Mimir
This mod takes place in the "Jahiliyyah" period, pre-Islamic Arabia, around 400-600 A.D. This mod will focus on different tribes each battling for supremacy in the Arab Peninsula. But there'll also be other cultures existing in this mod through characters the player meets on his adventure. From Nubian mercenaries to Greek and Roman heroes from far away. Despite aiming to be 100% historically accurate, there'll be some flaws and changes so I can fit everything together. I hope to make this an enjoyable mod, so there's much work to be done! Here's a little description on the setting -
"Before the people of the Arab Peninsula were united under a single caliphate, a single religion, and a single leader, the dunes of Arabia were strife with lawlessness, war, and conquest. This was the era of worshiped idols, multiple gods, and nomads that roamed the shining deserts."
"Jahiliyyah is an Islamic concept of "ignorance of divine guidance" or "the state of ignorance of the guidance from God" or "Days of Ignorance" referring to the condition in which Arabs found themselves in pre-Islamic Arabia, prior to the revelation of the Quran to Muhammad. Before the Islamic conversion the Arab tribes were nomadic, with a strong community spirit and some specific society rules. Their culture was patriarchal, with rudimentary religious beliefs. Although there were some traces of monotheism in the "hanifs" figures, their religious beliefs were based mostly on idol adorations and social congregations once a year around the Kaaba for trading and exchanges. Jahiliyya was an age of Arab nomads, of pagan worship and of archaic traditions. This was the age of idolatry."

Atm, I'm fleshing out the map. Here's a picture of the work in progress. The water looks really ugly, and the land seems a bit blocky around the edges. I'm trying to figure out how I can fix that.
