[Sassinia]

Anatolia's MINE!

please, you ain't nothing on me. Well, assuming I get what I want.

Zorat Persia fell under Islam.

[Mondrova]

Lets not spam and dickwave, guys. I've seen threads get closed over it.

Yeah, he's right, that's what the chatrooms for.

[The Union of Imperial Macedon]

Ah well, what places are left?

What part of this screams historical accuracy to you? In this history, my empire ruled Anatolia to Libya, divided, Iran is Zoroastrian, as are a lot of places, and in general, everything is different.

[Ceannairceach]

You could make an Outremer Christian state. I was tempted to do that.

Hmm... Is there any room left in Greece? Like around Greek Macedonia?

Not really, that's my expansion room.

Yeah, you could go there. It might lead to war, but what's a RP without a little bloodshed?

Well, you could expand eastward. Plus, wouldn't it be beneficial to have another nearby Christian state? From what I've seen, there's almost no one else in the Balkan region for possible alliances/trade or rivalry. Could make the game more interesting in that region.

Well, I'm heading that direction, keep that in mind.

STOP IT!

This is no time for this! We'll wait until the IC thread is up!

You cannot have half your pop in the military. You literally cannot. It's impossible. Active duty or not.

300,000 is almost 400,000, which is half of 800,000.

[The Union of Imperial Macedon]

Alright, I'll lower it.

Fix'd.

Alright, I'll lower it.

Ten percent max in peace time and even then your economy and peasantry are suffering.

What my current number is showing (150,000) is maximum size for my military, it will be much smaller otherwise, like 10,000. Is that alright?

Unique Units (Maximum 3):
Throwing axemen

Axemen make up a significant portion of Tusajleir's army. They are especially deadly when lined up in formation. They, like their name implies, throw their axes. They have one battle axe, which they weild with two hands, and they have a couple of smaller axes, in which they throw.
kaleic horse archers

As a staple of any nomadic nation, these horse archers are the embodiment of Tusajleir. They are the most respected in the tribe, and most feared in central asia. Coupled with The Lehta, they are most troublesome for the unprepared tribes of the steppes. They typically circle around the enemy and fire from all sides.
lehta light cavalry

They are bred specifically for traveling vast distances and raiding the many villages of the Asian steppes. They were light armour as there was no need when fighting the small tribes of the steppes. They wield a scimitar-type sword, indicting this fighting force has been in contact, or rather conflict, with Arabic tribes.
