Perhaps this thread ought to be stickied with the rest for regions, since Cyprus does not appear to be anywhere.
Vanilla cyprus is pathetic, while current AGCEEP cyprus is not up to the standard of quality that many countries have now achieved.
I have started a whole series of events for Cyprus that I will be posting here for discussion. IMHO Cyprus has the potential to become a new crusader state, like the knights of Rhodes, because of the title to the kingdom of Jerusalem. This potential has not been realized so far, and I doubt if anybody has ever played Cyprus.
I will be giving real history precedence over fantasy in the events previous to the 1474 cession to Venice.
I count on your help for this enterprise

In fact, the royal navy is being used for such purposes, because we are after all a crusading state and the muslims are a legitimate prey. Barsbey, ruler of the Mammeluks, has raided Limassol to demonstrate us that he will not tolerate such practices. A prudent ruler would seek an understanding with the Mammeluks."

After disembarking and finding an agreement with the Genoese of Famagusta, the Bey’s general asked Janus to surrender and recognize the Bey as his suzerain, but Janus answered by killing the messenger. The two armies clashed at the battle of Khirokitia, but the cypriot peasants did not hold, and Janus army was destroyed and the king captured. The Mammeluks proceeded to sack Nicosia, burning the palace and taking thousands of slaves. With the slaves and the King, the Mammeluks finally left for Cairo.

Although the Venetians, the Hospitalliers, and the Pope provided part of the rescue, Cyprus struggled to pay the rest. But king Janus spirit was broken and never recovered fully from the experience."
