saw such barbarism for the 1st time in its timeline!
The revenge for the death of those undefended people was what we call a Jihad!
Before that Jihad was ONLY the spiritual war inside each man against evil!
Modern Jihad is the Crusaders legacy in the modern world.
The massacre of innocent people Crusaders taught to humanity!
Agreed.
no no,when Muslims conquered Sassanids,they slaughtered them like heretic dogs,history repeatsDemonwolf said:AnthoniusII said:They were happy because civilians had nothing to afraid durring the wars between states (islamic or christian)ShinyKnight said:Why are all so happy in this picture? they were all going to die because of the christian invadersmatmohair1 said:The Holy Land during the era of the crusades

EDIT: sorry for the bolded writing first time, I was trying to make my replies distinct from the quoted post without resorting to using different coloured letters.
EDIT 2: I decided to delete what I had originally written here as it was an overly aggressive 'shouty' post in response to crusader atrocity comments on the previous page.

Please, back on the topic.
regarding the jizya - it was not used to force conversions
simply it was the equivalent of a welfare tax
if a person converted to Islam he would pay the zakat instead which was higher than the jizya
so technically converting wasn't tax evasion - LOL

Main idea of Mount and Blade is warfare, Mekka is too far from the historic battlefields so Mekka is not necessary in mod. Muslims and Christians fought for Jerusalem and it is in the mod.Karakurt said:
Historically Georgia is not the part of conflict between Crusaders states and Muslims and if we will add new faction in mod it might be remains of the Byzantine Empire but no Georgia. Teutons, Hospitaliers and Templars are mini factions and they will not have big armies and they do not violate the balance of power. They obeyed to the Pope but not to King, so we decide not to make them vassals of any kingdom. But all Knight Orders in mod are allies of Crusader states.Gothic Knight said:

Just want to register my interest, this looks stunning.
I hope there will be a Jerusalem map!
I also have a question, alongside this incredible looking singleplayer experience, will there be a multiplayer component. I am asking because with models and maps of this quality it seems like a waste not to have.

They're not doing the Romans(neither the Trebizond or Nicean empire) so not point posting East Roman pictures.
