Imperium OffTopicum: The Enlightenment Redux

[Robert Can't]

​

Nawab Saadat Ali Khan fought in the wars in Deccan against the Maratha alongside the last of the Mughal Emperors. As Aurangzeb drew his last breath Saadat Khan was there. The broken dream of the Mughal Empire shattered into various states. As time went on the dreams of the old Empire were still held in the dreams of a few, including Saadat Khan. The warring states were slowly unified. The new capital of Faizabad was established and peace was brought to the Subcontinent.

Seeking fellowship in Islamic brotherhood Saadat Khan joined with the Caliphs of North Africa however he was most cruelly betrayed as the Caliph declared himself lord of all that he could see and sought to take away India from its rightful Indian masters. With hindsight he looked back ans saw this: The Berbers, the Egyptians and the Andalucians are not the same as the great men of India. We are the sons of Timur, the descendants of the great Khan. Men like us, men of the fields and gardens, shall not be ruled by men of sand and dust.

Only now has power once again been brought into the hands of a single Prince. Only now has the great dream once again been realised. India has gone a whole generation without Mughal rule but now as the armies of Awadh march across the fertile soil of India it is said by many that Saadat Khan is as great as once the Mughal Emperors of old were. He has a well deserved reputation for integrity and power. Near all of India bows before him and so the Princely states have decided that the Nawab shall be acknowledged as more that just a Nawab and from this day forth he shall be known as Mughal Emperor Saadat Ali Khan and he shall answer to none but Allah and India.

Everybody has five seconds to explain what the word "merger" means.

can we just say that the merger was not de jure and not go through with the union and reverse this whole mess

 

[Double A]

Not with as much time as I've spent working on the updated map and my orders.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I was noting the areas which were able to expand into... well baring the two...

As for reversing: sadly I have been told that a reverse would not alter the whole breakup thing.

We shall not cede our province, but we are willing to sign a military alliance and OB with you.

From: Hellas
To: Egyptians

We did not attack the Muslims in India. We have never attacked a Muslim power and we have even been in friendly terms with you. However, the Muslims in India attacked our client in China. We are acting in self-defense. We shall not accept you to bully us just because you have more land and soldiers than us. Hellenes die, they do not surrender.

To Helles from the Caliph

I will seek consul with my colleuge, the Badshah, whom once said...

...the military of Cordoba stands prepared to assist our vassals in India to our fullest military and economic extent.

I would still urge Helles to cease your assault on those who summit to God. Failure will be costly for your empire. I myself desire peace but I am prepared to bless the armies of the Caliphate as they march to liberation. Prey that the Badshah is in a merciful mood.

To: Egypt

We have no desire to wage war against the Muslims. We only want the Indians to stop their aggression against our Ming allies. If they do stop their attack against the Ming, we shall not pursue the matter any further, like we did not pursue the Transylvania issue with Poland.

 

[Double A]

Why is Ailed still supporting Robert after he said he wouldn't be Mosher's client?

 

[Robert Can't]

That decision has not been yet made.

 

[Double A]

It would take a ridiculous number of turns and a huge ship chain for christos to actually get to you, unless he takes land in Africa, which poses a whole different set of logistical problems.

 

[christos200]

Or, I can simply finance the Ming.

 

[Double A]

Or he can do that.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I am not the Badshah's client: we are partners.

We have to act as one on this matter. Hence the wait.

Which is why this merger was and is ridiculous.

 

[Ailedhoo]

Which is why this merger was and is ridiculous.

What was done is done and separation will risk too much. We can still make this work.

 

[Double A]

It might've been a good idea if you were in the same time zone. Or if you were clones.

What if LH and Nuke ran the same nation?

Don't even suggest it AA. If they could end up working together they might just be the deadliest nation in IOT history....but it would be far more likely a disagreement would spark another family feud.
