Guns of Our Forefathers³: Reborn (OOC/Worldbuilding)

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

A war in Georgia would sever the Silk Road.

Parts of it, yes. But a war with Persia would also sever it, from a Mughal perspective, and naval routes would still operate if a conflict in Georgia manifested. Basically, barring extensive Persian victories that would destabilize the region, I can't see a use for the Mughal hosts in Persia.

Just keep em busy

I was going to have two or more no matter what. Now I am stronkier.

True, but I wasn't that motivted to attack before because I knew the Persians wouldn't care much about it.

Now, the Persians will desperately want their land back, any Ottoman faction will want to expand, and I can gobble everything north of Armenia.

You hit it on the head. Cyrus the Great is turning in his grave

Grand Persian-Russian Alliance? Has a nice ring to it.

Why didn't my app on page 12 get approved yet? Or did it? Someone please telegram me because I don't get my position in this forum.

It's probably accepted:

Shit I accidentally took a 5 hour nap.

Apps that are without conflict are accepted.

Persia will keep the Silk Road open, don't you worry your little Mughal head

Kabobs.

Mind you, I'm certain there are Mughal sons looking for lands to call their own. With enough gold you could probably get some family officers to raise micro-armies and raid eastern Persia.

How are my claims conflicting?

He did, like with Hungary and Genoese territories. That and his claims are way too big.

[Bujahla]

How are my claims conflicting?

You conflict with something like 6 people.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

How are my claims conflicting?

With Egypt's player, me, Ethiopia, and the Austrian Player.

I'm a bit confused. Is there a reason why I couldn't keep the Silk Road going after the war?

It'd be the war itself that would have repercussions. Especially since the heaviest fighting would be along it.

[New Abrahammia]

My entire history is fact. I did extensive research on Wikipedia to make that. They can't be too bad. And I don't know how to edit maps.

Good Jew.

I invest shekel and collect collateral when bankrupt

It's alternate history, though?

This is alternative history. History since 1300 AD is not as it was IRL

Indeed it would :/

Well G-Tech, I leave the decision on your Mughal shoulders. But it seems like a Russian-Persian alliance may be forthcoming. I certainly shall do what I can to ease the passage of goods during the war, if possible.

Yeah, well this is an alt-history, meaning that things were different after 1300. Your history and map claims conflict with several of us, and I can only speak for myself in this regard, but I'm not negotiating any territorial changes.

We have a Russia?

Oh no, don't mistake me. On an OOC and IC level, the Mughal Ilkhanate bears no ill will towards Persia. I'm simply aware that the government is not the sole purveyor of force in Mughal society, and private citizens are fully capable of such actions; to prevent that due to OOC reasons would be to metagame.

[New Abrahammia]

I see. My land must be significantly smaller than it should be? Is there a way to untag this?

Good point.

So I've got a no full-scale war garuntee then? I can live with that.

Certainly; given what I see as the outcome of any action against Georgia by Persia and the World State, the Khan-Emperor would see no benefit to intervention. I'm simply stating that if Georgia sent a call for mercenaries east, they wouldn't get no recruits simply because my government has no desire for conflict.
