Arab units are in almost all of the European Total War Games, but they are not the main focus. They are playable, but not the star players.
A related question: Are there any well-known game developers who are devout Muslims? I have heard of Christians and Jews in the video gaming industry, but no Muslims. What kind of game would a devout Muslim make?
Bomberman

The crusades were succesful for the most part and if it weren't for them, Europe would be Muslim now.
The main goal was to free the holy land and they failed at that. The crusades were a failure.
what holy land
It didn't take a crusade to end the Roman Empire, all empires have a limited lifespan until they collapse under their own weight.

The Crusades didn't fulfill their goals of driving the muslims out of the holy land and stopping the Turkish advance on the ERE. They weren't important for their military gains, but rather cultural exchange and such. No, the country which saved Europe was Poland.
>The allies were now ready for the last blow. At around 6:00 pm the Polish king ordered the cavalry attack in four groups, three Polish and one from the Holy Roman Empire. Eighteen thousand horsemen charged down the hills, one of the largest cavalry charges in history after some ancient charges.[23]:152 Jan III Sobieski led the charge[16]:661 at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars". The Lipka Tatars who fought on the Polish side wore a sprig of straw in their helmets to distinguish themselves from the Tatars fighting on the Ottoman side. The charge easily broke the lines of the Ottomans, who were exhausted and demoralized and soon started to flee the battlefield. The cavalry headed straight for the Ottoman camps and Kara Mustafa's headquarters, while the remaining Viennese garrison sallied out of its defenses to join in the assault.

Because it's still going on today, user. Just ask West Europe!
The real question is why there's no Atec Triple Alliance total war
Isn't that one of the campaigns in METW2 Kingdoms?
It would be triggering, because it would remind people of the slaves, inbreeding, and hostile nature of islam
I want a whole game though
Any sane developer won't touch Islamic shit for fear of being bombed by outraged muds.

Islam is a satanic pagan moon cult.
Glad I left it and found Jesus.
If you want to play it I hear isis is recruiting xd
This is as close as we'll get until ubisoft finally gets around to making an aztec asscreed:
I feel like being bombed by pol is more likely
The crusaders weren't christian, they were in fact cabalistic pagans. Stay bluepilled christfag.

Because the aztecs were actually pretty advanced. They had cities rivaling what was in europe at the time (Their capital was on par with Bejing, Cairo, and Constantinople as of 1519, for example), a criminal justice system pretty similar to the roman's, compulsorily public education for everybody, bathed twice a day and had a plenty of access to clean water via a system of aqueducts, etc; the only real areas they were behind was
A: Didn't have work animals (horses, oxen, etc),
B: Didn't really use metal for anything beyond jewelry and idols and such
C: Governmentally were more of a collection of allied and subjugated city states (think ancient greece) rather then a nation or a monarchy. This was true for most of the mesoamericas
Anyways, to specifically answer your question: The clothing/armor in the image would have been made of cotton, leather, and/or animal hides, higher ranking soldiers would have the whole thing covered in feathers on top of that and would have worn wooden helmets. Under that one piece suit, there were cotton pieces that were soaked in mineral rich water so it would crystallize, making it tougher and resilient to cuts or being pierced by arrows and acted as armor.
The shields were made variously of wood, leather, maize cane/shoots, and cotton fibers, depending on the exact type.
They had no medicine, no sciences besides star watching and their calendar and where outright rapist murderous savages man.
That's not advanced at all.
Reminds me of WoW for a reason.
Those faggots had shit taste and no style.
that's really cool
That wouldn't make sense when they had cities, which are prime spots for a plague to happen. Probably not advance to how Europe had it, but something had to be going on to keep them going.
The jungles are a fucked place that'll turn anyone mad.
They held Jerusalem and much of the Levant for 200 years

