1) Sure, when do u need this by.
2) How bout next Friday/Saturday then.
For 1, I was thinking why don't you do it step by step. I will post changes chrologically one civ at a time, you can then approve or disapprove and make the necessary changes. So it will be in this order Arabs, Egyptians, Seljuks, Mongols, Ottoman and lastly the Safavids. So tomorrow I will post all the changes required for the Arabs and then you decide what you have to do. After ur done, you can upload an svn and we can start with the next civ. This is a lot better than me lumping everything in one post as u will not overwhelmed and will be thoroughly able to analyze what yo do and don't want in ur mod.
