Talk:A Bad Past (Map Game)/@comment-26044830-20170430235108

Shi'ite Caliphate | Persia
 * Government: Our caliph finds out these Arabs and other people can't be trusted just yet, instead they decide to accelerate assimilation rates in Azerbaijan and Iraq (they also serve the purpose to block all supply), issue a 200,000 soldier draft for 10 years and quickly install printing factories in our core region throughout Iran to increase morale. The caliph is also expecting to modernise the country and introduce the mainstream Airship (though exclusive to military only) after the Lebanese War.
 * Modernism/Technocratic Movement
 * Printing Press: As printing press has being quickly installed faster than expected, it is done. The caliph's Quran can spread across easily in Persia, along with propaganda to be aware "of the odd ones" (the dissidents and backstabbers). It also reduces the time to produce propaganda across the main country itself. However it will also be expanded.
 * Greek Fire/The Burning Fire (this year): We decide to rush it instead of testing it ourselves, we can launch attacks on the fleet in Persian Gulf. The result is a success and the Greek fire itself is done, but the controlled ability remains an issue for alchemists alike.
 * The Liquid (~2026): We heard rumours of this liquid and explroers start finding it.
 * Colonial Prospects: Prepare for colonisation...
 * Experimental Airship/Hot Air Balloon thing (~2030s): You know what da Vinci wanted. The engineers finally unearthed the old archives spread across the known world for a while and old plans and some sort of airship concepts were seen but mainly they are not of da Vinci work but passed down by people over the generations. however these are very expensive to create and seems to be a far-fetched dream but the hot air balloon oh yes...
 * New Deal: Continue.
 * Arabian Assimilation Project: Continue but due to printing press and increased forces in the Arab-majority regions, the rate will be reduced to 7 years (of 8 years).
 * Expeditions
 * The Eastern Voyage (sent since 2021): Our explorers finally reach Sentinel island (the Andaman Islands owned by the Bengal Empire) and discover a group of natives we dub it as the Sentinelese People. We also went to ports of India - but the translation given will be done by next year (so the fog will be lifted in India slowly for Persians overall) but the Sentinelese language does not have a script and we have to translate it because its something we want to try. They left the Andaman Islands by the end of the year to return to give ifnormation about India (however they are unaware of the Lebanese War)
 * The Southeast Voyage (next year?): We want to explore the southeast as well, especially a rumoured continent. This will take three years to four years to reach there.
 * Maldives Expedition (planned by 2025-7): The Eastern Voyage will return information about the Maldives and we intend to colonise after the Lebanese War. The Maldives would be a landing shot for India and the rumoured continent.
 * Vassals
 * Bukhara: Continue... We also exploit their steppe technology and tactic to adapt our soldiers in the Steppe region to attack the Khanates easily in Eastern Kazakhstan
 * Urdestan: Agricultural projects are successful but we have to mind to not become very dependent on them, no... However the yields have not drasically increased and they want to expect yields to double by 2026. The project is also adapted to our Mesopotamian grounds.
 * ((Qazaq/Kazakhstan))
 * Military: ~320,000 soldiers and the same characteristics only that tactics have drastically changed.
 * Espionage: We continue to exponentially expand the espionage system and suppress nationalist/separatist factions
 * Supply route for the Azeri and Arabs: We want to miminise their numbers and possibilites of gaining supplies, especially Lebanon. Despite their claims of no casus belli, the Persians aim to hinder their supply to only a half of it throughout the year by raids. They are only in disguise as bandits that don't really negotiate a lot, loyalty tests are passed.
 * State of Emergency: Secret Police: Since the Lebanese War had began, the Caliph has established the Secret Police division to root corrupt and rebellious people in Arabia, Iraq, Persia and Azerbaijan.
 * Conflicts
 * LEBANESE WAR (no I don't care about manto switching to romania, i just want to get rid of them)
 * Armies in Lebanon: Despite our numbers called upon by Lebanon as mercenaries, the rest of the mercenaries are actually a submersion in Lebanon, the 30,000 of our mercenaries died but the 30,000 who are not mercenaries but well trained troops expand their supply system in an indirect way such as espionage movements to constantly get resources (food), the conscript troops focusing on Syria will also come along. We are also aware of the French army arriving here but we narrowly avoid them but attempt to confuse them by leaving trails and go circles around northern Jordan (putting rumours) before piercing their army.
 * Arabian Front (Bahrain): We used prototypes of Greek fire and ram the ships defending Bahrain and Qatar as a way to research but tear their fleet in the Persian Gulf. It is successful partially and their fleet has disintegrated virtually, the foreign expedition does not expect a landing from the Persian Gulf, with a 80,000 conscripted army being sent to take over northern Qatar and Bahrain. Armies from Oman move from Muscat to finish off the expedition, plus with the 80,000 army
 * Levantine and Iraqi Front: Over 60,000 soldiers from the conscripted army is sent to take over Raqqa and Homs. However they avoid narrowly on the main army and used cannons to take down cities and army one by one, using the best ones devoted to take over Lebanon. They don't focus on Jordan, let alone trying to take land and then counter strike them and piercing the French army first
 * State of Emergency
 * Oman: Oh for god's sake you're now dead after two years perhaps of conflict.... Well I gotta take Arabia for a good reason, to unify Islam. *annexed*
 * Yemen: You're next pronto. But you'll be spared but we'll just raise our presence by colonising Rub al-Khali and colonising south just to see if you want to alert others.
 * Kazakh War: Continue the same thing but less priorities and more steppe adaptations. (I've conquered Kazakhstan for three turns ago and its still independent? wow)
 * Economy: With every person must know how to smite or do any notorious tasks slowly, our industry starts growing. War weariness in the Middle East with Lebanon however affects merchants locally.
 * Diplomacy
 * Lebanon: they're both mercenaries and our finest soldiers (so its a mix), you're blind to see that not all of our armies are mercenaries
 * Jerusalem: i really don't care about you honestly, just give up lebanon and colonies to us and you won't be harmed or i'll make you so. i don't care if you refuse it but if you refuse then I will return one day just to annoy the heck out of you (insult casus belli)
 * Sentinelese people: We start translating.
