Does anyone know who Madhi (450 medal weak tank gen from International Academy) or Muhammad (same academy, useless arty gen who can teach people to hardness the power of petroleum) are IRL? Edit: iran, perhaps you want to look at this? |

My guess is they are no one IRL
Throughout the game in conquest and campaigns they are on either Irag, Iran, or Saudi Arabia. Different sides in cold war depending on campaign or conquest.
Due to the way they are used I think Easytech just wanted some arab generals but they couldn't think of any so they made these two.
The name Muhammad sounds like really common arab name.

Muhammad is one of the most common names in the world, and Mahdi is the Islamic equivalent of the Messiah. There were way more interesting gens from the arab nations then these, Easytech... |

Then why is he working for Saudi Arabia and Iraq? Easy tech have missed out quite a lot in Mid East including Jordan, Syria and UAE Agreed... Syria is always Egyptian for some reason, or just ded in 1960. Dubai exists in campaigns. Jordan would be a pain to place in, so I guess they merged Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestine into the WC3 Syria. Still doesn't explain why he switched from SA to Iraq though. Even more as Jordan was a monarchy and thus would be opposite Iraq during the so-called Arab Cold War (Arab Republics, led by Nasser and supported by USSR, against US-supported Monarchies, even if there was hardly any war and all Arab Nations were technically non aligned). |

I thinks its because of what best75 said, they just needed a generic Arab general because they were to lazy to make any proper ones and if they just stuck a "Commander" in they would get in trouble for been "racist and discriminatory." |

Well. The Mahdi Guy is really strange. in 1943 he is a Saudi General and in 1950 and 1960 he is the General of Iran. This is the most impossible thing in the world because no other countries had much tension like Iran and Saudi arabia throughout history.
Also Being the name of a Shia Imam, "Mahdi" is pretty common name in Iran, Iraq and among other Shia muslims.
My Problem is that Easytech has previously included reallife Iranian General in "Glory of Generals:Pacific" named "Pahlavi" who was actually Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the former King of Iran. In addition to that, Most of the people know that Iranians are not Arabs, They dont speak Arabic and they are not from Arabian race. The only similarity between them is religion(While Iranians are mostly Shia and Most of the Arabs are Sunni)
I understand that Easytech had to Alternate the names of Chinese Generals but they kept their looks and information the same. But in case of Iran,Iraq they could've at last added some Real General.

Pasha is a generic title, so the General Pasha (Ottoman Empire's strongest gen) can be any one of them, though Jean-Luc Picard notes it looks like Muhammad Ali, viceroy of Egypt, though Ali is already a general in the game! Not to mention that Kahia and Karamanli are not Native American; the former is from the Caucasus or Crimea, the latter a Tripolitanian noble family. |
