Thanks man! Looking forward to it

Please tell me, is it possible to hope that Roman culture will receive what Byzantium has? For those who restore Western Rome :)
Bidet-Lover_69 May 15, 2023 @ 7:45am 
are there plans to add at pictures to each unit ? I really like the mod, though seeing vanilla unit card on a special card is a bit downsetting

Its closely to impossible to do cuz there is not enough illustration for everything, but I regularly updating MaA with new illustrations

What is the Finnic tribes light infantry, Kahaaja, based on? Everything else makes sense since it's a direct translation of the unit type, but we couldn't find anything about "Kahaaja"
Lovely mod btw.

Might I suggest changing the Arabic MaA names (Egyptian and Andalusian included) to a more standardized version? Its highly inspired by MK1212 and my sub-par Arabic, also I did try to give them a more varied description.

Andalusian:
- Al-Mughawir : Proud and tenacious warriors of the Maghreb . These are elite skirmishers armed with javelins and swords, and sometimes axes. Despite their light equipment, they have a fearsome reputation.
- Maghribi Rumat : The Berbers did not embrace ranged weapons as much as other Islamic peoples did, but they were able to use it with skill when the occasion required it.
- Hushud : Short-term levies drawn up for individual campaigns. Their long spears allow these regiments to form walls of spikes that can stop a cavalry charge dead.
- Murtaziqa al-Khayl : Recruited from the many Arabs settled across North Africa and the Middle East, these men make useful light cavalry, able to run down light infantry and to get round enemy flanks.
- Jund al-Musta'rab : Heavily armed and well-trained, the Musta'rab are Islamicized Visigothic denizens of Iberia. These troops are masters in close combat.
- Fursan Andalusi : The knights of the Andalusian Muslims. Their equipment and fighting style has been influenced by their Christian foes, emphasizing heavy armour and shock tactics more than the light cavalry tactics of their forebears.
- Jund al-Nasara : Christian knights found their services just as useful to Islamic rulers as certain Berber and Andalusian contingents found the same to be true about Christian kings.

Egyptian:
- Harafisha : Irregular skirmishers are invaluable harriers, disrupting enemy flanks and chipping away at morale.
- Rumat al-Ahdath : The Ahdath, a kind of urban militia that plays a considerable role in the cities of Syria and Upper Mesopotamia providing skirmishing support for the rulers that employs them.
- Askari : Mainly recruited from the Arabian tribes that migrated into Africa. An excellent light cavalry, mainly in flanking manouvers.
- Tawashiyya : A retinue of heavily armed minor nobles, these horsemen are the pinnacle of Arabic 'feudalism'.
- Mamalik al-Julban : These “Recruits” were the Mamluks who were bought and freed by the reigning Sultan. Although cavalry archers, these are no light skirmishers. Instead they operate in close formation to lay down a heavy barrage of fire. They have maces for use on anyone who gets too close!
- Mamalik al-Khayl : Bought as slaves usually from the hardy Turkish steppe peoples, they are trained from boyhood in the ways of the warrior. When their training is finished, they are freed and enrolled in the army. These men are equipped for close fighting with spears, maces and shields.
- Mamalik al-Khassakiyyah : The Khassakiyya Mamluk were the Sultan’s Elite Corps of Bodyguards and select retinue. Chosen from the crack Mamluk cavalry and given further training to make them the elite of the elite. With their spears, maces and tough armour, these are formidable shock troops.

- Thaqlah : Axe-bearing Royal Guards were a common symbol of a Sultan's power in the Middle East. The main role of the Thaqlah is to guard the Sultan and the palace. These well armoured, elite troops are formidable on the battlefield too.

Arabian:
- Mutatawwi'a al-Balad : Hardy Bedouin men, trained and roughened by the dessert. They serve as skirmishers and ambushers to softened the enemy before combat.
- Rumat al-Jund : Professional archers,trained and armed by the state. These men can be relied to loose their arrows accurately.
- Rammah al-Jund : Professional soldiers, trained and armed by the state. Holding the line is what they've been drilled to do.
- Jaridah : Lightly armed cavalry, they shine as scouters, messengers and flankers of the army. Devastatingly so.
- Khayl al-Khariji : Bedouin Kharijites are feared for their cavalry charge with their lances which could break any defensive line, and almost never lose when pitted against an equal number of opponents, though they are heavily disdained...
- Ghazi : Zealous Islamic warriors, answering the call of Jihad to defend or proselytize Islam to the ends of the Earth.
- Fursan : Heavily armed and armored following the Arabic chivalry code "Furusiyya", these horsemen dominate warfare in the open plains.
- Ghulaman : Elite soldiers taken as slaves, mostly from Turkish groups in the steppes at this time of history, purchased, raised as Muslims and trained for warfare, they are fearsome slave-soldiers whose loyalty only lies to their master.
- al-Turkman : Tribal Turkish nomads, accustomed to life in the saddle. These hardy bowmen have a fierce and unruly reputation, weakening the enemy by their bows before crushing them with a thunderous charge.

- Tabardariyya : Axe-bearing Royal Guards were a common symbol of a Sultan's power in the Middle East. The main role of the Tabardariyya is to guard the Sultan and the palace. These well armoured, elite troops are formidable on the battlefield too.
- Mahranit al-Jamal : Al-Mahra tribes are experts in camelry and famed for their high-class Mahri camel breed which are renowned for their speed, agility and toughness.

Caliphs:
- Abna al-Dawla : The Caliph's own personal army, named after the zealous supporter of the Abbasid Revolt. Heavily armed and well-trained, these troops are no mere ornaments in the battlefield.

(Shia, Andalusian, etc)
- Haras al-Khalifa : The personal bodyguards of the Caliphs. Haras members are expected to guard the Caliph even during private meetings, at night and during prayers at the mosque.
