Large Ottoman Empire

I posted this in another thread and chegitz guevara suggested I post here as well, so here it is:

Sadly, Sweden was reduced to one province and remains that way

Some other odd things in this game, England taking most of mainland Portugal, forcing Portugal's capital to re-locate to Niteroi, in South America (but they own Kabylia, which is Protestant for some reason), a Catalan Quebec forming (I'm playing AGCEEP and Aragon was never annexed by Spain) and a pagan Mexico

I'm Mongolia, wearing the unlovely shade of orange up in the Steppes.

Nice to see an OE not beaten to a pulp for once.

But they still usually crash and burn...

Crusade anyone?

Mabye it's a sign that the AGCEEP alterations help the OE, or maybe it's a fluke. It's the first time I've ever seen Austria get completely annexed.

I for one don't see any picture in this thread, nor do I get one when I look into the source code, there is a "http://www.troggle.web1000.com/OE.jpg", but when I copy it into an extra IE window all it I get is being redirected to www.paysforsurveys.com when I do that.

Troggle · 18-03-2004, 21:22

That's the correct URL. Web1000 redirects you to payforsurveys.com if you enter an invalid URL.

Try it again, you might have misspelled it.

That is the oddest AI OE I've ever seen! I'd tend to see something like that as a fluke, though. In my most recent runs with AGCEEP the OE I've never seen the OE take a single province away from Austria, much less annex them.

I copied and pasted it there.
Tried it again just now by copy and pasting it from my post to both IE or Firefox and I still get redirected.

Sorry about that, I don't know what to do. If you PM me your email address I could send you a copy.

OE also took Crete, Corfu, Rhodes and Ionia, so all sorts of weird things were happening. Not to mention, Qara Koyunlu owning provinces in India, and owning the CoT of Malacca. Oman took Tarakan and The Hedjaz took Santal, the Mughal Empire formed from Delhi but was annexed by Bengal, and Kongo seems to have won a colony from Portugal during a war (there's a Catholic but Kongolese culture province on the coast that was only about 150 people)

All of that, and Serbia owns Sicily.

Actually, Sicily is independant, broke free from... wait for it... the Ottoman Empire. They were everywhere.

In my current game, the OE is also doing very well. They control all of the middle east, Egypt, Arabia, Greece and the Balkans. This was done without annexing Austria. I would post a screen shot but I don't have a website to put the picture on.

In my current game as Portugal using the latest AGCEEP beta the Byzantine Empire has (for the first and possibly only time) survived the Ottoman Onslaught. But not only that, nearly all of the balkans and modern day Turky is now theirs except for Trebizond which is Georgian, and Anatolia and Ancora which are... wait for it... EGYPTIAN. Thats right, those crazy Egyptians managed to diplo-annex the Ottomans. Just when I thought I saw it all

Its great to see the great green beast get smacked for once.
