(RFC) The Ottoman Empire

[Duke of Britain]

but HRE makes it impossible for a early Germany, plus, HRE most important country was Austria (after they inherited Bohemia) anyway. oh, if you want to think so, the HRE was Germany, just couldn't destroy feudalism like France and England, ending up in that bunch of states.

and DoC is the best modmod in pretty much every way, maybe not in number of civs, but that isn't a problem when you have the best civs already in it

 

[mayor]

I get the idea I really should try out DoC

 

[Icaria909]

DoC sounds awesome, but little about either RFC or DoC is really historical. I particularly enjoy regular RFC because I know all the ins and outs of the scenario and I don't know how good I would be on DoC. O well, maybe I'll try DoC sometime...

Three good things about DoC:
Plagues are less of a #@!!*
More historical (e.g. Germans don't start in Berlin)
Italians (when they don't make the game crash)

 

[Moshe Dayan]

wait, did you start the "why didn't the Ottomans colonize the New World?" thread
cuz i was there!

Lol no. Where was this? Link?

Also DOC is pretty boss, except the new color for China is fugly.

Not mine but it is a quite widely reported problem.

The Ottomans are a rising power in the world. But, so far they only have a toe hold in Europe and a large Arabian presence in the South threatens recent gains there. The Ottomans must secure their borders before they declare war on anyone.

In 1320, the Ottomans settle the city of Baghdad in the Middle East.

Spoiler :

On the other side of the Empire in the Balkans, Durac is founded in Albania to push back the borders of Germany. I'm sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of this event.

Now that the Ottomans borders are more secure on both sides of the Bosphorus, Ottoman forces collect near the Arabian border. In 1390, Ottoman forces make use of their superior cannons and the city of Kudus (Jerusalem) falls.

In the same year, the Ottomans establish an outpost on the Black Sea by settling the Kefe.

Spoiler :

Taking stock of the Empire, Mehmed decided to make a map of the Empire:

Spoiler :

For tomorrow's chapter: The Ottomans push South!

 

[Civ'ed]

Ah... Kaffa, my most favorite EUIII province...
And you founded it! Thank you!

 

[Duke of Britain]

Makes me remember so many EUIII Byzantium games...

I must follow this.

Because you always come online whenever everything is finished already

A story about one of my favourite civ \o/
Make a huge empire ! From India to Spain and take Austria. (The last time I did it I collapse )

Three good things about DoC:

More historical (e.g. Germans don't start in Berlin)
Italians (when they don't make the game crash)

So that's why some of my games crash and can't continue them.

 

[ilduce349]

I like Plauges.
but I agree with the other two points.

 

[Red_Spy]

Capture Moscow!

 

[inohotep]

No, the New World is yours! (i was in a thread about it)

 

[Duke of Britain]

new world sucks, conquer Europe
