Early age is meant the Pagan, animal,sky and star-worshipping Turkic tribes. So no Abysian influence here ( I meant Islam, but you understand)
Middle age is based on the 11th century Seljuks, only the warrior elites and the high ranks are assuredly Sunni Muslim, some regular and irregulars may be Pagan,Alevite or Shi'ite. Thus is the religious system in Empire is haphazard, and so, no sacred units.
Late Age is the Ottoman Empire in its heyday, 1500's, with Istanbul fresh taken and made capital (translated in game an absorbed Pythium empire) with the Janissaries more and more frequently usedthan standard Turkic units.
So no common Muslim trooper.
The Oriental cultures aren't as simple as it may seem from the Western side

Arabia may translate into Abysia or C'tis, or as a few summoned Turanic Djinni. Otherwise, the Turan history may be revised. Heck I think I getting a hang of this history... I think I'll go ahead and mod them.
w00t! Why yes, Russia is forgotten, damn! Though I believe it is impossible to put it on Early age. Early age Russia was full of Hunnic Khans, Barbarians and Vikings, and just empty,soo empty plains. A Kievan Rus empire may be a substitute though. Similar to Vanheim, minus the Vanir, plus Powerful old witches of death magic, and a few Half Giant Jarls. Maybe...
Middle and Late age would have human wave tactics, plus a few elite cavalry effective at pillaging and patrolling.See Age of Empires 3, I forgot the cavalry's name.
