Features
Area of Recruitment
Broken Crescent will feature a special Area of Recruitment system. Each faction will only have home regions, where it can recruit its units. In the regions it conquers, it will only be able to recruit local levies and special units. For example, the Hindu Rajput States will be able to recruit unique elephant units in India, but conquering factions will only be able to recruit ordinary elephant troops.
Hindu Religion
Having a part of India in the campaign, the modification will feature the Hindu religion. It will be the official religion of the unique Rajput States faction.
Titles
The mod will have all-new Titles which will bring the game alive. Certain titles will be based on ownership of regions, while others can only be attained by killing the present holder of that title.
- Caliph Title
The Abbasids will begin the game with their leader as the great Caliph. This title will be hereditary; but if another faction leader defeats the Caliph in battle, he will gain the glorious title.
The Campaign map
Broken Crescent features a brand new campaign map spanning from Anatolia and Egypt in the West, through Mesopotamia, Persia, and Afghanistan, all the way to India to the East.
