[BTS] [RFC/DoC] Turks! The Scourge of the East!
- Thread starter Gruekiller
- Start date
It might not go on much longer, sadly. This was on DoC's 1.7.3 version, and since it's on 1.8 now, the save probably is no longer compatible. I still have enough screenshots for a couple more updates, then I might continue it with text-only updates. Or maybe I'll just focus on BTK more. xP

The most Epic.
1.7.3? 1.8? Are you sure you're not confusing the DoC updates with Minecraft?

I've noticed the similarities before, but it's true. xP

I am in AWE, Gruekiller, you never lose your edge!
Well, gosh! Thanks!
The Turks wasted little time upon finishing their conquest of Mexico. It did not take terribly long for the invaders to catch their first whiff of Mesoamerican gold. War parties branched out north, east to the Caribbean, and south, towards the Isthmus, ranging as far as they could in search of more commercial and mineral wealth. Jewels, spices, and soft wool were plundered from small maritime trading villages along the Pacific coast of the northern continent.
When pressed for the point of origination of these rich goods, the terrified locals pointed south.
At the time, Tawantinsuyu, the realm of the Inka, was the largest nation in the Americas, sprawling from the Equator to the misty vales of the Chilean Andes. The Inka could boast of their terraced farms, their complex masonry, and their planned cities, greatest in the hemisphere.
All the same, it must have come as a great shock when the Turks arrived in their northern hinterland.
Claiming nineteen chests of gold ducats from the conquest of Ecuador, Mehmet's Ottomans hurried along the coast, driven by the scent of gold, and pushed the disorganized forces of the Inka emperor aside in their path. The technologically inferior Inka could do little in the face of the invaders, and one by one, their cities fell under Turkish domination.
Even the mountain citadel of Cuzco could not avoid its fate. The soltan himself led the final charge on the city high in the Andes, and, according to legend, slayed the Emperor himself in man-to-man combat. While this is most certainly fiction, the conquest of the Inka heartland was very real, a fact not gone unnoticed by those elements of Inka society adverse to the previous rule.
By the time that the Turks reached the parched Atacama, thousands of members of rival tribes, criminals, mercenaries, and opportunistic natives had joined the Turks in their war against the Inka.
At last, resistance was shattered completely, forfeit the only option for what loyalist forces remained. Tawantinsuyu had been added to the growing dominion of the Ottomans in the Americas. Mehmet lived just long enough to see his greatest conquest completed - it would not be his empire's last.

Ah! very good!
Thankfully, no. I've just been busy. The story is, however, almost over. The final update is coming later or tomorrow, and it will concern the world that Mehmet, conqueror of the Americas, left behind.

I always think the Inca are better to vassal.
Tomorrow's Dawn
Heroes Never Die
The game's probably already done, but I hope you settled the American Trinity.
It ended soon after the Inca conquest, yes.
Mehmet's New Empire
The settled peoples of Mesoamerica and the Andes thus humbled, Mehmet, the Turkish emperor, soon died, a victim of his own uncleanliness. The brief unrest following the soltan's demise died down soon enough, not least because of the efforts of Turkish military forces to quell the clamor amongst the populace. Though the standard plundering and raiding continued for some years, the Turks found themselves in a poor position to expand anywhere but where they now found themselves.
Prudently, they stopped plundering the land they stood upon, and began to set up a true society. The natives were confused by the sudden change of heart of their occupiers, but, needless to say, did not complain.
Though initially in poor economic straits due to the poor condition of the land (gee, I wonder who was responsible for that), it did not take long for the new nation to recover. Priceless spices, gold, and alpaca wool all found grudging buyers in the newer states of Eurasia, whose wariness of the people who laid waste to their countries was outweighed by their taste for exotic goods. European livestock and grapes were found to thrive in certain parts of the new empire as well.
And so that empire expanded, slower than in the past, but it expanded all the same. The small polities of the Amazon fell under the sway of their newest neighbor, falling in one way or another over the following century. Settlers moved north and south and east, covering great swathes of the continent. By the time that the Europeans, stunted by the lasting desolation of post-Turkish Europe, finally arrived in the Americas at the beginning of the 18th Century, the Turks had created the greatest nation in the hemisphere, enough to make the petty colonies of Europe quake in fear.
The age of the Turkish Empire had begun.
