The Ghaznavid dynasty (Persian: غزنویان) was a PersianateMuslim dynasty of Turkic mamluk origin at their greatest extent ruling large parts of Iran, much of Transoxiana, and North India from 977–1186. The dynasty was founded by Sabuktigin, upon his succession to rule of Ghazna after the death of his father-in-law, Alp Tigin, who was a breakaway ex-general of the Samanid Empire from Balkh, north of the Hindu Kush in Greater Khorasan.
Although the dynasty was of Central Asian Turkic origin, it was thoroughly Persianized in terms of language, culture, literature, and habits, and hence is regarded by some as a "Persian dynasty" rather than Turkic.
Sabuktigin's son, Mahmud of Ghazni, declared independence from the Samanid Empire and expanded the Ghaznavid Empire to the Amu Darya, the Indus River and the Indian Ocean in the East, and to Rey and Hamadan in the west. Under the reign of Mas'ud I, the Ghaznavid dynasty began losing control over its western territories to the Seljuq dynasty after the Battle of Dandanaqan, resulting in a restriction of its holdings to modern-day Afghanistan, Punjab, Pakistan, and Balochistan. In 1151, Sultan Bahram Shah lost Ghazni to the Ghurid king Ala al-Din Husayn.

I gave the Roman Byzantines here a defencive stance & let the Ghaznavids come since i had a slightly better position. No skills, just a quick custom battle tho its still turned out an intresting battle. I haven't played much against Ghaznavids & it seems they have a lot of tough spearmen units besides strong heavy armored cavalry.
I begin my epic journey as Sultan Ibrahim and get all of the boring stuff out of the way. I also married a moron apparently. What could possibly go wrong? Where to get Crusader Kings 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/203770/ Historical Ghaznavids: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghaznavids

(AD 977--1186), Turkish dynasty that ruled in Khorāsān (in northeastern Iran), Afghanistan, and northern India. The founder of the dynasty was Sebüktigin(ruled 977--997), a former Turkish slave who was recognized by the Sāmānids (an Iranian Muslim dynasty) as governor of Ghazna (modern Ghaznī, Afg.). As the Sāmānid dynasty weakened, Sebüktigin consolidated his position and expanded his domains as far as the Indian border. His son Maḥmūd (ruled 998--1030) continued the expansionist policy, and by 1005 the Sāmānid territories ha...

This is the recently released version of Broken Crescent 2.4. I'm playing as the Mamlakat of Sindh. Our war against the Ghaznavids is going quite well.
