So you know the video game Medieval Total War? Well wether you don't or not, there's this unit in it called the Urban Militia for the Moorish faction, which are basically elite militia units that have better training and equipment than other faction militias. I tried looking up where this came from, but nothing in Almohad military history seems to match this description (although I ironically I've found something that does match it for the Reconquista Christian armies).
Anyone here who might know? And don't say this is for /v/-- they don't know shit about history.

I thought medieval 2 had background info on all units? maybe read the description in game and google what they put down.

Vanilla Medieval Total War is less historically accurate than the Patriot, you know this right?
Download a mod if you're looking for something a bit more accurate. They also tend to include historic information in the unit descriptions.

A lot of medieval 2 total war stuff were based on stereotypes more so than actual history,the whole voice lines of the muslim factions were a prime example of this.

It's a fucking total war game. This is the series that just gives every faction the exact same starting units.
Hell in the next game everyone has the same uniform just with different colors.

I know, and it appeared in Total War 1, too, but they don't give any specifics.

They are basically the same tier as pic-related.
(really fucking cool to play with, if you find that one server in the lobby that has no rules for elephants and 30k)
