Move sleeping units out towards Yemen and Makuria.
We have 18.35% land and need 25% for Domination.
Turn 1
Moving through former Makurian lands, we capture Dunqulah and Kuraymah. Declare War on Yemen.
Turn 2
Lose a boat to Yemeni attacks, although we take down one for the team first.
Turn 3
Lose trade contact with Delhi. Great Saint is born in Al-Qusur, settled in Al-Minya (Royal Mint). Capture Yemeni cities of Zabid and Zinjibar. Declare on Georgia and capture Siyazan and Ghishi. Declare on Bukhara also and move into Western Khorasan. Trade Barley to Portugal for Silver.
Turn 4
Capture ex-Makurian city of Merwah. Spread Sunni Islam in Samarra. Capture Sana'a. Yemen still won't capitulate though, even though only one city left.
Turn 5
Capture 2x Yemeni workers. Now they capitulate. Open borders with Yemen and liberate all Yemeni cities. They become Unstable.
Capture Farah and Zaranj from Rebels. Safavids would accept these cities if liberated, but I keep for ourselves. Spread Islam in Wasit. Capture Soba in Nubia. Found Koutum to block Safavids.
Turn 6
Capture Mashad and become Shahanshah.
Sign ceasefire with Georgia when I notice a stack of Georgian units outside our vassal Ak Koyunlu's nearby city. We need more siege units to do much more damage to Georgia anyway so a pause in this campaign for now is OK. Capture Bukharan capital of Urganj. They won't capitulate though. Spread Sunni Islam in Dunqulah.
Turn 7
City Planning is learnt. Rush Shalimar Gardens in our capital. Found Aydhab and Debarwa to fill up more of Africa. Spread Sunni Islam in Kuraymah and Qazvid, and we are back to Faithful again.
Capture Gwadar, could liberate to Yemen but that might hurt their already Unstable position so we keep. Currently at 22.3%, I drop science to 0% and push up culture as far as our treasury can handle (40%).
Turn 8
Shalimar Gardens are built. Trigger our Golden Age with 3x Great People. Still have a spare Great Engineer. Found "CityNameMissing" on the coast between Makkah and Yemen and liberate to Yemen. Still doesn't get a city name though.
Found Esfarayan in Western Khorasan. Capture Marv. Found Kashan, Berbent and Basrah also for the final land grab. We have 23.49% land at the moment, but many cities will pop cultural borders next turn (10+).
Turn 9
Domination Victory with 25.39% of land!
We didn't quite have time to take Aksum, although our Trebuchets were almost done reducing the city defences to the ground. And we didn't have time to sink any Portuguese ships either.