Not any less then Europe at the time. Both mainly used herbs that they knew to be effective and supernatural/traditional remedies.
However, again, if you count soap as a medicine, the Aztecs had and used soap and bathed multiple times a day, whereas in Europe, you bathed maybe twice a year, even for royalty. On that note, if you count clean water, london was getting it's water from the river thames at the time, which was completely unclean, in contrast to the aztecs which had a system of aquaducts to transport fresh water from various areas of the series of lakes they lived on, which was clean, pic related
Again, blatantly untrue, mathematically the aztecs were on par with europe in most ways, and had higher math (they worked with zero as a an actual number and conceptually rather then an absence of a number, which is more important then you think) they did, however, lack trigonometry.
Second pic related is a land survey in Texcoco (one of the main 3 city states that composed the head of the empire) showing their use of area and perimeter and a high degree of plotting detail and accuracty
Hue, not even gonna respond to this because you literally have no idea what you are talking about and are just repeating shit you hear in media.
U BE SAYIN
WE WUZ KANGS AND SHIIEET
The Ottomans weren't even the biggest threat to Europe - before that the Mongols might have steamrolled them if the Khans hadn't returned to elect a new leader after the death of their leader Ogedai. There were other factors, but Europe in part was saved due to a fortunate political crisis since they didn't stand much of a chance against the larger force of the Golden Hoard
They didn't even have a written language and ate people's heart for sports.
Even Zulus were more "advanced"
Actually you know what I will respond to the last thing since inevitably people are going to yell at me that I didn't respond because it was true.
The Aztecs obviously did preform human sacrifice, pretty much the whole region did to some degree, but the aztecs in particular did it more due to a variety of reasons I can clarify on if people want me to. The tl;dr though on why sacrifice was so important is that the Aztecs thought that blood is what powered the cosmos, and if they didn't give the gods enough blood, the universe would literally sputter out of power, sorta like entropy, and blood was what kept the flow going.
The exact amount of sacrificing though is exaggerated compared what it is in pop culture, and how it went down is pretty different too. For example, Aztecs didn't sacrifice kids or virgins, they sacrificed prisoners of war, generally. Most of the ritusals involving human sacrifice involved the sacrifice acting as an avatar for a god, and as such, any sacrifices would have been extremely well kept and fed, had the freedom to roam around the city and in fact had a whole fucking entoruage of dancers and priests following them, and so on. They essentially lived as royalty up untill they were actually killed, and then evern their remains were well kept.
Two rituals to look up yourself is Xipe Totec's festival (Tlacaxipehualiztli) and The Toxcatl festival.
As far as raping, that wouldn't have happened at all since aztec warefare was highly ritualized and was set up in advance by both belligerents. There would have been no women around to rape, look up the flower wars.
Obviously, though, raping and pillaging was something that would have gone on in europe. Europe also executed a fuck ton of people (london alone executed about the same amount of people as the entire aztec empire per captia) in gorey, savage public executions with heads on pikes and all the same shit that happened in the more gruesome aztec sacrifices, and europe had the same purely religiously motivated killings that mesoamerica did with people being burned at the stake for having the wrong version of Christianity.
t;dr: Were the Aztecs sick fucks? yeah, but not really any more then any other culture of the world was at the time.
I'm happy to provide sources on most of what i'm saying here,
and in , though some of it is just shit I know off hand and won't have sources for, but most of it I should be able to give you a source for
Come on now, those niggers didn't even understand what a zero is, their use of "0" was just a placeholder in the numeral system.
Actually that's objectively wrong, they were pretty morally sick and primitive for their time.
Perhaps not compared to Europe 1000 years before they had their first contact, but they were pretty ass backwards and far behind in terms of culture and civilization.
They did achieve pope Urban IV's main goal though, focusing European warfare on the infidels rather than their own brothers of faith for a while.
The crusades were largely brought on by a wish from the pope for Christians to stop fighting between themselves for political reasons and strengthen the church as a whole, and since the Muslim dynasty in control of the holy land were particularly abusive of christian pilgrims they were a perfect target.
Even if they didn't hold onto the holy land in the end, the church came out of it stronger than before. Then the 1300-1400 happened and the church was weakened again anyway
The post you are responding to literally has a land survey with notations of area and perimeter with numerical characters on it.
