Default Re: Brainstorm: EA/MA/LA Arabian/Islamic themed nation
About eras. I should probably clarify why I choose them as I did. While Crusades era is somewhat more widely heard about, coming of Seljuks changed many practices in the Middle East. This included greater dominance of mounted archers also. However, we already have at least 2 nations of mounted archers in Dominions (LA Tien Chi & Bogarus). So I think that it would be better to have nation not so one-trick - and 10th century provides many opportunities.
As for Mohammed's era - I don't think that we actually need another hoplite nation - and earliest Islamic armies were quite close...
