The Holy City of Islam has started attracting... Confucians?View attachment 735536

Al-Ghazali will never recover from this corruption of Islam by Chinese philosophy.

Mexico? Nah not enough. We want MORexico. 1530AD for the curious.
.

P.S. Moors collapsed three turns later. That was fun.

Finally got to witness a "proper" Hispaniola.

This is some EUIV Ottoman shite on display here. Yes they're at war with Spain.

Seriously, Poland? Think that's getting you to the moon?

Seriously though, how about requiring a Colony or something?

Like the trading company, that does make sense.

Don't know if this is a bug (probably) and I somehow never got in contact with them for thousands of years, but somehow Harappa never collapsed??

Wow. How they survive Kushans?

 

[Kott]

A lucky respawn?

I don't think so, looking through my saves it seems they just never disappeared.

It seems they got along (I think they never got at war and then the Kushans collapsed)

 

[Dracosolon]

Those Kushans were kushovers

 

[AOS9001]

I’ve noticed the Kushans are usually either do nothings or a superpower with little in between. The Spain of the East, if you would.

Spoiler :

Burma controlling most of SEA and going on the conquer the Mughals.

 

[AOS9001]

Wow, that's pretty close to the actual Toungoo Empire's time period.

Not only did the Ottos take Southern Italy, they did it with a series of amphibious operations. Not sure I've ever seen anything like this.

I'm always so happy to see the AI successfully pull off an amphibious invasion. It looks like they brought a decent stack!

Yeah and I'd like to emphasize it was a deliberate, sustained, multi-turn operation. Up to now I've only witnessed (and rarely) no more than erratic one-off expeditions. My favorite stunt was when England discovered Nan Madol in probably the 1400s and forthwith sent a solder-laden Galleon Bee-ass-lining straight at it. The more routine occurrence is for either England, Neds, or France to send, again, a single ship to the Yucatan after Aztec collapse if cities are still native. I'm excited to see what might happen in later phases of the game as I'm only just running a first autoplay.

Was this actually using transports? No unit spawns?

(I guess it's telling that I expect a bug before I expect successful amphibious attacks.)

This question did occur to me indeed and I might have made an unjustified deduction, which was simply "I saw Cogs nearby". Also it *isn't* my understanding that they *would* get unit spawns here in the first place. Would this presumption be mistaken?
