Cowboys and Crusaders
February 27th 2009 18:21
Hmmm, for any one reading I need some opinions on the back drop for my romance I am working on. Ultimately the story will take place nestled within the multidimensional setting I am doing “Ambiance” but the specific world within will be much like our own during the crusades. The Specific crusade will be the 8th crusade.
During this time period Muslim scientists had developed and conceptualized the use of gunpowder as a weapon, but no heavy development could be implemented. In this alternate history world the clock was pushed forward on the Muslim development of firearms so that they had implemented them in the 7th crusade to consolidate the moors in the Spanish peninsula to combat the rising Christian armies. The 7th crusade would end terribly for Christendom and the 8th would be pushed back until the Christians could capture the technology. The 8th crusade would be greatly dragged out having lasted 2 and a ˝ decades with six shooters and shell fed rifles.
Shanty towns have been cropped up in middle eastern cities, and western style “metropolises” forming around fortress cities. Armies will have been replaced with posies of knights from various knightly orders fighting skirmish conflicts.
Once I get opinions on the concept of Crusaders and Cowboys style setting I will post up my proposals for characters.
