Really well done.
I love these timeline maps
I don’t know enough about the history of other places to be critical but there are some inaccuracies for the Maghreb and the Middle East, you seem to confuse the ethnic origin of the ruling dynasty and the ethnicity the ruling elite claim to be.
So while the Rustumid founder was Persian, the Rustumid was clearly a Berber kingdom, as the political and military apparatus were constituted of Berber tribes.
In the same manner, while many mamluks where originally Kiptchack (called Cumans in European sources and in the games), they clearly didn’t see themselves as Kiptchack.
I mean it is the Sarcen unique unit, not the Cuman one, that is call3d “Mameluks”.
Really well done.
I love these timeline maps
At 700, Madagascar seems to be occupied by the Malay (can’t see really well, low-key color blind).
What is going on there?
Mistake or quirky historical tidbit behind it?
Really well done.
I personally find the goths very funny, who just randomly show up in Crimea around 1200, even though their main state has been conquered centuries ago.
Why did you exclude Turks from the earlier maps tho?
And then the mongols conquered the universe
This was very interesting.
From page 7 to 12, you can see Tatars and Mongols starting off as little kids, then conquering the world together, and then retiring in their winter homes.
It was a long ride until we magyars came to our present day location.
That’s a great map, it’s impossible to take just one single map and fit all the different civs in one picture.
Tell me more about Persians of Algieria
