WCfD Class of '02: The Sand Dragons of the Timurids

[unmerged(8345)]

Are you kidding me? I gotta conquer the world with what? GH? Timurids? Aztecs? At least I know what they are..

For my assignment I drew a dragon, I gotta conquer the world with those 3, no expolitation at all. It could be done, but the chances are slim, VERY silm. almost 100:1. So let's look at them for a sec

Golden Horde: poor provinces with only Samara and Akstrastan as their only moneymakers.

Aztecs: hell no, I don't care how rich their provinces are, I ain't waiting for big bad Spain to walk over the pond and smack me around lol

Timurids: Rich provinces, rich CoTs, only thing is I gotta hold it together. That could be done.

So I chose the Timurids, and uploaded the simulator.. Off to start now

Good luck. You at least know that it CAN be done - you have the Timurid Scientists to guide you...

A Dragon sounds interesting, as a break from all us Eagles.
This will be interesting. Now I only hope for our Cuckoo student to deliver as well.

You gotta beer in your hand and a pack o' fags and you wonder what do do?

Booze'nd smoke man. Enjoy, just as I am enjoying baby-puke over my shoulder while writing this

 

[Carolus Rex]

Enjoy. The TE is a blast. And a pain.

Since the Timurids are selectable in the Grand Campaign in 1.05 (TIM is a tag in the selectable list of scenarios/the grand campaign.eug), I suggest you sober up enough to hit the right mouse button

Slay them all, and let Chief Scientist know his own.

I came back to the blasted simulator room, hoping to God that the damn thing is working. I saw the guy still tinkering with the stupid thing, so I took the 1.05 disk and reuploaded it.

"Got it, now get the hell outta here, I gotta world to conquer."

"ok, man, later."

I clicked on the Timurid shield and started the simulator

loading....

reading Scenario...

CTD

"What?" I shouted. "I'll try again" and I did, again and again, again, and again. Nothing.

"bah." I said and I left.

OOC: I have no idea why it's doing this. I just keep crashing back. I need to mess with it some more, it could be my crap comp lol.

 

[unmerged(8345)]

ok, fixed it.. heh the 1st 20 years were very interesting lol let me go into it a little more b4 I do an update.

 

[unmerged(8345)]

I went in the simulator once again, with all my stuff, a six pank of Corona, my cigs, and my cigar for the last dance, when the fat lady sings, in other words, when I break the BB limit.

"This should be a piece of cake.." I said as I opened the beer bottle and turned on the sim. I saw the Timurid emipire DP screen. Very aristocrtic, good. VERY decentreallized, gotta fix that. Close to free trade, ok, same with quanitiy and land. which offest each other, and then its more towards serfdom. I went to change it but then I saw my stab rate.. -3. "Damn, but wait... Shit!" I saw the RR rate for a lot of my provinces was 8%. I got to the religion screen and maxed Sunni and Shitte as far as possible.

"That's it? Couldn't be... Why would the Prof assign this country at dragon level?" Then I saw it, in little bold letters.

"we have an extremely bad reputation" I read. "Goddamn! No wonder." It was like a leash on me, I couldn't cross the line now, I need all of India and at least 1/2 of China, plus all of Indo-China and Arabia, before the last dance. Guess I gotta use the diplomats first. I boosted my realtions with The Kaliphate and Gujurat and drafted 10000 riders. Then it hit me again.

Uzbek Khanate delcares war!
Chanagtai Khanate decalres war!

both at once. Time I showed them the power of the Sand Dragons. I sent Shâh Rûkh's riders after them. He smacked Chanagtai back to wherever the hell they came from. I signed a white peace with them since I can't reach them. Then I laid waste to Uzbek, and made them my vassals. It ain't worth taking their land, yet.

Next order of business, I diploannexed The Kaliphate and then Vassalized Gujurat and then, the simulator freezes.

"dammit! Thank God for autosave." I said.

OOC: This will be interesting. Odds are now 500:1 for a total WC 50:1 for at least the Eastern Hemisphere. lol

You forgot to mention that you also start with a bit of inflation

You can reach the Chagatai by attempting to move into their unknown territory. It will take a long time, but you will discover the province. (I didn't know this when I played the Timurids, which meant that the Chagatai survived untouched for much, much longer than they should have)

 

[unmerged(6777)]

I think the school had better look into its budget on simulators. It's obvious that this one is behaving rather badly.

I ended up taking about 1/2 of the Chagatai Khanate in the first war, the other half (except capital) in the war that came along later, and then foce annexed them shortly thereafter. In retrospect I should have spent the BB points elsewhere since I ended up fighting tooth and nail for survival for a while after that.

Whatever you do, make sure you're ready for...well, I'll leave it as a surprise for you if you haven't read the event files.
