Broken Crescent

Overview
Broken Crescent is a game modification for Medieval II: Total War that focuses on the Middle East starting from Saladin in 1174 and concluding in 1408. The mod features an entirely new campaign map spanning from Anatolia to India, and allows you to take control of 9 new Muslim factions, 5 new Christian factions and many others. It also boasts a (partly) new soundtrack specially composed for the mod. While it features much more realism unit-wise than the original Medieval 2, the mod does not aim for perfect historical accuracy. As of April 2008, it is at version 1.05, with an anticipated update with no date set. It is currently one of the most complete and best modifications available for Medieval 2: Total War, however many other mods exist and can be found hosted on several modding forums.
