Golden Horde - Scourge From The East

[unmerged(37350)]

I like to see all other countries suffer, They all are my enemies anyway, Even more if they are Muslims or Ortodox, never liked does :rofl:

 

[coz1]

Well, I guess I should get on the "watch for Sweden" bandwagon. Were it me, I might have decided for some of the provinces to the south by Lithuania and let Sweden continue to irritate Muscovy in the north, but either way, you will still have hostiles next door. Nice work gaining the Turks as allies.

Murtada's Reign : Part 2
Volgograd, January 1489
Bayezid cheered along with the rest of his entourage as the riders finished their display. The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire had just been treated to a show of prowess by some of the Horde's top horsemen. There had been displaying of award winning horseback archery and acrobatics. Even a traditional game of Buzkashi by the NBL™ (National Buzkashi League). A game in which riders throw about and wrestle over a goat carcass on horseback to try and be the one to carry it into the winning circle the most times.

A pleasant game of buzkashi, not a popular game for refs or goats​

The festivites continued late into the night with all especially Bayezid and Murtada in high spirits.

Late the next day after plenty of water the serious business of diplomacy began. The Khan and the Sultan had recently created one of the most powerful alliances in the world and they met now to discuss its first actions.

The Holy Golden Alliance is outlined​

Bayezid was impatient and eager. He wanted to expand now at the expense of Hungary. Murtada knew better. An attack on Hungary would draw in her liege Poland and also Lithuania. The Horde did not wish to fight them just yet, some peace was desired for a few years to rebuild from past wars.

As an alternative Murtada proposed expanding first at the expense of smaller neighbours before taknig on the bigger ones. After some time Bayezid too was persuaded to this view.

Another night of even more merriment followed (and of course another day of headaches and darkened rooms followed that)

​

The Sultan and the Khan did party like twas 1499​

All the while they rocked out to Khan's personal brass band the Rolling Heads, a lively bunch of chaps​

After recovering the Sultan departed for Istanbul happy about the strength of the two nations and confident they would remain on good terms. They would be equal partners in this alliance any expansionist move would have to be discussed with the other. Bayezid hoped they would discuss much.

A war vs. the Hungarians Would Be Very FUnny. Do it Before Austira interhit than =P

Rolling Heads :rofl:

I love watching the NBL on EPKN (Every Possible Khanate Network)

 

[Duke of Wellington]

Lord Skane - Thanks

Nobegow - I think that will be up to the Sultan so sometime there probably will be one

BBBD - Murtada prefers the BBC (Beheading Bloody Crimeans)

You seem to have managed the worst part! Will you take the lead in the alliance or let the eager Ottomans declare war, to keep your reputation better?

I think its going a combination of the two. Certainly the next update will have both

 

[Grundius]

I think the title of your AAR is no longer correct .

I know, I truly did believe at the start that this aar would only go for 100 years or so but now.... I still feel like tech is gonna get the better of me in the end.

Hey, That puny Austria could be annexed if you take it! So no big blob disturbing the smaller countries which you later on can take more easly. :rofl:

I suspect Hungary may take care of them soon enough, it happens in a lot of my games. Perhaps my PC has something against the Habsburgs

 

[unmerged(15337)]

Grundius's comment about the title is right. Maybe you should change it to

Golden Horde: Back from the Dead

 

[Grundius]

Austria is a little too vulnerable in the AGCEEP imho, because they have to wait to inherit Tyrol and Styria. In my games I also often see Austria itself die, although usually Tyrol then becomes Austria and becomes the blob anyway. Still, Styria and Tyrol are themselves minors that are very vulnerable as well.

jwolf - I've already PMed LD about a name change

Grundius - Hungary seems to take out Styria quickly, Tyrol gets too aggressive for its own good and add the Hussites on Austria's border its not good for the ai.

 

[coz1]

The NBL... :rofl: Good stuff. Seems like you might try to get down the Siberian corridor if you can get some colonists and a conquistador.

 

[unmerged(53612)]

Liked The Name Change
Good Luck in the REBIRTH!
!

 

[unmerged(15337)]

I liked "back from the dead" personally. Congratulations not only on the new title, but the great gameplay which brought it about!

 

[Duke of Wellington]

coz1 - I hope to soon. it would be good to reconquer the homeland. Do you know what year conquistadors can appear randomly?

Nobegow - Thanks

jwolf - I think I like that name better too. I'd already asked LD to change it though
