Default Re: Suggestion for a new nation

Thanks so much for all of these excellent replies.

I know the mish-mash I suggested is not reflecting any "real" historical nation, and it is a conglomeration from a bunch of things.

I did want an Astrologer type in there, and I wanted a Sage type in there too, to encompass the Ibn Rushd and Ibn Khaldoun types etc; I think they should get a capitol-only Sage-type and Astral-user.
Otherwise, Air and Fire: yes. You are right.
Fakir: love it.

As to the Courtesan: d'accord. (And of course I never pictured her being able to seduce undead, Minoutaurs, or whatnot; size 2 humans only. She would and should and must be inferior to the succubus in every way.)

I am kind of attached to the idea of a Dhervish, so would hate to part with that. Lots of summons, sure, but I do want to keep it balanced.
I wanted to have camel riders, but figured: just call them cavalry.
I also pictured a bunch of swarthy scimtar wielders, but maybe that is not so exciting.

Unfortunately, I know too little about modding to be able to do this on my own .... anyone have time to help me over the next few weeks/months?

Well thanks so much for your feedback

PS. Am currently reading "1001 Nights" (the original in an ancient but apparently quite accurate German translation) with my wife -- that itself is a mishmash of Arabic, Persian, and Byzantinian culture. It is great!
