Really enjoying this. Hope you can get to become Persia or reform your government soon; could be crippling if you get a TSC right after this war...
Congratz on your hard-fought victory over the Hindu heathens that wrongfully occupied Muslim lands! That inflation is slightly alarming though. All in all, however, yours is turning out to be a quite successful reign.
How did your war against France gain -11% warscore?
Btw, is this the last installment or is there more to come?
And uh... if you still have space I would love to take a turn :unsure: ...
Loving the AAR so far--sorry I didn't get back to you before, Kommando... was in exams and wasn't really checking the forums. I'd love to get a spot if it's open
Awesome turn, Kommando!
Nitpick: I think that last screenshot is from the beginning of your reign. That, or you released all your conquests before your monarchs death .
By the way, don't forget to enact Standardize Measurements and stuff when you can move the national focus in 1505.
Better than nothing and that TSC seems to be pretty manageableHow about I put you two guys onto a "substitute" list and contact you when somebody drops out?
I figured I should try to avoid a very lengthy reign
Kommando, is that Venice controlling Constantinople, or Trebizond?
Interesting to see the Mamluks won against the Ottos. Usually it's all down hill for the Mammies after they've been defeated once by OE.
Yes, make sure to bed only the most intelligent ladies from your harem, and hire people to endlessly train your heir in administrative capabilities. Another <7 admin monarch would be quite unfortunate.
Sadly, that's what we get. And a regency to boot since the bad heir is ten years old (or nine? I don't remember the month of birth). The regency council would be good enough to westernize, but getting a Western or Oriental neighbor may not be worth the trouble and subsequent weaker defensive position since we'd only get one level out of it.
Also, we had very bad luck with the TSC. The situation itself is good - only at war with Qara Koyunlu and that's practically won, a manageable number of non-cores - but the pretender starts in Hormuz, the province that has our biggest rebel spawn. With the ordinary 13k stack and the double sized pretender stack, there are 39k rebels in that one province.
The reign lasted from 1504 to 1518, the save is here.
*Cough* Making your ruler a general when the heir is not yet of age might not have been the wisest decision ever.
alright, i downloaded the game. Starting to play now
