Light In The East: Civs Of The Orient(And Beyond)

[Viregel]

Might as well make a request here - Ataturk's leaderscreen needs a face! Is there anyone who would be willing to, you know, put a face on Ataturk? I'll PM you the screen.

Also, music - no idea what to put in for Ataturk. Anyone have any ideas?

 

[RawSasquatch]

If nobody else wants to take it on, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Great civs ideas!
I always wanted Sri-Lanka and Laos, and the Safavids are also very good!
I saw in the civs' color schemes thread that you're working on Turkey with Greater Europe. Can you give information about them?

Could you link me to that thread?

Here is the symbol of turkey.
If you meant to something else, write it.

Is there any particular reason why the Safavid map shows Persia controlling the Trucial gulf? AFAIK she made attempts to control the region but it never really materialised. I'm not criticising, you could very well be correct, I've just never seen anything that would point to any form of Persian control there.

 

[Viregel]

I think I read somewhere that some Persian dynasty, at least, was able to establish control over there for a while.

The Sassanids did, but that hardly counts, and I think the Seljuks held Oman but never Ahsaa or Bahrain. Either way, its a Safavid civ, not a Persian one

 

[regalman]

The Safavids did for a while after expelling Portugal from Bahrain. The thing is "Bahrain" was the term used to refer to the Arabian side of the Gulf.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

Oh yeah, so they did, thanks! I clearly need to read a bit more about the history of my own country!

Courtesy of RawSasquatch, here's Mustafa Kemel's leaderscreen in all its glory:

Spoiler :

Needless to say, Turkey should be out fairly soon.

 

[Danmacsch]

Wow - hats off to RawSasquatch. Really great Looking forward to the release.

 

[regalman]

here is something different:

Let's see who can get it, and no, there will be no promises yet.

warning: can also be a joke, but still please guess!

 

[Gurra09]

Looks like an Arabic/Islamic civ but I'm not sure which one...

 

[SargontheGreat2]

Please be Yemen!

 

[regalman]

phew, at least it looks Arabic

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

Please be Yemen!

Oh yes, that'd be goood. Can't think of many others it could be if we're talking Arabic civs though... Sharifate of Mecca is hardly the most exciting, Oman has been done, could be Bahrain though.
EDIT: A joke you say? pls Lawrence of Arabia civ

 

[SuperWaffle247]

pls Lawrence of Arabia civ

wait this would be really interesting though

 

[regalman]

It's not from history...

 

[RawSasquatch]

Looks sort of Beyond Earth-y.

 

[TPangolin]

That's because it is beyond earthy. Colours need to be changed to avoid an overlap with Brasilia and Polystralia though
