See above. Mansa Musa doesn't make his Hajj. He doesn't give away shitloads of gold to random people inflating the currency in the Middle East. That gold doesn't then make its way to Europe via the Italian city states. What next?

Played the CK2 mod as Robb. War started out really well, with me mopping up small bands of Lannisters here and there with my Riverlands forces and then eventually crushing Tywin's main force when I managed to trick him into attacking me head on over a river with 3 5k bands waiting as...

So, playing as Abysinnia. I have Ethiopian culture and a genius ruler. I've conquered all of Ethiopia and Egypt, Arabia, Jerusalem and most of Mesopotamia. The Mongols have just landed however and I'm not sure how I'm going to take them on, any advice?

No cheats, you'd have to mod it into the save file.

Some of the most fertile areas in the world being declared no mans land for one. Fix the attrition in Mali so that the muslims can't just steamroll through.

impossible to tell. The thing that would let us tell, (an accurate historical record); is completely absent from Africa.

OOC: It's been done IRL. Can't remember what the book is called though. IC: To get an industrial revolution in Europe, or rather, in what we culturally define as Europe, you have to butterfly away Al-Andalus. Don't forget, it was Al-Andalus that first discovered the Western Continent*; and...

Is there anyway to butterfly the Louisiana Purchase?

Please tell me that system will be enacted automatically when you form a new Empire. That would be awesome. Speaking of this game, I started a game up as Ulster, two generations and several hours later I rule Ireland, Scotland, and Galica; my son is duke of Deubarth and a friend is duke of...

Was just about to say this. Had the weather not effed the Spanish Armada in the A, Britain would look very different.

Ahhhh okay, my mistake. I thought we were at 1800 for some reason. Btw, the Bechuanaland protectorate wasn't established until 1885, it should still happen since the butterflies haven't really touched SA yet though.
