Hi embryodead! How can I add 11 (or 7 if I don't expand the map further) civs to SoI?
They are
Saffarids - spawn at Zaranj in 861
Kara Koyunlu - spawn at Tabriz in 1375
Jalayrids - spawn in Hamadan in 1335 (dependent on unstable or collapsed Ilkhanate, and unstable or collapsed Abbasids
Muzzafarids - spawn in Esfahan in 1314
Kartids - spawn in Herat in 1244
Shirvanshah - spawn in Qazvin in 799
Axum/Ethiopia* - spawn in Axum at start (750)
Serbia* - spawn in Stari Ras in 1101
Bulgaria* - spawn in Pliska at start (750)
Crimean Khanate* - spawn in Bakhchiseray in 1441
Ilkhanate - spawn in Maragha in 1256
*-only if I expand the map North and South

It'll be available in late August / early September. You can actually get the beta version from here, by choosing "download GNU tarball". You'd have to unpack it and install manually though, or wait for the proper version with installer.
