Stainless Steel 6.3: The Kingdom of Jerusalem vs Fatimids (Tough Battle)
Here on Stainless Steel, i decided to make a tough battle between the best units from the Kingdom of Jerusalem vs the best units from the Fatimids. All units from both sides are max skilled in Experience & Fighting but since i wanted it to resemble a battle of the Crusades, i didn't want my knights in plate armor, so i made all my KoJ units on level 1 in Armor & level 2 Armor for the Fatimids. The Muslims outnumbered mine by some 600 men & were slightly more armored but i had the Holy Cross Standard & the Canons of the Holy Sepulcher in which both helped to balance the fight. My Hospitallers on the left wing of my frontline were being battered down & my whole left flank was weakening untill i sent 2 units to support them, but to the contrary, my right wing & center hacked their way through & although my Cavalry Knights took many casualties they still managed to slaughter their heavy cavalry & got them to their infantry attack from behind. This is the reason why i like to battle with both armies max skilled or nearly max skilled, cos the majority of the men from both sides will stay & fight till they win or die rather than retreat, in fact only a very few retreated when most of their army was wiped out.

11 The Fatimid Dynasty in Egypt & the return of Europe
www.youtube.com Historian Basil Davidson looks at the splendour of Old Cairo under the Shia Fatimid dynasty. He details how the return of Europe to prominance following its long period of backwardness and slumber (aka the Dark Ages) was founded upon the economic stability of Afria - as seen in the fact that European gold coins were mindted in African gold. We also see how Euroepan Renaissance art depicted Africans as dignified equals, much as the ancient Greeks had. www.lincoln.edu

Fatimids Glory of Shi'a Arab
The Fatimid Caliphate or al-Fātimiyyūn (Arabic الفاطميون) was an Arab Shi'a dynasty that ruled over varying areas of the Maghreb, Egypt, Sicily and the Levant from 5 January 909 to 1171. It was the fourth and final Arab caliphate. The caliphate was ruled by the Fatimids, who established the Egyptian city of Cairo as their capital. The term Fatimite is sometimes used to refer to the citizens of this caliphate. The ruling elite of the state belonged to the Ismaili branch of Shi'ism. The leaders of the dynasty were also Shia Ismaili Imams, hence, they had a religious significance to Ismaili Muslims. They are also part of the chain of holders of the office of Caliph, as recognized by most Muslims, the only period in which the Shia Imamate and the Caliphate were united to any degree, excepting the Caliphate of Ali himself. With exceptions, the Fatimids were reputed to exercise a degree of religious tolerance towards non-Shi'a sects of Islam as well as towards Jews, Maltese Christians and Coptic Christians.

Fatimid Art & Architecture
Fatimid architecture In architecture, the Fatimids followed Tulunid techniques and used similar materials, but also developed those of their own. In Cairo, their first congregational mosque was al-Azhar mosque ("the splendid") founded along with the city (969973), which, together with its adjacent institution of higher learning (al-Azhar University), became the spiritual center for Ismaili Shia. The Mosque of al-Hakim (r. 9961013), an important example of Fatimid architecture and architectural decoration, played a critical role in Fatimid ceremonial and procession, which emphasized the religious and political role of the Fatimid caliph. Besides elaborate funerary monuments, other surviving Fatimid structures include the Mosque of al-Aqmar (1125) as well as the monumental gates for Cairo's city walls commissioned by the powerful Fatimid emir and vizier Badr al-Jamali (r. 10731094). Al-Hakim Mosque (990-1012) was renovated by Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (head of Dawoodi Bohra community) and Al-Jame-al-Aqmar built in 1125 in Cairo, Egypt features with its Fatimi philosophy and symbolism and bring its architecture vividly to life. "The Fatemi rulers in North Africa and Egypt made the masjid the focal point of the uninterrupted flow of both the water of life and water of learning. They fostered noble traditions of thought and philosophy. They Produced and preserved an immense wealth of literature. They founded Cairo and Al-Azher university. They built Jame-Anwer, the ...

M2TW/Bellum Crucis 6.3: Romans of Byzantium vs Arabs/Egyptians of the Fatimid Caliphate
IF YOU WISH TO SKIP THE SHOWING OF UNITS & GO STRAIGHT TO THE BATTLE JUST SKIP TO 6:00 This custom battle is the second one i played to check the units right after i edited the number of men per unit of almost all units in all factions, i only left as small units those like Greek firethrowers, naffatun, hashishin etc. I increased all medium & light infantry units to 152 per unit & the heavy infantry units to 122 per unit, because some had less & others had lesser. The cavalry units, i made them all evenly 82 per unit, cos some were less & some had more. I gave the Roman officers red boots with yellow double headed eagle & changed the cloak from plain brown to that red with many small yellow double headed eagles, took it from the varangian captain textures in the same mod. So this is just a custom battle to check this but its turned out to be a fast fought but intresting battle in which the fatimids, although fought well were destroyed. The Holy Roman Empire vs the Abbasid Caliphate custom battle is next.