Read what i'm writing or go off and shitpost elsewhere.
Nope, that was my exact point I was stressing, it wasn't just a placeholder. I'll get you a source on the fact though in a sec.
Except my example with london and public exceutions was actually the same century the Spanish conquest took place:
Refer to:
Sadly, the last sentence that compares the amount of executions in london to the aztec sacrifices per captia got cut off, but the full sentence is
"At the time, its population was about three million, perhaps a tenth that of the Mexica empire. Arithmetic suggests that if England had been the size of the Triple Alliance, it would have executed, on average, about 7,500 people per year, roughly twice the number Cortés estimated for the empire. France and Spain were still more bloodthirsty than England"
I wonder what the world would look today had the Mongol Empire survived on it's peak for 300-500~ years atleast or perhaps even to this day.
Oh well… atleast i got some superior Finngolian genes goin' on.
I'll guess 3/4 White, with a South American Indian ancestor on your father's side.
Native indian IQ is under 85, explains a lot really.
Nope, 100% white, american. Family moved here from eastern europe during ww1.
I just watched The Road to El Dorado (which actually mixed a bunch of mesoamerican cultures together into one thing) when I was 10 and was fascinated by the architecture and such so I decided I wanted to study the aztecs or mayans, eventually decided the aztecs were cooler (the mayans never unified, and Tenochtitlan is way more interesting then Palenque or Tikal), and I did.
I'll buy that, I suppose. Polite sage for OT.
Thats fucking retarded
Because arabs has always been shit at warfare.
Mesoamerican folklore and mythology is weird. I don't care about Holla Forums chimpouts; I think a game based on that would be cool.
A game based on the conquest by Spaniards would also be cool, but I have a bias for that time period
Using hieroglyphs is the precursor to a proper written language.
It's funny how now they want to bring us back to that with common core.
Check out Expeditions Conquistador, It's a tactical RPG with rougelite/choose your own adventure elements.
This, the game is also entirely free of SJW faggotry, you can play even play as a godly templar of taco removal and hold back no punches.
That actually looks pretty sweet. Thanks, I'll check it out.
Well, I wouldn't say that entirely. There are some female conquistadors you can have on your team, but aside from that the game tends to handle things pretty grounded in reality.
Many of the conquistadors outright have biases against woman and the natives, or want some of that hot native ass themselves. So that being said the inclusion of the female conquistadors as a result comes off to me as a genuine attempt to just add variety rather just for social justice brownie points, which nowadays is hard to remember is possible.
No problem. you can also choose to ally with the aztecs/mexica if you want as well instead. It has a lot of replay value.
No, of his relatives and living things in general, the idea is they're afraid you might start worshipping them.
Well the last post was really well thought out and listed plenty of reasons to support his argument. If this guy is claiming he is "objectively" wrong, I can't wait to read all the reasons why.
Oh, he just repeated what was implied in his statement before.
...
The females felt like real characters, with their own flaws and issues.
Your team would also brawl it out with conflicting members, it certainly wasn't SJW at all in my point of view.
It just wasn't historically accurate, it even include magical sacrifices and all sort of RPG shenanigans just for the sake of fun.
Play Civilization sometime, sit there living in the stone age and cry about how unfair it is when the PC fucks your shit up with gunpowder and proper armor.
Then claim that you were just as advanced as him and that it was just white privilege that let him win.
Nobody's talking about "white privilege", mate.
Do you think historiography's degenerate, or something? There is literally nothing wrong with showing interest in foreign cultures.
Tell that to the weeaboos or to the local aztecboo in this thread.
This line of reasoning is so absurd.
If they were equal, why wasn't the war a stalemate? Or is "white privilege" just SJW speak for some innate magical prowess?
Let's make the history lesson short: sandniggers in Andalusia had a falling out with sandniggers in Damascus. That's what saved Europe. If sandniggers had kept themselves together they could have used the full power of their empire against Christfags in Europe.
There is no such as Islam: that's just sandnigger propaganda. There are HUNDREDS of different Islamic sects. And they all hate each other.
Islam was what unified them temporally though.
Same with Christians really, there were a lot of kingdoms who had a fall out or outright rejected the Catholics and it took the muslim invasion to finally get them to fight side by side.
yeah, sure, whatever you say, buddy
I won't contest that there are a multitude of Islamic sects, but I've never been able to find a meaningful distinction between them. As far as I can tell, with my admittedly limited knowledge of their faith, the disputes appear largely political in nature.

