Recommended Posts

PROLOGUE

In the year 1194, after the assasination of the caliph Abu Yusuf by a conspiration against the throne, a council of many generals and governors, was created to "manage" the caliphate, creating a democratic-style government until the new caliph appears.

But that only was a lie to the people.

They started to use the money of the arc's and practically ransack all the money and goods.

That started an very deep economic crisis around the kingdom.

In 1197, the hunger and the poverty, killed dozens of thousands of people, while the high-class of the kingdom started to migrate to other lands with the stealed money.

But then, in 1198, an new hope for the kingdom, appeared.

That was, Avibi Hammud III

In 1198, Avibi Hammud, an experimented and charismatic official of the militia, consumed by the hate and the sadness of see his nation and homeland destroyed by the hunger and the death, attacked with an group of 200 soldiers and a big number of militians the city of Rabat, entering in the inner city without opposition and taking the palace of the city, proclaiming himself as the caliph of Almohad Empire.

After that action, few weeks later, the governors and generals, were taking it as a joke, and when they were ready to launch an army of 1,300 soldiers to Rabat, inmediately, cities and provinces of all the empire, sent letters swearing loyalty to the new caliph.

After know this, the council retreated inmediatelly to Seville, where they tried to create an army, but only some mercenaries and militias decided to join them.

Chapter 2: The Civil War (part 2)

After some internal troubles with different governors and the distribution of the food, Avibi decided to march with an army of 1,800 soldiers against the nation of Djerid, to execute the main governors and generals who escaped from Seville.

But, the general who supported Avibi from the start of his fight against the government, Mahommed Tasi-Abali, suggested to use the dialogue and negotiate with the king of Djerid.

But this, was a complete failure, 'cause the King ordered the assasination of the diplomats and his 2 guards.

After that lame action, almost 2,000 soldiers, cavalry, and archers, attacked Djerid and killed the governors and generals and a big amount of soldiers loyals to the king. And, in march of 1202, Djerid fallen under the control of the army of the calipha.

    • Campaign: Small Scenarios
      In this topic, share your ideas for Campaign scenarios.

      These scenarios focus on a small part of the map, with the rest designated as wasteland.

       

      For example, a scenario of the Reconquista in 1054, where gameplay takes place only on the Iberian Peninsula.

      What are your ideas for small historical scenarios?

       


       
    • Events - Common events for every civilization in the game
      Hi,
      in this topic, I am interested in your ideas for events that can happen for every Civilization in the game.
      I'm also interested in Missions for every Civilization.

      Here is some example, have more than 10k army, have more than 5000 gold, build 10 buildings, recruit an Advisor, increase tax efficiency 20 times, be largest  producer of some resource in the world, unlock 5 Civilization legacies etc.

    • Land units - Ideas AoH3
      AoH3 will have different types of land units.

      In this topic we will write ideas for new land units. 

       

      So the AoH 3 will have new battle system.


      Representation of the battlefield in the game.


      Land units will be grouped into 3 types. Each unit will have a different recruitment cost, attack, defense, movement speed and upkeep.

      Groups determine the placement of units on the battlefield.


       

      Each unit can be unlocked by researching technology and then upgraded.

       

      Here is the current list of units with upgrades:

      First line:

      Warrior -> Light Footmen -> Heavy Infantry -> Infantry -> Line Infantry -> Modern Infantry

      Hoplites -> Spearmen -> Pikeman -> Elite Pikeman -> Musketeer -> Riflemen -> Mechanized Infantry -> Modern Mechanized Infantry

      First line side:

      Horseman -> Elite Horseman -> Cavalry -> Tank -> Modern Tank

      Second line:

      Archer -> Bowmen -> Crossbowman -> Elite Crossbowman

      Canon -> Field Cannon -> Artillery -> Modern Artillery

      Early Airplane -> Airplane -> Modern Airplane

       

      This is a very early version, so maybe something should be changed?

      Or maybe an idea for a new type of unit with upgrades? I'm waiting for your suggestions.
