Sejong?

Don't you mean Songhai?
I had a Greek Empire, and had most of Eastern Europe in my rule (I used the Real Name Earth mod, and it puts all the correct locations for every nation). I then went to war with the Ottoman's to reclaim a few of my cities, I ended up loosing a few cities, as they razed them, but I eventually conquered them. I haven't played recently though.

Close my eyes and disappear

[...]

Nothing gonna wake you now

Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
