Any Empires created yet in your game?

[unmerged(218998)]

So I started a new game as the King of Denmark after 1.06 came out and within the first 40 years I saw the first Empire form. It was the Seljuk Empire[Persian] and promptly saw it fall apart within 2 years.

I think it might have helped that the founder of the Empire Shahanshan Alp Arslan I died of a suspicious accident within 1 year leaving the Throne to his son. Who then promptly died of a suspicious accident within the year then leaving the Throne yet again to his 10 year old son that saw atleast half of the Empire revolt.


Fantastic how that played out and am officialy "In Love" with the new Empires that are createable!

Just the Persian Empire so far, think it's about 1120. I'm about 36% of the way to forming britain as the duke of moray.

Second Seljuk sulten turned persian, formed the persian Empire. Third one went turkish, but after that they went persian and stayed that way. Eventually they got taken over by the Kasabites (desert people, cause they had 100 dec.).

only one I've seen was when Alp Arslan formed Persian Empire

Scandinavia and Russia co-exist in my current game

Sigh. According to the devs those empires would be rarely formed by the AI.

Reports of empires forming in this thread would obviously be victim of the self-selection bias. I wouldn't read much into it.

Yeah - I've seen zilch, most of these areas are as divided as ever for me.

Persia is the only empire the AI consistently seems to be able to form, in my experience.

Consistently?

Across how many games?

Two.

Also reports from four friends, and the posts in this thread.


Yeah it's not a large sample, but I am not a scientist.

Yeah, but Alp Arslan owns almost all the Persian Empire and only needs the money, piety and culture to form it.

Only empire I have seen the AI form was Persia. Of course I have only played 1 full game with patch so far.

I guess if he manages to have his kid turn Persian in a non-gamey way, then it might work. Historically, the post-Arab-conquest monarchy was supposed to be a continuation of previous Persian monarchies even in Muslim times but then the rulers were actually Persian, not Seljuks with Persian tutors. I guess it's reasonable and historically viable, problem being that if it happens every single game it will look bad, especially when it happens shortly after start, when the characters' decisions have not yet had the time to accumulate much.

Alp Arslan didn't even get to form the Persian Empire in my game, IIRC. He was captured by the Byzantines in the Seljuk-Byzantine war, died (I think?) and his heirs saw stupid upheaval.

The only new Empire in my current game is Spain, which was formed by myself.

You mean that, in a thread asking people if Empires have been created in their games, there are people who have had Empires created in their games? Say it ain't so? How on Earth do you think you can gauge how often the AI forms Empires from half a dozen replies about how there's been maybe one or two Empires formed?

 

[neondt]

I've seen Persia twice. Also Spain, but that was me.

 

[ByzCrusader]

I've only ever seen Persia formed by the Seljuks, which I think is probably pretty reasonable.

I can't calculate the percentage of people with such empires in their games to the total number of players if that's what you mean. But if just after the patch goes live people come back with stories of new AI empires, then something's wrong in light of the assurances that it'd be a rare occurrence.

At least the Mongols can't form all those empires without changing their culture.

Wales is pretty close to forming Brittania
Protip: I'm Wales.
