The Democratic Caliphate.

[ales_]

Great story!

 

[Sanguivorant]

Thanks =).

I want to organize my thread so that I can have a chapter for every story.

I have seen people make links to only a specific post in a thread. How do I do this?

 

[TheNoob]

If you look to the top-right of a post, there is the post number. If you click it, it takes you to the single post only. Copy the link and then do what you want with it.

 

[adhiraj.bose]

I read through that post while listening to this music
Link to video. .. well the version that's in RFCE anyway .

 

[Spirictum]

Great Story Sanguiv! This Democratic Caliphate is becoming more and more interesting!

And I can't wait to see the next update. I think many here will be shocked by our cooperative management of the Caliphate.

 

[Sanguivorant]

I have updated the first post to include hyperlinks for all the chapters in chronological order.

If there was a part that you liked, you can now easily navigate to it.

1126 A.D.

This Map is still waiting for the Caliph's approval, but at least it's a good depiction of our current political borders for you readers of this great story to enjoy:

 

[Sanguivorant]

I approve.
The council of 1126 ad will conclude soon, so Council members should be sure that they agree with the stated policies

Hello all; having feverishly read the past 20 pages I would like to participate in the governance of our Caliphate! I would like a minor position with not-much responsibility pl0x
I am wondering, exactly what mod is depicted here? I have played whichever version of Rhy's and Fall comes with Beyond the Sword, but never this one.

@Lexicus: Would you like to have a position as our Minister of foreign affairs?

That is a position that could be filled as of now.

 

[Lexicus]

Sure! As I say, I haven't played this mod before so I don't want too much responsibility What does the foreign minister do?

And thank you ales_ for linking here, I'm going to start up a game on that mod as soon as I get home from work!

@Lexicus

It's ok to not know the mod, I don't know it as well (I played like 3 times in a span of 2 years I think).

Everything you don't know you may ask there (that's what I do).

@Lexicus:

Basically, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the diplomatic and trade relations the Ummah has with other civs.

For now, it is a relatively easy task to do, since there are only like five civilizations we have direct contact to, which means that there is less effort required in this job.

I have sent you an invitation. If you would like, I can make your the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

 

[Lexicus]

I've joined the group, and accept the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs!

 

[baseballpie]

Are there any more positions up for grabs?

 

[Spirictum]

Are there any more positions up for grabs?

Not that we have already created, but there is still some roles that could have a counselor.

We are expecting to incorporate Persia on this term (if they become weak enough), if not I think it won't pass next one (btw terms are 20-turns long).

Adhiraj already has stated he wants to take the responsibility of Persia, so Iraq will probably become empty.

Ethiopia has at least 7 cities, so it must generate at least one new position on the council. But Ethiopia's incorporation may take longer then Persia.

Also there isn't a Stability Advisor. This is something interesting we could use.

 

[DKVM]

What would a Stability Adviser do that proposals and debates couldn't already do?

 

[adhiraj.bose]

The question of the Mongols is still unanswered. Do they auto invade the Arabs in the game ? In one very strange Babylonian game the Mongols got stacks in my territory, but never declared war or attacked me. They just moved around .
