Features

All new

Travel anywhere from the Middle East to India in search of becoming the greatest ruler and general the world has to offer. Books of great knowledge were written throughout these parts, and can now be acquired as ancillaries. People of certain regions were better at certain activities; have them follow you and aid you in governance and warfare. Perhaps your men take to the exotic lands where they have traveled, and become very much like their foreign counterparts due to all the Vices and Virtues available?

The mod includes many new traits as well as ancillaries for each new culture and religion to further immerse the player into the world at war.

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.

New Religions

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. In addition, Broken Crescent will feature the Kypchaks as a fully playable Pagan 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.

Hundreds of New Units

Broken Crescent will feature hundreds of completely new units made from the ground up by the skinners AlphaDelta and Strelac. The differences and variety of looks within a unit are seen far more, rather than minor differences, and each faction is balanced and unique with their own strengths.
