Discuss The Tatars - A Central Asian Civ

I really enjoyed this mod. It looks a lot like the civilization I and others had collaborated on in a proposal a few years ago. I’m really happy to see it come alive.

Absolutely love the mod! Hopefully, we someday get to use them as a civ to play against <3

Thank you! Getting a functional AI is definitely on the to-do list - I have no idea how complicated it is, but it’ll happen eventually.

Maybe get in touch with the team of Age of the World about that?
I’m currently using the mod together with the “add Prussia” mod, that makes the Germans split into a Austrian and a Prussian civ - it fits soooooooo great to play against the Austrians and to replay the turkish wars <3

Another thing - if you ever think about modding another civ, a Barbary-Pirates-Civ would match great for this period! So you could fight against the Ottomans, the Tatars and the Barbary States in an all out Ottoman-Habsburg war! 
But first of all, complete those magnificent Tatars if you need anything regarding history, just get in touch - I’ve got a whole book in pdf-form about the Tatar raids and their military worth to the ottomans!
I’m really glad you’re enjoying it so much! There is another update coming soon with new textures for the entire Barracks and Stable roster - I’m honestly very pleased with how it all looks - as well as new cards, improved wonders, all that good stuff. I think I’ll be on the Tatars for a while yet.
A Moroccan-Barbary Coast civ would be interesting, and I have been thinking about a new project for a while now. Also in Africa, I was thinking about a Kongolese civ, and I would eventually like to overhaul the British to bring them into the War of the Three Kingdoms/Civil War era.

Uuuuh, can’t wait for that update! However, if you’re thinking about adding a Barbary-States-Civ, I personally would not coombine it with the Moroccans - although they were historically intertwined, the moroccans were much more independent as the Barbary-States, which in the timeframe of the game were already vassalized by the ottomans to some degree (at least the highest admiral, which more or less controlled the whole fleet of the barbary coast was directly instigated by the Sublime Porte, e.g. the Ottoman sultan).
However, regarding it as an african civ, it would be fun to enable it to choose allies like the Moroccans, the Spanish, the Ottomans, the Hausa, the Berbers or even the Italians and the Maltese. However you want to treat that Civ, I’m sure you’ll find a great way to make them unique, if you ever want to do so :-).
There is an already excellent Moroccan mod.
I basically just stumbled upon it 1 hour ago and am currently playing it - it’s a great mixture between Moroccans proper and the Barbary Pirates! If you now tend to even know a mod that would change the flag of this Moroccan civ to a barbary pirates flag, I would quite possibly cry a janissaries tear of joy no, srsly, if there’s a mod for that also, I’d be more than happy to subscribe to that!!!
Yes, in fact, you have the Campaign Civs mod, which adds all the campaign civs to multiplayer…
Just played the mod after the update - looks and feels great! Thx again!
One request, if that would be possible - could you add a home city card to the ottomans that lets them use their cav archers in the second age? And call it Tatar allies? It would fit them very well I believe
BTW - I’m a little bit disappointed that you did not give them yet a home city card that is to connected to throat singing!
