The Democratic Caliphate.

Well I will still like to rule Iran when (and if) we get it. but if new players don't come, then I'm ok in take up responsibility for Ethiopia.

 

[Spirictum]

Or maybe there could have some claims, like Al-Zanj getting some cities, while me and/or VGL getting some too and also a new province with some of the cities.

We should discuss this on the group.

And what about mrrandomplayer, did he give some news about his position in the council?

@Noob

On burning, I would like to see the Stability guide. It's better to manage a bunch of poor cities then to permanently strike our stability by removing the bad positioned ones.

 

[TheNoob]

I only suggested it so that I could have at least one or two productive cities if I owned Ethiopia.

Exactly! That's why we should check the stability guide, because if the penalty is not permanent, then it's ok to burn cities while our stability is good. But if it's permanent, I would strongly advise to not burn them.

We are not ISIS guys. I am very reluctant to raze cities; there must be a perfectly sound argument to do so.

Heads up, the Ummah report will be released soon.

 

[jackelgull]

It is a matter of expedience for the state. And remember that this is a game. Burning cities in DoC =/= ISIS. That said, if it still bothers you, then think of it as eminent domain, and imagine that the Caliphate is paying for their expulsion. It is your game, you can do as you wish.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Well are we more interested in roleplaying or metagaming?

 

[DKVM]

What's ISIS?

 

[Spirictum]

What's ISIS?

I would like to know that too

 

[baseballpie]

I *might* be interested?

EDIT: ISIS

 

[Sanguivorant]

I don't really know actually. I mean we have razed or Ethiopian city that seceded to us before. I guess we will have to see how it goes.

 

[TheNoob]

If we don't want to raze that's fine. More micromanaging for me

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I would like to know that too

Have you two been living under a rock the past few months?

 

[DKVM]

Yep and Spirictum is my best friend who is a talking yellow sponge that lives in a pineapple.

But seriously, I had heard of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant; just not the abbreviation ISIS.

 

[Sanguivorant]

Just know that they are al-Qaeda round 2.

 

[GreekAnalyzer]

Just know that they are al-Qaeda round 2.

Except they own territory. And our president finally got around to dealing with the religious genocide of Yazidis and Christians even though we've known this for weeks now
No I'm not upset about this at all.

 

[Sanguivorant]

You know how in some games as you progress through the rounds the difficulty increases? That's kinda what it looks like.

 

[Spirictum]

I *might* be interested?

EDIT: ISIS

We are truly needing more people. Mrrandomplayer is missing and we have no news about his return or not. Ethiopia is going to be conquered soon and Persia too.

And Ethiopia has 7 cities, so it must be divided between more then 1 person IMO.

And I would advise more people to join us. Things will get difficult in the next century.

 

[Spirictum]

I have great news to all, but mostly to DKVM as Al-Anadol.

Constantinople has:

1 Great Prophet;
1 Great Scientist;
1 Great General;
1 Borobudur (+1 from priests in all cities, +3 Priest Slots in this city).

This is surely the reason we are the Most Productive Nation in the World. Our priests now are a lot stronger to the local production organization. Also, we are a Theocracy, so our Priest capacity is doubled. Those are great news to the Caliphate!

 

[DKVM]

Holy guacamole!
