Well, the dust has settled, and from the looks of it the Ethiopian Emperor has surrendered. Can't really blame the chap, the capital's nothing more than a rat's nest and the rest of the country is little better. They put up a brave and long struggle, but in the end, they had to surrender to the inevitable. With the Sublime State standing strong over Iran, Egypt, Greece and Arabia, they seem destinied to remain the Islamic power, unlike those conservative degenerates in Nejd*.

So from here in the autonomous province of Lubnan, what do my fellow posters from across the world think of this new change in power?

*Saudi Arabia analogue. here, they remained a bunch of desert tribes in vassalage to the Ottomans.
 
Aren't the Portuguese up in arms about this? Last I heard, João VIII had summoned the Cortes to allocate funds for a naval expedition to Adwa, citing the close ties shared between the two nations, but I have my doubts about their success... after all, the Farnese are pretty hot-headed.

The Ethiopians had it coming. Their support of the Mamluk insurgency was in clear violation of the previous treaties.

As for the Europeans, don't get any funny ideas. Any attack on the Sublime State will be met with a disproportionate level of force. You are warned.

Egyptian Nile region. I am in charge of the Janissary Command. Ten year veteran in the Padishah's service, yes sir!
 
Mashallah! 10 years. That is something.

Us chaps in the Sultan's Own Rifles have only served for several years and seen minimal action except for the war with Greece, where we captured Thessaloniki

That was it! Jeez, you regulars suck. No wonder they pulled us from Egypt for a few weeks to crush the Peloponnese.
