Ahmad al-Mansur (Civ5)

Ahmad al-Mansur (1549 – 25 August 1603) was the Sultan of the Saadi dynasty from 1578 to his death in 1603, the sixth and most famous of all rulers of the Saadis. His powerful army and strategic location made him an influential player in both Europe and Africa during the late Renaissance period. He leads the Moroccans in Civilization V: Brave New World.
== In-Game ==
Ahmad al-Mansur speaks Moroccan Arabic, considered by most linguists to be the most deviated major variety from Modern Standard Arabic. On his diplomacy screen, he is standing in front of a large caravan tent which is alongside an oasis within the Sahara, illuminated under an early evening sky.

== Trivia ==
The grave of Ahmad al-Mansur is located in the so-called Saadian Tombs in Marrakesh, where some 60 members of the Saadi dynasty are interred. The Tombs, built of cedar and marble, were discovered in 1917 by archaeologists and are today a major attraction for tourists to the city.

== Intro ==
The people of Morocco await your guidance, great Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur of the Saadi Dynasty. Well known for your skill as both a negotiator and a diplomat, your careful words allowed the forging of new alliances, securing the sovereignty of your nation and its people for decades. And still, when words failed, you found equal success in conquest, leading the Moroccan armies to victory on the battlefield while greatly expanding the grasp of your empire.
Wise and respected Sultan, the people look to you for leadership. Can your diplomacy match that of your rivals, or will you meet them sword in hand? Your once great kingdom yearns for that former glory - can you build a civilization that stands the test of time?