Les Fatimide les Ziride et l'invasion des Banu Hilal et des Banu Soleim
Originaire de la région du Nejd en Arabie, ils ont d'abord émigré dans le sud de l'Égypte avant de partir pour le Maghreb. Mené par Abu Zayd al-Hilali, Ils ont été utilisés par les Fatimides pour réprimer les Zirides (berbères) d'abord alliés puis vassaux des premiers qui leur ont délaissé le pouvoir après la conquête de l'Égypte et la fondation du Caire, mais qui devenaient de plus en plus indépendants et sont allés jusqu'à abandonner le chiisme. Les Zirides ont reconnu le califat Abasside, les Fatimides ne l'ont pas accepté. Les Fatimides, du même coup, débarrassaient leur territoire de Haute-Égypte d'une tribu particulièrement difficile à contrôler. Les Zirides furent vaincus rapidement et leurs voisins Hammadides et Zénètes furent beaucoup affaiblis. La dernière bataille sera fatale , la coalition Hilaliens- banu suleim décapite le chef Abou Soda de l'armée berbère composée des Ifrenides en 1058.Les Berbères suppletifs de loccupation romaine et byzantine s'enfuient et livrent le pays aux Hilaliens. Après avoir réglé provisoirement la situation en Andalousie, Abd al-Mumin, dont les forces s'étaient accrues, décida de frapper un grand coup dans le Maghreb central. Il se dirigea, à marche forcée et dans le plus grand secret vers Bejaia. Son avant-garde entra, sans coup férir, dans Alger et dans Bejaia, d'où Yahya s'était enfui, puis son fils prit et saccagea la Qalaa (1151). Les Arabes comprirent le péril. Devant eux, ils retrouvaient des berbères fortement organisés et ...

MAXIUMUS Present: la Kabylie
Kabylie or Kabylia (Kabyle: Tamurt n leqbayel) is a cultural region in the north of Algeria. It corresponds more or less with the homeland of the Kabyle people. It is part of the Atlas Mountains and is located at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Kabylia covers several districts (wilayas) of Algeria: the whole of Tizi Ouzou and Bejaia (Bgayet), most of Bouira (Tubirett) and parts of the wilayas of Bordj Bou Arreridj, Jijel, Boumerdes, and Setif. The Fatimid dynasty of the 10th century originated in Petite Kabylie, where an Ismaili da'i found a receptive audience for his millennialist preaching, and ultimately led the Kutama tribe to conquer first Ifriqiya and then Egypt. After taking over Egypt, the Fatimids themselves lost interest in the Maghreb, which they left to their Berber deputies, the Zirids. The Zirid family soon split, with the Hammadid branch taking over Kabylie as well as much of Algeria, and the Zirids taking modern Tunisia. They had a lasting effect on not only Kabylie's but Algeria's development, refounding towns such as Bejaia (their capital after the abandonment of Qalaat Beni Hammad) and Algiers itself. After the Hammadids' collapse, the coast of Kabylie changed hands regularly, while much of the interior was often effectively unruled. Under the Ottoman Turks, most of Kabylie was inaccessible to the deys, who had to content themselves with occasional incursions and military settlements in some valleys. In the early part of the Ottoman period, the ...

Stainless Steel6.3: 1st Crusade, The Battle of Ascalon 1099 1/2
The Last Battle of the 1st Crusade. The Battle of Ascalon 1099 was fought between 10200 Crusaders of the newly founded Kingdom of Jerusalem & the Muslim Fatimids that gathered an army of some 30-50000 Saracens to retake Jerusalem back. The Actual Commanders of the battle of Ascalon were Godfrey of Bouillon, Raymond IV of Toulouse & Robert II of Flanders, but there were also other famous Crusader Knights of the 1st Crusade, commanding smaller sections, like Tancred de Hauteville, Robert of Normandy ( son of William the Conqueror ), Gaston IV of Béarn ( the 1st man into Jerusalem ) & Eustace III of Boulogne ( younger brother of Godfrey & Baldwin ). The Fatimids were commanded by Al-afdal Shahanshah & his army consisted of Arabs, Seljuk Turks, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Persians, Armenians & Kurds. The 'Gesta Francorum' states that the Saracen invading force numbered around 200000men which is believed to be an exageration, but modern estimates concluded 30-50000 Saracens. The Crusaders, according to Raymond of Aguilers, who held the Holy Lance in this battle, had 1200 Knights & 9000 Infantry, but nevertheless, they marched out of Jerusalem to meet the Saracens in open battle. A skirmish near Ramla where Tancred captured captives, allerted both sides that they are close to eachother. On the morning of the 12th August, crusader scouts reported the location of the Fatimid camp and the army marched towards it. During the march the crusaders had been organized into nine divisions ...
