Thanx, sector24. Yes, losing of assasins' sacred status in late era would probably be in order, though I also have few knowledge in history of these organizations. I'll probably find something out, though. (and Mongols should also probably get a MA faction of their own, but to correctly depict their army organization we would probably need additional commands...

To Aezeal: I'd probably start on this when my Bogarus splitting mod will be finished at last. For now, it requires finding out most balance issues, bribing some artistically inclined friends for graphics and - maybe - adding some few units. In any case, help in resolving balance issues will be appreciated. And if you really want to help, you may begin with reading Arabo-Persian folklore...
