Sicily was under Byzantine control, Byzantine used Sicily to attack north african shores and raid coastal villages and disturbe the trade.

The Muslims had enough reasons to take Sicily,and they made sicily the best place in Italy if not to say Europe.for Jerusalem it is true that there was a sultan that was very harsh on the pilgrims but was soon overthrown and all the dammaged was repaired, but the pope chose to attack anyway.

Not to forget that the norman kings used to speak arabic.
Just like speaking french in england.

Anyway Sicily became a tolerant and far more better(education, beatifull cities, science of all kind while europe was in a dark age, the eastern empires were in their renaissance) place than in the hand of the christians.

Oh and stop reading oriantalist books, most of them are liars if not all.

You don't read european history books written by arabs....

Ok now stop if you want to continue there is the PM's  let's stick with the topic or we make our dear friend Ferdiad very angry

let's just stick with the mod shall we?

That's what i said 

Im a Muslim myself and i khow what im talking about, and i can tell you that there is nothing in the Qur'aan that says go kill peapol to convert them.

If you ever heard something telling something else it's just common lies that you see on TV and or some websites wich quickly get refuted.
If the Qur'aan do tell that, give me one verse.

Most of north african peapol converted to Islam peacefully (with expetion to the Byzantine empire allies we all khow that it's Byzantine that made Saracens invade sicily in retelation to what their fleet was doing on the tunisian shores), and since i'm north african myself and i khow our history well.

Anyway i don't want to argue about religion again it's a long thing to debate (especialy if you got your ideas from the sources i said above), let's just stick with the mod shall we?

Elenmmare 说:

Right. We'll give him a hail of stones.

Ferdiad, how far will the Saracen's extend? Will they simply be a nation you can crusade against, or will we be frantically fighting off their Jihads?

Well you got stuff wrong here; 
There was never a crusade against the muslim sicily until the Normans came with just the pope "support".

Jihad does not mean attacking someone, but rather defending against, so unfortunatly you won't be able to fend off anything. (So Ferdiad you should make the Jihad party to just patrol around Sicily or overall controlled lands)

You may get confused between that Crusade = Jihad but it's realy the opposite. (Jihad = Effort/ struggle)

When did the second term "Jihad" came?

After the first crusade, Salah Ad-Din AKA Saladin called on the Jihad for every able bodied man to come and take back what was once theirs, and defeat the invaders.

The orginal meaning is a jihad in the inner self against your invading desires and bad toughs.

Add this to your informations!

What happens when you renounce your oath too your king in such a position? You know the one when you don't get the castle?

点击展开...

I don't fully understand your question but when you renounce your oath to your lord, then you are free of his juristiction and all your lands return to him. Its like starting the game over without riding yourself of party members, items, and character level.

When you renouce your oath to your king, he takes from you the fiefs he gave you (without you conquering them) but what you conquerd is yours.
I did it once i was with the english, i took a castle and it was a tough fight but when i asked him for it (by then i only had a village) he refused, then i refused my oath to him, took the french city nearby me, and here i have my own kingdom but with no vassals wich is a litle hard because i had both the french and the english attacking me but i beaten them all because all my troops were knights so i just cobnquerd every city and castle in the map and here i am.

Could be very fun if we could build our own kingdom and recruit vassals.

Nice helmets! 

Im not very sure about it, i'll look for it tomorrow.

Okay here is what i found about the army:

They had light cavalry:  fast horses, no armor on them (horses), wore light armor, bows and scimitars with a shield.

And heavy cavalry but the heavy cavalry they are somewhat not widespread and in a way equal to european knights of the time, armed with lances and scimitars, sometimes bows. They were called Fursans
equipment:
Quoted: Most faris wore a hauberk of chain-mail or lamellar metal plates. This would be worn beneath a garment. Mail hauberks were known as dir and scale cuirasses were called jawshan. Some warriors wore two suits of armour. Helmets such as the baydah - the ‘egg helmet’ were popular. The riders face might be protected by a curtain, or aventail, of chain-mail.
There were many different types of shield - many faris carried the circular tur whilst others bore shields that resembled those of Knights.
The lance was an important weapon. Muslim warriors practised a two-handed style of lance-wielding, where a blow could allegedly transfix an opponent through two layers of mail.
Maces were aswell widely spread so they could crush good quality armours.


Archers: Very skilled archers also khown for their exellent use of the composite bow, light armor for fast deployment and retreat (increase in athletics skill) (It is said that there was a small number of women archers within the ranks not beyond 300 but anyway this information isn't 100% corrrect)

Infantry:
They used lances with big shields, Scimitars with small shield (size 40-50)
both heavy and light armors, you could always get some troops names from eastern armies they are similar in some points

And as for every army there was a flagcarrier.

Did i forgot something? 

