After your vodka night, I decided to play this out and what a thriller it was
It all ended in 1615AD with this message
What happend before? I shipped over some armies and arty. In 1605AD I declared war on Arabs and attacking one city, triggered war with everyone.
Quickly took out the Egyptian cities overseas which netted us 2 more tank armies. I then started to take out cities and dig in. No chance to really openly fight MI and MA.
In 1610AD, I realized, we could finish this be following a trail of death. Planted a city Umtata 3 to get to Uskudar. Artillery and tanks/tank army took that. Continued to 1 Arab and 2 pop heavy Egyptian cities (one pop 25 the other pop 15). Virtually fought with the last tank available to take out the last city. Then abandoned all but one staying above the pop limit
The trail of death
I feared however, that a big Ottoman stack consiting of sipahi, MI and ToW would attack our cities. Almost upgraded every single avalaible unit including archers. This was possible with the money gained from razing 2 Ottoman towns. During the last IT, the AI was stupid enough to go after Uskudar never reaching it
