Kinda similar to your game, Ruckel.
The year is 1642.
My allies are Georgia and Tripoli is my vassal.
Currently I'm waiting for BB to die down(a lot of Muslim minors declared Jihad on me and I may have annexed in retaliation.
Then the plan is to devour Persia in a few wars.
And for the last few provinces in Africa to convert to the true faith.
I have the two richest CoTs in the world, one in Thrace, and one on the Horn of Africa.
At one point I had an Empress Zoe with 8/8/8, which was absolutely grand.
I'd move more into Europe(I've had the mission to reconquer southern Italy for nearly 100 years now), but Spain and Austria scare me too much, especially as I was late to westernize.
Heh, at the Austrian border we collectively have 120k men staring at one another.
Although they are currently busy seizing England's holdings in the Black Sea.
I'm not even sure how that happened, England was in the worst shape I've ever seen it around fifty years ago.
Other things of interest:
There was a huge Scandinavia really early on, it's gone now.
Wu took control of China also very early on, however they now have -1 stab, and half the country is already occupied by rebels.
Timurids actually lasted a really long time.
I think they collapsed when they tried to save the Mamlukes from me.
France has been trying to hold on(we were even allied for awhile), but they're slowly falling to Spain.
And, Naples has been the HRE for four generations now, I think.
But they havn't passed any reforms due to the religious mess which is central Europe.