Here is a crazy idea. Maybe instead of crying out "white privilege" and showing off that you only learn history from video games, you make a well reasoned argument. Maybe than people would take you seriously.
What do you think of archeology, user?
well twmed2 expansion but also tw empire expansion war of the Americas or something. I have a game where I am kicking the white brother's ass. Tribesmen, tribesmen everywhere. waaaagh.
Well good thing that actually happened in real life.
Perfectly fine, I'm not against learning about other cultures user, I'm against willfully blinding yourself and making out a country that was stuck in the stone age to be some sort of magical mystical magicians who could do no wrong and somehow it was all whitey's fault like some faggots are prone to doing.
Nobody's talking about magic and "evil whitey" except for you, user.
There are no Marxists in this thread. Calm down.
Fantastic. I'm willing to believe you. Just actually make a fucking argument and support it instead of just stating it and whining when people don't swallow all the shit you spew. Otherwise, the guy who puts more thought in his post is the one I am going to assume is right.
It's hyperbole, no worries m8.
It's strawmanning.
I literally said in my post that the Aztecs didn't use metal for utilitarian purposes and didn't have gunpowder, though, I just said outside of that, the lack of horses/oxen/work animals, and the type of government, they were roughly on par, which is true. I'm seriously willing to provide sources to back up everything I've said.
I did for the relative brutality of english executions and the comparative amount of them per capita vs aztec sacrifices, after all.
Speaking of, regarding the zero stuff from and and , I was wrong; I was thinking of the Mayans, not the aztecs.
70% of why the aztecs lost was due to smallpox and Cortes strategically exploiting a few of the neighboring nations that hated the aztecs against them.
After Cortes held Montezuma II hostage and he got killed by stones and all hell broke loose in Tenochtitlan, the Spanish were forced to flee back to Tlaxcalan territory, where he then rallied the tlaxcalans, forming an army of about 200,000 of them and marched back toward tenochtitlan. By the time they got back, about a year later, the aztecs were pretty much decimated by smallpox and famine. Nonetheless, they put up a last ditch resistance, and in the ensuing battles most of tenochitlan was leveled.
The lakes surronding it gradually dried up over the next centuary or so, and it was drained to make room for expand settlements in the 1700's. On a tangent, this is why the axolotl' salamanders are extinct in the wild, because basically all of their habitat got fucked.
Also, i'm the same person who brought up expeditions conquistador to begin with and said . I hate hypocritical "social justice" faggotry and historical revisionism just to make minorities feel good just as much as you. It's the reason places like Teotihuacan aren't getting dug up more because the fucking Mexican goverment is too scared that people will find out the culture who built it weren't actually native to mexico and it will lessen their national pride or tourism industry.
Am I going to need to post my folder of SJW's acting like retarded cultists just to prove it to you?
Nobody is talking about white privlege beyond him
Well I can't argue against that.
I'm baffled.
To be fair, killing someone for being too close to gypsies does seem rather steep but having lived close to gypsies and 2 missing bikes later I can't really oppose it.
Nobody's making excuses, user.
What's your problem?
f5f733 is.
What is your problem with him?
Also, I am actually UNDERSELLING the aztecs in regards to metals: They did use bronze axes and maces occasionally, but it wasn't very common, so it's easier to just say they didn't have metal tools or weapons.
I was also up front with the fact that they didn't have trigonometry. I'm not gonna fucking inflate their accomplishments, because what makes them so damn interesting is how they were concurrently lacking in some areas but on par or better then Europe in others.
They defy the conventions of societal and technological progress and I find that cool, because I fucking like history, not because I have my head up my ass as with people like pic related.
And he compared it to how Queen Mary I burned or exiles hundreds of protestants during the 1550s, or how witch hunting in England reached its height during the mid 17th century.
And to counteract these claims you did… ?
He has to go back.
Heh, furries.
Because comparing one psychopath is the same as a civilization of cannibals is entirely the same.
You do actually read into Trump's policies, right?
If you read the link you'll note they also paraded corpses around the city and stuck heads on pikes as crowds of onlookers cheered for blood, so no, it wasn't just "hanging criminals".
You are simplifying the executions just as much as I would be if I were claiming the aztecs "executed war criminals" which would be misleading as fuck.
Also, again, the aztecs treated their sacrificee's well. Prisoners in london in 1519 certainly weren't well fed and venerated.
And as you say, it's not like everybody getting executed deserved it, either.
Anyways, i'm going to actually play vidya since having to repeat myself 20 times and having to fight accusations of being a SJW isn't fun.
Before you go, could you recommend a few books on the subject?
The only one I have in my possession is 1491 by Charles C Mann (2nd ed)
At this point I just think you are a Holla Forums false flag and I'm not going to try debating someone who is pretending to be retarded.
Do have fun.
Criminals being punished just isn't the same as ritualistic sacrifices though. That's a massive fallacy.
Neither is comparing Bloody Mary to a whole fucking culture, that's just grasping for straws, it would be like excusing the massive cases of pedophilia and rape in the muslim world to what Joseph Fritzl did.
True but Islam only unified them for about 150 years. By the time they reached France they were already failing.
In America there is. God forbid you can read subtitles.
If you were a real Trump supporter, and a Holla Forumslack, above that, you'd be smug. Not passive-aggressive.
Something tells me you're not as you seem to call yourself.
It was pretty much the same case with the mongols, a really extraordinary leader manages to gather all the warring tribes and become a unstopable war machine only for them to die and have all their job undone in a couple of years by greedy people wanting to each take a share of the cake.
You're projecting there, I'm just honestly wishing him to have fun with vidya, that's all.

Khergits are shit user, swadian knights and rhodok sharpshooters is where it's at.
The hit and run mounted archer tactics were absolutely brutal in real life though.
Was there an effective counter in real life? I would guess pavise crossbowmen.
That, combined with them being competent at sieges. Something that M&B fails to replicate.

That worked, the russians though used heavy horse archers.
You're a plant trying to divide and conquer, by causing general chaos.
You're never gonna get paid your fifteen cents, with strategy like that. Awful!
It was all part of my master plan all along
...
...
I decided to stop back in.
I actually really can't, I just sorta learned my shit through osmosis, if that makes sense, and i've read bits and pieces of a lot of things without really keeping track; That said, a friend of mine who knows his shit better then I do has shilled me reddit's askhistorian's subreddit a couple of times and from what I can tell, they actually are a good source of info since they ban anybody who posts who doesn't back their shit up with sources or doesn't give super detailed replies; and I know for a fact that many of their regular contributors for mesoamerican shit are actual historians and archaeologists who have done research and field work.
They have a book recommendations list, so i'd consult that, with a grain of salt since it's still plebbit; but
Obviously though "The True History of the Conquest of New Spain" is a must read since it's the most comprehensive first hand account of the conquest, though parts of it are generally regarded to be inaccurate due to obvious biases and lack of context on the part of the author; other historians think the whole book is a farce and the author wasn't even there but as of now I don't think that's agreed on by many people.
I'll admit I actually don't know much about european history, but my understanding was religiously motivated killings in Europe and mass executions happened pretty regularly throughout the middle ages till the like, the very late age of exploration when you still had conflicts between sects of Christianity and accusations of witchcraft and so on.
I really don't think there's much of a distinction between that and what the Aztecs did, Both were murder committed under a religious pretext; and based on the source I provided, both the executions and sacrifices all of that was about equally brutal and savage The aztecs killed more people reguairlly then any specific country in Europe, surely, but not per captia, and as has been mentioned, at least with the aztecs it was semi voluntary and they were well treated, and the aztecs did it because they literally thought the universe depended on it vs just "You worship jesus the wrong way".
Maybe you know more then me, though, so if i'm wrong about any of that european stuff, i'm happy to be corrected.
Isn't that what happened with Alexander the Great as well?
It's too late to use that excuse.
That truly was passive aggressive sarcasm, your sarcasm detector might be broken since you got it wrong twice in a row.

Because SJW's are fucking idiots and are making people reactionary in response, which ironically does the opposite of what they want…
Or maybe it's exactly what they want, so they have more ammo to play the victim with
Good goy
Someone should make a list of all the wars caused by someone not being able to keep his dick down, it's most likely not as up there as the number caused by territorial claims and religion but it sure is common enough to be both sad and funny at once.

underrated post
Is this myth the ancient version of a porno?
fucking godlike music in that game as well
That's a wrong way to spell Croatia.
Aztecs as an empire weren't actually ancient.
tl;dr (and I wanty to stress that tl;dr, i'm leaving out a fucking shit ton of stuff here) Tenochtitlan was founded by the Mexica in 1325. It allied with 2 other city states, Texoco and Tlacopan in 1428 after they aided each other in a war of succession that surrounded the whole area after the to form the Triple Alliance, which then subjugated other city states, tribes, and kingdoms to form the Aztec Empire
So yeah, not ancient.
Now, if the Mexica people themselves or the other ethnic groups that composed the other city states and subjugated areas or the area prior to the technical formation of the aztec triple alliance were ancient and how that all worked anthropologically, I do not know, that's above my level of knowledge
Gonna clarify on this because I worded it like shit.
A war of succession broke out. Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan all sided with each other, and won. As a result, those 3 city states formed the Triple alliance, and then having the other city states they won over, proceeded to take over more city states and territory and subjugating them, which is what we now call the Aztec Empire.
I've called Tenochtitlan the Aztec capital in prior posts, and to detail why i say that, it's because in practice, Tenochtitlan had the most power of the 3 city states and was calling all of the shots, even if on paper it and Texcoco were supposed to be on even ground (Tlacopan was that weird kid you hung out with but didn't really like and AFAIK was explicitly below both, only getting half as much tribute as Tenochtitlan and Texcoco)
Kek
All I did was make a topic thinking the rise of Islam is a relatively untouched topic and would be fun to play though, and the reactionaries are massively triggered. TBH the polacks are worse than SJWs at this point, they just have less power.
