Lord_D - I quite agree. That battle was so important to win. Without it I wouldn't have been able to demand land and at the same time my army in Thrace lost to a 50K OE force who would most likely have gone on to assault and take Thrace dragging the war out for even longer. During that battle the little arrow thing went right over to the OE side and I was taking big losses then in the last phase it shot right back over an I won somehow.

rsobota - I don't think the cannons are accurate but i like them for a change. The Civ units don't really convert over quite right but i like the look of them all the same.

Chief Ragusa - I haven't got a monarch with a good diplo rating plus I keep gaining provinces so BB is staying roughly the same all the time.

Walter Model - It can only get better.

J. Passepartout - Always :D. Being an evil enemy like the OE who DOWed me just makes it a lot sweeter.

Saulta - Thats always a goal :)

Specialist290 - Thanks though I feel the win really came down to the poor ai of the OE. They always go for Tabaristan then instead of keeping on advancing that way they try to get to ElBruz and Turkmenistan by going to the north of the Caspian :wacko: It makes no sense and they can be easily picked off.

GrimPagan - The COT has trade around 200 and its always full of merchants so good income from the province.

SunZyl - Maybe not just yet. For the moment he had just risen from a lowly rank in the army, his ambition isn't too strong yet.

coz1 - Thanks, its certainly very welcome. Its good to have both the main COTs in region. The one in Tula is tempting now :D

Nobegow - Thanks. It seems Chigishi sure is popular now.

stnylan - When I got the DOW from the OE I got a big fright I really was expecting to have their massive CRT advantaged army walk all over me.

lilljonas - Another one for Chigishi. Someone must back Hulagu?

billy bob - :D Very true, no head bowing in the Horde.

Nobegow - Come on, putting Chuck Norris in is hardly fair on the others. And once in power he'd likely rule the world in a year or two (if that) wheres the fun it that?

Specialist290 - It's getting to be a big camp :D.
 
Since you want one vote for Hulagu, becasue he is likely to forget to vote for himself, I'll back him.

His books set him apart from other members of the Horde:
1001 uses for an uzbek
muskrats in moscow - a very entertaining comedy. Mind you, reviewers in Moscovy were heard to mutter "this means war" - if only it were really so easy.
mine lass in mongolia - one man's search for the perfect bride.

His great plans for public works:
the land bridge across the Caspian Sea undertaken by the Uzbek Construction Company - a bridge made entirely out of uzbeks.

Hulagu's writtings are completey devoid of capitilisation, punctuation and anything above a child's grammar or comprehension.

According to Hulagu, the best thing about being Khan is that no one disagrees with you. (within earshot anyway!)

Click to expand...

Hulagu is probably so stupid, that he don´t even realize you´re supporting him.
 
Duke W, that was a great war against the Turks! Those critical battles like the one at Azerbaijan are what make the game great. :) Well done!

Who is the country with the blue flag in Nuyssaybin?

Maybe you should set the aristocratic slider to max for better diplomacy and BB reduction. (Or is it too late for that now?)

Hulagu likely doesn't even know he is in peril. He naively thinks that everyone likes him because of the victory in the war. He won't know better until there is a knife between his ribs. :D
 
Chief Ragusa - :rofl: Great stuff. Those books look fun.

J. Passepartout - Would head of the uzbek MENSA be ok? There's really nothing to it.

Nobegow - So another one for Chigishi. This man is the most popular Tatar for quite some time.

Saulta - Quite true.

Chief Ragusa - No I think its rather that no one has killed him yet because he is Khan.

jwolf - It was quite a fun war. I was watching that battle on the edge of my seat. That's Ak Koyunlu there in Nuyssaybin. Aristocracy is maxed out already. Hulagu would struggle to realise something was wrong even with a knife in his ribs :rolleyes:

Suwaida : Part 1
For the duration of the war Hülagü had been given a completely different war to command than the real one. Luckily his generals had managed to concoct a false one that was able to be plausibly ended at the same time as the real one. However Hülagü wasn't happy about this. He wanted the war to go on. His elite land navy had only just reached the Aral Sea (in his war) and were now on the way to Istanbul. It would hardly be right for them to not see action he claimed.

On and on he went about the subject. Throwing tantums, holding his breath and refusing to go to bed. The racket he was creating fast became irritating to everyone in the palace. So much so that from that time on anyone who became upset or unhappy with things was said to be Hülaging. It was to everyones relief then when in mid-April Hülagü died of a combination of gout and stabbing, the former being the one officially accepted as cause of death.

The position of Khan was filled the next day by Hülagü's brother Suwaida who fortuantely hadn't inherited so much stupidity.

The New Khan, better but not great​

Suwaida immediately began plans for expansion. First came colonisation on the Horde's borders. Igrim and Kondinsk were the first areas to be liberated from the heathen natives and assimilated into the land of the free.

Take that natives, you're Tatars now​

The following year the Biskra Memorial Conquistador College turned out it's first graduate capable of facing the off-white, a brave young man with the not so brave sounding name of Ennedi.

With a name like Ennedi he was lucky to be taken seriously​

1643 would go down in Horde history as one of very strange occurrences. Suwaida first despatched a series of official gift baskets for the heathen nation of Denmark. He would reveal his reasons to none and it was a move that would damage his reputation in the Horde for the leaders of the Horde don't appreciate unpredicatable or unusual moves. Then in a move that would damage his reputation even further Suwaida commissioned the building of two boats.

Everywhere Suwaida went now people stared at him in disbelief. Boat building now? What next? Would he be claiming that women were equal to men? Surely this was the sign of a madman. No Tatars should have to travel over water (of course with the exception of spies travelling over moats to get aerial pictures of a city). But as long as he was Khan his decision would be final.
 
Building boats? Very fishy.
 
Boats? I hope they are made entirely of swimming uzbeks!
 
Stabbing seems a traditional way to go for Khans. At least Hulagu will not be forgotten. In "hulaging" or "to hulage" - induge in a fit of pique - he will be remembered It's true, Hulagu never did notice my support for him.

Sawaida the almost Khant - did Jalaga actually have a son who is worthy to lead the great Horde?

Is this boat building an exercise in self-preservation? The court lives on the boats, whilst the Tartars with sharp knives fear to venture over water. The Horde will have subjects who are at home on the sea.

I believe this Khan will last slightly longer than Hulagu but with his new ideas, who knows. If he advocates equal rights for Uzbeks, his fate is sealed.

Building them , yes, every country needs a hobby or two:;saling them, no. There will be this sudden rush of enthusiasm for the navy followed by the equally sudden realisation that they don't know how to sail, that their horses don't like sailing any more than they do and no one has thought to provide them with navigation charts.

News that the Horde is building ships will make a good joke in Istanbul.
 
Denmark? Perhaps he wanted to commision some boats first?
 
Hey, you have to keep these incompetant Khan's busy somehow, right?
 
stnylan - Indeed, what could he be up to?

billy bob - uzbeks are a key part of the propulsion of them.

Chief Ragusa - Stabbing is very traditional in the Horde, its uncommon for Khans to die in other ways. Not a bad idea about the courts but still not right :)

lilljonas - Not quite, hmmm no one seems to be able to guess what the boats are for :D

J. Passepartout - Very true. But still not the right answer ;)

GrimPagan - It will all be revealed later.

coz1 - True, and hare-brained schemes are a popular way for them to do so.
