I saw on the SCREENSHOT that provinces around the dead sea have PORTS! Now let's just think! Would this mean that you can have battleships over there ? If yes, than i think it is a little odd. When did the crusaders fight arabs on the dead sea ?

It's an alpha screenshot, so that will definately be sorted out... IIRC, there were posts in inland provinces too.

"Almost exactly eight centuries earlier in 1116-17 Aqaba had been occupied by another armed expedition led by Baldwin I. the crusader king of Jerusalem. It remained in Frankish hands until 1170 when it was taken by Saladdin. For a brief period, over the winter of 1182-3 the place was also held by the infamous Frankish Lord of Karak, Reinald of Chatillon, who launched a small flotilla there to harrass Muslim shipping in the Red Sea."

Can anything actually float in the dead sea? Nothing really grows around to make a boat out of. You would have to haul the lumber over there, build the boat and then what are you going to do with it? There nothing to raid or blockade. Prolly just a alpha error.
I saw a documenty about life around the dead see. In the peice they spent time on the one and only boat operating on the dead sea. I think it was constructed of aluminum. It was pretty stranges as they had to clean salt off the hull of the boat quite often--hence the name of the boat "Lot's Wife". I think that they used the boat for basic research on the sea and it's history.
My one visit to the Holy Land was generally fairly miserable but for my day in the desert. Can't wait to enter the Mountains of Moab and storm Baalbek. Even the name evokes the mystic East and that. Although my gallant knights will probably be drinking their own piss before we were halfway there.
Piss? Hmm...Maybe thats why the Dead Sea is so salty...All those "gallant" knights relieving themselves on the sandy beaches.