Hope this helps!

Here is what i found, hope it helps
Intro:
The Moors ruled Sicily for two centuries and a few decades but their influence was nothing short of monumental. Under their administration, the island's population doubled as dozens of towns were founded and cities repopulated. The Arabs changed Sicilian agriculture and cuisine. Their scientific and engineering achievements were remarkable. More significantly, they changed society itself. To this day, many Sicilian social attitudes reflect the profound influence --often in subtle ways-- of the Arabs who ruled a thousand years ago but who (with the Greeks and others) are the ancestors of today's Sicilians.
The Arabs introduced superior irrigation systems; some of their qanats (channels) still flow under Palermo. They established the Sicilian silk industry, and at the court of the Norman monarch Roger II great Arab thinkers like the geographer Abdullah al Idrisi were welcome. Agriculture became more varied and more efficient, with the widespread introduction of rice, sugar cane, cotton and oranges. This, in turn, influenced Sicilian cuisine. Many of the most popular Sicilian foods trace their origins to the Arab period.

900 to 1150:
Dozens of towns were founded or resettled during the Saracen era, and souks (suks, or street markets) became more common than before. Bal'harm (Palermo) was repopulated and became one of the largest Arab cities after Baghdad and Cordoba (Cordova), and one of the most beautiful. Construction on Bal'harm's al-Khalesa district built near the sea was begun in 937 by Khalid Ibn Ishaq, who was then Governor of Sicily. Despite later estimates of a greater population, there were probably about two hundred thousand residents in and around this city by 1050, and it was the capital of Saracen Sicily. Bal'harm was the official residence of the Governors and Emirs of All Sicily, and al-Khalesa (now the Kalsa district) was its administrative center. As we've mentioned, in 948 the Fatimids granted a degree of autonomy to the Kalbid dynasty, whose last "governor" (effectively a hereditary emir), Hasan II (or Al-Samsan), ruled until 1053. By then, Kasyr Yanni (Enna), Trapani, Taormina and Syracuse were also self-declared, localized "emirates." (This word was sometimes used rather loosely to describe any hereditary ruler of a large locality; in law Sicily had been a unified emirate governed from Palermo since 948, but by the 1050s the others had challenged his authority over them.)

Byzantium hadn't forgotten Sicily, and in 1040 George Maniakes, at the head of an army of Byzantine-Greeks, Normans, Vikings and Lombards, attempted an invasion of Sicily without success. By the 1050s, the Pope, and some Norman knights from this failed adventure, were casting a long glance toward Sicily with an eye to conquest. This desire was later fueled by dissension among the island's Arabs, leading to support by the Emir of Syracuse for the Normans against the emirates of Enna and North meets South and East meets West in Palermo in 1148. Tomb inscriptions in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic.Palermo. Most of these internal problems developed after the ruling Fatimids moved their capital from Tunisia to Egypt, where they established Cairo (near ancient Memphis).


Also the Saracens had very strong archers, and the Sultanate of Sicilia did had control over all sicily for 2 centuries and a half, until they became divided into 3 Emirates, then the Normans came and found them easy prays, I don't khow why Saracens always get divided but that's the same reason they got pushed out of Iberia.

Anyway i'm from Morocco and i khow more about Andalous(Moorish Iberia) than about the Emirate of Sicily because i have Andalusian roots myself 

Good luck with the mod my friend!

No the khergits are just good like this, if you make them weaker they will be easier to beat, and that will frustrate me 

Changes? Like we get our own Kingdom maybe?  Would be cool 

Vooooted 

Well if he can mannage to give us lightsabers instead of swords that would be a great mod! (With Lightsaber sounds please) or give us some cool jedi/sith suits

Looks like a good idea for a mod, but i suggest you take it on when 1.0 comes out since there will be alot of new stuff for sure.
And you need a team 

Please Toof if there is a patch coming or something, i'de like to see more Muslim equipment.
Is it possible to have each city offer a "basic" set of equipment because sometimes i go to Damascus i only find western weapons wich is not logical
Anyway great mod! I enjoy it very much!
And keep up the good work!

Just to comfirm:
Troops spawning on the trees still there.
Well it has a negative and positive thing:
I always play as a khergit so they are easy targets
You can't find them quickly in a forest
Oh and for the forest bandits that suits them, Robin Hood

Yeah realy good job with the loading times! 
But i get a graphic bug.
Some weapons/shields sometimes even objects start to look like lightsabers lol bows are all black color i can't even see the shape in the market screen
First time i fought against the nord dudes they had those great 2  handed swords i tough they were Jedis  their swords were glowing with a blue light
Other than this i had no problem at all, but this bug is anoying (Or maybe its just my video card?? the 0.903 worked fine for me with the mods too)

And I can't wait to go up through Italy to rape the Normans!
