I don't know about the Brits. My main objection is that they wouldn't have enough time to reinforce their land forces on Cyprus before the crap really hit the fan. Provided of course that the Turks would still decide to push on with the operation despite the prospect of getting involved in a war...

Where'd you find this guy? Sephardic and Jewish? Are you running a mod or something. I've been searching up and down the map to no avail. I finally gave up thinking Jews just aren't there. Heck, I don't think I ever spotted Judaism on the religions ledger. Are they in Khazaria, like in CK 1?

To some extent we'd have to agree on that one. It was clearly the Greek Cypriot side which gave the Turks all the pre-text they ever needed to invade, when the Coupists decided to renege on a treaty that they themselves( well not them per se, but the Republic of Cyprus) had signed. And to be...

Great way to start a new day, eh? :p

I sincerely have no idea! Though if that is so the word probably followed the usual path of such loanwords(Greek>Latin>Everything-in-Between>English)...so you can probably trace back its origin, I'll look it up now that you mentioned it!

A little update on the current Finland game. The Empire of Finland ca. 1367. I've blobbed all over the place, probably thanks to my policy concerning family marriages. The current Emperor Karl finally sucked up to the Pope adequately that he was allowed to invade Norway/England in the name...

Btw, your username as it is, if transliterated to Greek script, is archaic Greek for hair or even hairdo(pronounced kohmee)... Only refers to the hair attached to a person's head while it is still attached though...there's another word for bodily growth or even facial growth and for hair that...

What Komitas? You know that's like medieval Greek for Count! The common people will have a field day with the little guy if he makes Basileus! The joking will be unbearable...

Actually you're right that I'm wrong. While I initially thought that Heraklios didn't register as the second of his name because Heraklios=/=Heraclius, the original Heraclius is missing from the database altogether as well...

There were muslim merchants residing in the Portuguese kingdom, as i said above, they were in control of most of the Portuguese trade with the North African coast. A direct analogy seems to be the Ottoman Christian merchanrts in the Balkans. Most of them controlling Ottoman trade with the...

Please do elaborate if you don't mind. Portugal, even if as you said Muslims were not accepted as Muslim per se, seemed to to fit the description of a semi-tolerant state. But I have no idea about Poland. I guess it has something to do with tolerance towards the Pagans in Prussia?

Oh! Now I got it! You villain, you! How can you suggest such a horrid thing??? :mad: Alright, now that I've had my obligatory nationalist tantrum, I can admit that indeed it was not Greek military prowess that got us Salonica but Greek celebrated slyness...:p Yes, indeed the Bulgarians could...

You could say that the state that most resembled the OE on the European side most probably was Reconquista Portugal. And I say "most probably" because the other Iberian Christian kingdoms might be much of the same but I don't really have any certified info on them, so I can't really say...and...

Oh, well, truth be told, if it was a matter of saving all those people maybe Salonica should have passed to the Bulgarians! We would have gotten it back in the post-war re-distribution of lands anyway...;) And it wouldn't even have to be granted to Bulgaria. OTL the Bulgarian occupation zone...

We're drifting a bit off-topic but yeah...it's an interesting point you make nonetheless... What made it really interesting was that it was already a layered established society within not only Salonica but Northern Greece in general. Though of course many of the local owners of businesses and...

Actually one of the worst recorded atrocities carried out by the Greek forces in Morea during the Revolution was the massacre of Tripolitsa(modern day Tripolis in the Pelopponese). It took place when Greek revolutionary fighters broke through the fortifications and managed to swamp the inner...

I had and am still having one of the most amazing games yet! Since this thing hit the shelves and I purchased it, I've been building glorioys dynastic houses. Tip: It helps to be unemployed! So here goes a small review of the house of Guoladat. The tribe of Lappish pagans that came to rule...

Flatten the layers. Hit Layers>Flatten Image and try saving again. I'll do new layers anyway. EDIT: Oi! You said it's 2k by 2k pixels? Scale it down dude! Why would you need it so huge for a school project? Also what is the resolution of the thing? Are you presenting said project on screen or...

Give me a link or something where I can download this^^ in full size and tell me how smaller you want it I'll probably be able to pull this off for you in a jiffy.

The kingdom of Rus is usually a very scary AI to have around if it ever manages to form...especially when you see them having obliterated Cumans & Co and slowly crawling their way to the Gulf by 1330 you know to stay out of their way and be afraid...
