[SoI] The "OMG, look what happened in SoI!" -thread

[alpav]

Played on Sultan level.

 

[Bluebags]

They don't. The Turk renamed Byzantines to Romans in his SoI Plus modmod, and that's where the screenshots come from.

Ah, I guess Khanate of Khiva comes from there as well? Or is that actually a case of me not playing diversely enough?

Nope, only the Byzantines were renamed IIRC.

Khanate of Khiva is one of the four possible names for the Uzbeks (respawned Khwarezmids). The other three names are Shaybanid Empire, Khanate of Bukhara and Khanate of Kokand, depending on the capital/extent Bukhara is most common though.

Seljuks capture Domyat and collapse Ayyubids:

Or maybe the Crusaders collapsed the Ayyubids and the Seljuks seized the opportunity to capture a weakly defended city?

Also: Seljuk Syria:

 

[Jusos2108]

It is almost a shame to flip Domyat from the Seljuks..


The Khwarezmian Shahdom:

The Paramara Empire, they have Gujarat too..

Errr... I don't see anything unusual in that screenshot. What is it?

 

[Dumanios]

The Romans are killing the Latins.

 

[SouthernKing]

Revenge for 1204...71 years early?

 

[rrosen]

Is the issue that it says Romans killing Latins? They are not called Romans in the official version.

They don't. The Turk renamed Byzantines to Romans in his SoI Plus modmod, and that's where the screenshots come from.

The massacre took place previous to 1204: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Latins

 

[embryodead]

Roman citizens i.e. inhabitants of Byzantine Empire, and Latins is what they called Catholics, esp. Italians. It's a historical event, but I will reword the sentence if it's confusing.

As for the order of events, yeah, the massacre happened before the 4th crusade, and is considered as one of the reasons the crusade went the way it went.

You really need Christianity in Khoy It is size 5 already and still less than 10

Imamate of Iraq

 

[Leoreth]

Wow, I've often seen Yemen taking an odd interest in Iraq but they've never made it that far in my games.

Hey, nice, you actually made me realize why is this happening (Influence Driven War). Will find a way around it.

 

[Sian]

and another one ... while initially same style as the previous one thats not why its funny

the Rebel boat didn't flip together with the city which i abandoned and is now beached

 

[Jusos2108]

Both of them survived the Mongols, although they got badly beaten.

 

[The Turk]

I've noticed that it seems that the Mongols have been nerfed, as I see the Seljuks, Sultanate of Rum (less though) and more surprisingly the Khwarezmids being able to with stand the Mongol Horde. Edead did you change anything? Because it sucks to see that they are living much longer than they should, with only a small scratch coming from the Mongols, who in my few games, have only taken 1-2 cities from them

 

[Sian]

in my most recent game (Seljuks) the Mongols whiped out Khwarezmids like it was nothing, and Georgia only survived because i had an army of heavy Horse archers there, that had only just beaten them into submissiveness ... and i still managed to lose a good handfull of cities before i managed to turn the tide by shuffling my Heavy Horse Archers the right places, now defending each city in danger with 8-10 HHA's, half of them born with 3 promos (Barraks, Stable, Theocracy, Settled GG, and whatever the wonder that gives +1 is) which goes into Combat I+II and Skirmish
