[SoI]Fatimids Cultural Victory
- Thread starter SanJose
- Start date
That worked and I played my set.
Events:
To Do:
Events:
- Delhi captured Uch, I sent reinforcements to help Sindh
- Mopped up the some indies in Anatolia, Thrace and Africa. Process is ongoing..
- Trained Assassins
- We stole Chemistry from Sindh, I doubt we'll be stealing anything else during this game
- Settled two GMs in Cairo
To Do:
- Continue assassin and GG training
- Decide where to spread Hinduism
- We should choose the three Legendary culture cities, my suggestion would be: Cairo, Alexandria and Jerusalem
- Help Sindh recapture Uch, then make peace + trades
- We should try to vassalise Bahmanids
- Further expansion will make vassalising difficult, if it already hasn't, since other civs won't vassalise, if we are close to Domination Victory
- Avoid reaching Gunpowder Empires Era, before Vijay Stambha is ready
- Hoard company resources
- We should improve our military presence in India and Iran
- Continue assassin and GG training
Close to complete for GG - Decide where to spread Hinduism
Jerusalem become city of 6 religions
- We should choose the three Legendary culture cities, my suggestion would be: Cairo, Alexandria and Jerusalem
Agree - Help Sindh recapture Uch, then make peace + trades
- We should try to vassalise Bahmanids
Until we are fighting against Delhi Sultanate it's impossible - Further expansion will make vassalising difficult, if it already hasn't, since other civs won't vassalise, if we are close to Domination Victory
We can kill Omani, Timurids, later Uzbeks and Hindu states, assassinate Heir of Ak Kounlu, Bahmanids and Safavids for growth land requirement to 29-31%
- Avoid reaching Gunpowder Empires Era, before Vijay Stambha is ready
- Hoard company resources
We need to control Silk Road=( - We should improve our military presence in India and Iran
Build 2 additional roundship for transport Axum siege army (~10 turn via sea)
Notice:
Kingdom of Gujarat tend to be a declaration of war on Bahmanids near turn 360
Bahmanids dont settled Kolhapur, they have no chance of resistance to mighty Gujarat army.

Other after full test play

Helped Sindh to return Uch, we lost camel merc. After peace trade sheep for 8
pt only
In 1376 Kingdom of Gujarat attack poor Bahmani Sultanate and capture Mumbai, i pay 1 tech for peace between this states. 22 years later the same thing happened(war&tech for peace), as result - Bahmanids vassalise to Delhi Sultanate.
In south i razed Axum without losses(now this army in Thatta). After siege of Sinope our Warlord receive 150 XP
Capture Yezd.
In 1382 georgian cities declared independence, Khwarezm Empire has been destroed.
Malwa respawn as sunni sultane in 1392AD and collapsed 10 years later
Also i settled Suq and liberated it for Yemen, they after lossing Naxchivan and Salalah become unstable.
New GM and GE(tech) born in Al-Qahira, spread hindu in Al-Kudus and Al-Iskandariyya.
Completed last WWs which stopped our science:
New era started:
Remaining 12 techs:
Zengids still alive after Ak Kounlu flip.
I razed Hamadan and twice assassinate Gujarat's Heir.

Black Death began again
To do:
- Settled coffee town in Abyssinia;
- Coup de grace for Zengids;
- Prepare to war with Ak Kounlu and Georgia;
- Continue to clear Persia;
- Continue assassin(90/101 and 96/100 XP);
- Start to build pover road Dimashq-Esfahan after Black Death;
To decide:
- We can just capitulated Ak Kounlu, Safavids and Bahmanids with only 1 city, after it - assassinate Heir;
- Assassinate KoC's Heir;
- If Gujarat collapsed - capture Khambat and Dwarka for Sindh and destroyed other cities;
- What to do with shia cities in Caucasus and Kurdistan
Not much happened. One of our spies reached 100xp and we got the retired military general event, from which I chose cavalry reformation (shock for every cavalry unit). I have set our troops to tackle Ak Kouynly, but I have waited for the stubborn Zengids to collapse. Gujarat collapsed and we are also ready to vassalise Bahmanids. We shouldn't conquer much more cities without killing civs, since we are getting close to domination.
Congratulations! We completed goal#5
I planned next:
Notes:
I planned next:
- OB with Ak Kounlu and attack Kingdom of Georgia, razed all cities without Shia(Ani and Poti);
- Regroup assassins against Kingdom of Cyprus;
- Capture Kolhapur+Khambat and liberated for Sindh;
- Block indie Turbat spawn;
- Next goal for Persian and Indian army - Kingdom of Oman;
- Build work boat for Yemen in Massawa;
- Trade all available resources for companies and whales;
- Build Grand Fleet in Duba.
Notes:
- Yemen don't trade 2nd coffee(they stopped trading with Zengids,Oman, Sindh and Bahmanids at my request => coffee is not listed)
- Can i use 1 GE for Red Fort and switch civics (which are better for combo with Castes)?
Declared war on Kingdom of Georgia, razed Baku, Kutaisi, Tpilisi and indie Dvin.
Capture Kolhapur and Khambhat for Sindh plus razed Somnath and Vegh Kot, but stupid AI rebuild this crap cities. Also disband Ani and Qazvin:
Declared war on Kingdom of Oman, razed Sur.
Settled 2 Great Merchant in Al-Qahira.
Zengids collapsed only in my last turn

Hi, long game by the looks of it.
Give me a shout if you folks want to start another after this one is done. I will try to pay more attention to messages.
(SanJose: I think they need to be personal messages (not visitor messages) for an email alert to be generated.)

Bahmanids are very sucky. I much prefer early civs.
Yes, their lands are terrible.
Malwa/Gujarat/Makuria look interesting for Time Victory, but i have no idea about additional goals for challenge.
We completed the WW goal and we are getting close to the population goal, since we got rice from Ajmer. We also collapsed the KoC, destroyed Oman and capitulated Safavids, although I think that we can't get Shahanshah title without collapsing them. Portugal spawned at war because of Yemen and landed their army next to Gwadar, but we held it. We'll soon have frigates to counter their naval superioty.
Continue to do what's left of our goals.
Continue to do what's left of our goals.
Spoiler :
in all citiesWe have killed so many civs that the land goal is 29%.
E. it was that but it seems that Safavids and Portugal dropped it back to 25%.
I'll check out the autosaves.
E. You can just give cities to Malwa, they'll accept anything. We have numerous cities that we don't need like Angora and any city without company resources. Check out the save and suggest which ones we should let go. Then collapse Safavids, Mewar and Bukhara. Sindh is bringing us almost 5% of land, maybe we should collapse them? They have way too many cities.
