I like the idea of the range of consequences upon the fall of Constantinople, and I agre with getting rid of Genoa after the fall. However, I have doubts about doing a 1921 on Trebizond 500 years early and the Armenians in Azerbaijan seems like an anchronism to me.

 

[Mad King James]

True, though the same argument should go for having Smyrna stay Greek too, but what I was trying to do was the create the environment that exists in all scenarios after the GC (in the AoE and onwards, Trebizond, Kerch and Kaffa belong to the Ottomans and they're all sunni and turkish)

 

[Araanor]

You should, however, find all places you wrote "orthadox" and make corrections.

 

[Wulfram]

I don't agree with the cede Kaffa + Kerch to Trebizond stuff.

I mean, I'm pretty sure they didn't get them when they historically outlived Genoa.

Oh, and shouldn't Byzantium have the opportunity to move back to Constantinople if they regain it without destroying the Ottomanss (If they lost it then regained it in one war, or the Ottomans decided to stay where they were)

Nope, when they moved to Morea they pretty much gave up the title of the Roman Empire. Constantinople would be toast and totally depopulated, the only way they could retake it would be the Byzantine revival. Also don't forget most of the time Turkey moves it's capitol there (in my GC anyways)

As to the "i think"s, it's not open to discussion the main reason I made my own GC is I'm a control freak. All I'm doing here is 'sharing'

it was a shame too, that the heirs to the roman family in the morea spent their time fighting each other instead of the ottomans... what a waste of a historical opportunity; typical greeks by the way, did you rename the city in the morea to 'mistra'?

love the control freak comment, i'm the same way

[unmerged(6159)]

He can still disagree though, no?

 

[Araanor]

How DID Kerch and Kaffa get into the hands of the Ottomans anyway? They should at least get CBs.

 

[Mad King James]

oh but of course!

I just feel that a project sticks to it's original vision much better if you're only dealing with one bias instead of numerous clashing ones, and my bias is simple, noone is the good guy, they're ALL the bad guy!

It just sorta passed into their control, the area wasn't terribly centralized in this era... I figured giving it to Trebizond would allow Trebizond to survive long enough to be historical, and make it so Turkey would get it eventually anyhow.

 

[Araanor]

I see.

To orthodox. Game will probably crash otherwise.

 

[BaronFoxxe]

I just wanted to mention that I have a real nice short history of Trebizond in the 1420's RPG. It appears that Trebizond had regular wars against the Genovese. If the Genovese navy had not been as strong as it was they would have lost Kaffa/Kerch in the mid 1300s. It also appears that a Horrible plague hit Trebizond when Genoa was at its weakest. So, it is not outside the realm of possiblity for Trebizond to reclaim Kaffa/kerch.

Also, to assist in Trebizond's survival the relationship between Trebizond and the White Sheep should be raised significantly. Also it is far more correct for Trebizond to have a military alliance with Georgia, rather than Constantinople.

One last thing. could somebody make an event for me? I have great diffculty in making them. With the fall of Constantinople the Emperor of Trebizond went through a great deal of effort to create an anti-Ottoman alliance. In fact, it was in the Ottoman's response to this alliance that caused Trebizond's fall. Trebizond, the White Sheep and several other Turkish Amirs all joined together. The army that stood against the Ottomans outside of the City was a truly multi-national force. The other cool thing is that the alliance was led by Trebizond. I still think it is cool that the only orthodox member, and weakest member, led the alliance. Also every member of the alliance was either annexed or destroyed as an effective fighting nation. So devastating was the war that the White Sheep could not deal with the Safavid heresy, thus were absorbed by the Turks shortly afterwards.

There has to be some good events in there somewhere.

 

[Mad King James]

My GC starts with Trebizond leading an alliance of Dulkadir and Ak Koyunlu and Georgia. It's tough to maintain though.

 

[unmerged(8523)]

because of the gradual lessening of relations between christians and moslems, casus belli, or both? high relations and a few marriages don't help at all?

 

[Mad King James]

both :/
I'm thinking of events to renew/strengthen the alliance every time the Ottomans take over a principality.

 

[unmerged(6159)]

Don't the Ottomans have enough trouble already?

in my GC it's very rare the Ottomans have problems, they get insane amounts of money and Constantinople in one war. The difficulty is actually keeping it from conquering Trebizond until the fall of Constantinople.
