My first AAR (Bremen) stopped because of my switch to HTTT. So here is my second one.

Playing as Ramazan (you know, that little tribe which will be assaulted quickly...) with a 1399 start, the Timurids have dragged me into a little war...

Rules:
I WILL be playing on Very Easy. This is because I do not see how Ramazan can survive otherwise.
No cheats
No reloads
No switching to DW
400 colonists a bunch.

Goals:
Survive. Probably very hard.
Take a nice chunk of Ottoman.
Take out Duldakir.
Take out all other OPMs in the middle east.
Conquer Mecca,Jerusalem,Thrace and Rome, in that order.
Muslimify Europe.
Colonize
Be interested in this game for longer than 1416!

All right.
This. Is. RAMAZAN!!!
 
CHAPTER I: THE FIRST RAMAZANOGLU
Part 1

Ahmad was sitting in his palace. Today was a great day. Adana was truly blessed.
"Bring my commander to me!"
The commander came.
"recruit some mercenaries!"
"why sir, we have a perfectly fine range of men here!"
"Mercenaries are quicker to train."
"sure."
"Sir Sir!" Ahmad's most trusted servant ran in.
"We must act, Duldakir and Karaman are advancing on Anatolia! If we want a share..."
"I see."

The next day, Three messengers and a priest came in.
The priest spoke first:
"In the name of Allah, you must keep our capital safe!"
"ok. The Timurids, Duldakiri and Karamani will help us."
The first messenger spoke. He hade a far asian complexion.
"We warn Ramazan not to go to war with confucians, as my Emperor will attack you"
Ahmad sighed. "we have enough on our hands already"
The second messenger was from the Horn of africa.
"Ahmad, we have started a Jihad against Ethiopia. Just so you know."
The third was from Deccan.
"and we have a Jihad against Gondwana"
"good."

Maybe we should raise war taxes... Ahmad thought.
-----
Summary of events:
Two mercenaries being trained
Timurid alliance advance on ottomans
Ming is Defender of the Faith - they are, more or less, the only ones with Confucianism.
Deccan and Adal have started separate Jihads, against the usual suspects.
