'''Broken Crescent''' is the first Total Conversion modification for Medieval 2: Total War, focusing on the Middle-East and its warfare between they years AD 1174-1400.  Unfortunately its release date was pushed back from the 28th of September to allow two brand new factions, Imamat of Oman, and the Malikate of Sindh and Strelac's Byzantine units replace the purple horrors that where the vanilla Byzantines. Strelac also made a brand new formation for Byzantine pikes. It was released officially on the 13th of January at the Total War Centre forums.

Area of Recruitment

Broken Crescent features an Area of Recruitment system. Each faction is assigned its own unique "home regions" in which it is able to recruit units from its factional roster. In the regions it conquers, it is only able to recruit local units and other special variations. More detailed information on the AOR system can be found in this post.

Religion

The modification features the Christian and Muslim religions, which predominate in the modification's campaign. In addition, there are also newly added Hindu and Pagan factions, each with their own new temples unlike the Christian and Islamic churches and mosques. Since religion is important in this time period, the kingdom of Jerusalem can call crusades to aid them if cities like Acre, Jaffa and Jerusalem itself are taken. The Islamic civilizations can call jihads on other factions to reclaim taken lands. They can also train special units only available during a jihad.

Titles System

Broken Crescent features a system of "Titles" which brings an additional level of immersion and realism into the gameplay. Certain titles are based on the ownership of regions, while others can only be attained by killing the present holder of that title. The Abbasids, for example, begin the game with their faction leader assigned the title of Caliph; this title is hereditary; but if another faction leader defeats the Caliph in battle, he will gain the title.

New Units

Broken Crescent features hundreds (250+) of completely new units made from Scratch by the skinners AlphaDelta and Strelac. The differences and variety of looks within a unit are seen far more, rather than minor differences, and the faction is balanced and unique with each having its own set of strengths and weaknesses.
