After all those wars with the Mameluks, sometime to develop the territories and to burn off some reputation might be good, and by the looks of it you've got the monarch to do the job!

Still I'm quite anxious to see you attempt to further penetrate into Europe, just based on how well you've been playing thus far I suspect the Austrians will be unable to stop you at the gates of Vienna.
 
If the conflict erupted, some feared that the Empire would be at a severe disadvantage.

My advice to those dissenters who question the shrewdness of the great padishan Ali (spiffing portrait btw) is to look on the bright side. At least there will be bombastic and epic tales of the wars they get involved in!
 
All great warriors would be as nothing without great poets to record their deeds.

It's only right that one follows the other.
 
Perfect ruler to burn off some bad boy. Given the size of your Empire, his low military skill shouldn't be of much concern: quantity does have, after all, a quality of its own. :)

I liked the character sketch of the new Sultan. Puts some flesh and bones on the dry stats.

Don't worry - I am not that good of a player. I usually sacrifice whats best to reduce micro-management, such as not having dedicated siege armies that leave thousands of cavalry dying from attrition.

So its a good thing I have large manpower reserves! :p

I agree. The only problem? I can't write poetry to save my life, which means that when I include some quoted "samples" in my next few updates I have to try and write something that doesn't sodomize the eardrums.

Thanks! I try and make each new monarch a little special, so I come up with a suitable portrait and then do a special one-time title bar at the top.

The Padishah swings his gilded sabre
The enemies turn tail and flee
Osman's legacy stretches to the Sambre
The Sublime State heralds his jubilee

:D

Although that did make me laugh pretty hard.

Well unfortunately I'll need to put TSS on a temporary hiatus as I deal with the current strand of influenza that is ravaging my body. It's hard enough to sit down and type this out, considering that every time I cough it feels as though my throat is filled with shards of glass. :(
 
Get better soon!
 
I hope you get better soon. Do you want me to compose an ode to speed up your recreation?

If for no other reason than that we may have more aural sodomy (?). ;)

And send me crashing into further depths of inferiority spawned despair?

Yes. Yes I do. :D

I am feeling better today (thanks for all the messages), but I'm still not fully recovered. I feel that I will probably be able to do something this weekend if my recovery rate doesn't plummet. Fingers crossed!

Definitely, I found it for the first time in the MM forum... although I didn't know who the original witch was :eek: Shouldn't the witch have the copyrights? :rofl:
