B Medieval [WB] Crusader - Way to expiation

[DanAngleland]

uh ?? ... really ... ?

then it should be totaly AAA mod

It isn't that simple. The mod was begun for M&B, but then pretty much restarted for Warband. As I understand it there have been many changes in people working on the mod as well, which has hindered things. Another way of looking at it is as a mod which has continued despite suffering the setbacks which usually end a mod project. The makers have persevered and are still trying to complete it, yet what do they get in return from their 'supporters'? Very little concrete help, and so the mod development continues slowly.

I'm not trying to bash on ya, but do you expect every single person in the community to contribute anything at all except support?

the Total War Hashashim aren't really assassins,
rather they look more like dismounted light mamluks...

Spoiler

Well thank you for demonstration, nice pictures but in MTW 2 unit description I read that these yours so called "dismounted light mamluks" were actually an assassins. I don't know much of them but maybe they were so skilled so they were recruted either for open battles and assassinations as well as sabotages.

The Ishmailies (a Shia sect) were called Hashashim by their enemies. Only a small number were assassins in the modern sense.  The Ishmailies had castles and lands with peasants so they also had the normal middle eastern troop types.

The sketch is based on the Assassination of Nizam al-Mulk from the Jami‛ al-Tawarikh by Rashid al-Din. (Ilkhanid)

Yes, the Hashashim were not a 'military order,' but rather, a religious sect which had its own power.

To me, it seems like they were a small state ruled by the old man of hte mountain, rather than a religious sect.

How do they call the Old Man of the Mountain in Arabic?

In Assasin's Creed it's Al-Mualim but that means Divine Master, I think.

I don't expect more than a small minority to contribute, I have never helped with a mod myself, but some people have unrealistic expectations of highly anticipated mods such as this one and judge its progress (or lack of) unfairly, so I wanted to explain some of the factors behind the long period it has been in the making.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.  They were under the command of the Old Man of the Mountain, but they were highly religious Shiahs, and actually considered other practitioners of Islam the enemy.  They actually made treaties with the Crusaders and tried several times to murder Saladin. 

 

[Omega_007]

Wen't the Hashashin like the Senussi, putting their version of fun back in fundamentalist Islam?

Because I've always known both to be murderous fanatics, and thus should make playing them something of a catharsis.

Al Mualim means THE TEACHER, the old man of the mountain is called Sheikh Aljabal.

I'm incredibly excited for this mod!
But it's only a matter of time, looking at recent posts, until there's a multiplayer clan for it named "TEH ASSASSINNNS" pretending to run the place.

Alot of mods release open betas and updates after updates, but still never finish. Then you're left with a half working, bug filled mod.

At least with this one, it will be a full release of an incredibly detailed module... Well worth the wait
