I went to IKEA again today....how sad is that?


Anyway, so I've found a website which pretty much explains the Battle of Uhud, one of the battles of the Prophet Mohamed very well for laymans:

As the war with Mecca went on, Ali continued to show his battle prowess. In the Battle of Uhud, Ali fought bravely and was wounded seventeen times (!!) while fighting off hordes of Meccan troops. He also managed to help rescue The Prophet when Mohammad fell into a hidden pit trap. Ultimately, the Muslim forces were beaten back by the superior generalship of mega-badass Khalid ibn Al-Waleed, an incredibly powerful Meccan tribesman who would go on to be one of the greatest heroes of the Muslim Empire. I pretty much envision this battle going down like a game of Dynasty Warriors 4 for the PS2, where you've got like Ali and Khalid running around killing everything that moves and being totally awesome, but I guess Ali didn't take out enough Gate Captains or whatever so he ended up losing out on all the good Morale bonuses.

Game: 'Ali has sealed a stronghold!'
Ali: "I'm the badassinest badass of all badasses!"
Game: 'Ali has defeated 350 enemies!'
Ali: "My bad ass is so badass, it has its own badass zip code!"

Someone needs to do a hack for Dynasty Warriors (much like the infinite hacks they did for Wining Eleven).

Eh, I don't like Dynasty Warriors all that much. ROTK is much better.

Here's one for Saladin:

Finally, Salah al-Din was like, "OK seriously, fuck this guy." and he set out to kick the ass of Raynald of Chatillon. Raynald got all pumped up and sent out his knights to try and fight the Muslim infidels, but Salah al-Din was patient and cautious with his forces. He waited out the crusader knights until they had become tired, thirsty and exhausted, and when they went to go get some water from the river, Salah al-Din's forces jumped them at the Battle of Hattin in July of 1187 and beat the holy living hell out of the Christian knights. Raynald of Chatillon was captured at the battle, as were the Grand Masters of the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers. Salah al-Din sold all the captured knights back to their families for hefty ransoms except for Raynald, who was executed because he had been both a total bitch and a pain in the ass.
