The all encompassing thread for Mid Eastern military and military generals discussion for the medieval to Renaissance era.
Rules: Try to keep to mid Eastern generals. I accept crusader generals if they have a relation to the Mid East and gauge comparison between such generals (Richard of Lionheart vs Saladin).
Byzantium is accepted within reason. I would not like to see Byzantine discussion in terms of campaigns against the Rurikids or Bulgaria or in Italy. So, Heraclus and other Byzantine generals which waged wars against Mid Eastern generals are accepted.
Late Sassanid generals and military is fine by me, however, only those after Islam arose. So no discussion on Sassanid empire in the 250s.
Hindu generals or Indian ones, are good in their relation to Mid Easteen ones. So, the various rulers who fought Mahmoud Ghazni.
Central Asia stops at Sogdia or modern day China. So Mongol discussion is only in regards to when they make contact with the Mid East or in their case, the Kwarezmshahs.
Khazars, Pechengs, etc... is acceptable in their relation to the Mid East or Mid East invasions into.
Discussion of North Africa is an exception, as is Iberia, however it is more like the Byzantine situation.
Anyway, excited for the thread. Also, I am still working on my tl, In case you felt I had stopped it.
