It is weird though... The term Mameluk itself implies a Turkic mercenary (alike Mameluks in other regions like India). I'm not sure how wikipedia concludes that there were (also) 'Circassian' (which doesn't even mean necessarily Georgian) slaves there... It is more likely that Georgians were involved in providing slaves rather than being slaves themselves - principle being the same as with slavetrade in Africa... One generally did not sell his own people as slaves. ;)

Georgian was used as I felt it was the best representation of the area. Whether or not the ruling class was actually from that area, I don't really know. It is likely that I based it on wikipedia, just as it is likely that wikipedia is wrong. :D

Perhaps it would be better to give them turkish culture. The important thing for me, however, was to give them something else than arabic, to prevent them from killing all their neighbours too easily and becoming a monster. Paradox did this by giving them shiite religion, but I felt my way was less of a stretch.

What happened actually to the eu3 version of AoI (as well as your forum)?

A HD failure nuked my progress on it. All of it. But eh, I have come to realise that EU3 really isn't a game for me anyway... so it's more likely to see a new version for EU2 than for EU3.

The forum got nuked, Slargos fucked it up somehow.
 
It doesnt work for me, the game crashes when I am starting a scenario because it "cannot locate events/flavour_dan" PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!! I HAVE TRIED EDITING THE EVENT FILE AND CHECKED FOR ERRORS IN THE FILE BUT I DONT FIND ANY!!!!!!!!

You haven't installed it properly then. Follow the instructions in the readme.
 
Ok I will try getting it right AGAIN and hope it works now!

edit: Ok great, I got it working.... didnt read the instructions very thoroughly. Just a thing Id like to point out, whilst testing the 1795 scenario I noticed that Naples dont have a flag and displays nothing in their controlled provinces and their shield on the diplomatic screen for example, doesnt show either!
Something that I did or you missed?

Take it easy... Sounds like you did a misspelling. In the events.txt in the DB folder, you got an entry for a file called flavour_dan, it should be called flavor_dan without an u.

Hehe, that was just an misspelling by me here on the forum. It was correctly spelled in the events folder :p But since I got it working anyway its not a problem anymore. It WAS named correctly in the file :)

It's something I did by mistake. You can easily fix it by deleting the line 'flagname = "two_sicilies"' from 1795_nap.inc.

Ok great it works now, but another thing is that when the random event
'Nobles request more priviligies' (I think that is the name, not 100% sure of it!!) occurs and if I pick 'Execute the traitors' (Stabhit and -1 aristocraty) the game crashes! You should check into this but perhaps it was a one time incident? Hope you can fix this or know about the problem.

I think that might have been a one time incident. Are you running at high speeds? EU2 has always been a bit more crashable when run at high speeds.

I haven't touched the particular event you mention at all, it's in AoI as Paradox made it for EU2...
 
Have to report a bug, while playing the Fantasia scenario I noticed that the Mamluk AI doesnt colonize, why is that? Something you edited in their file, or were they so goddamn unlucky and didnt succed with anything? :p

There is no fantasia scenario for AoI. If the one from vanilla EU2 shows up, you've made an error installing or moved it there yourself.
 
When i start the 1337 scenario it crashes straight away and i get a error msg

ERROR: (Country:Unexpected field)'date={line=17 file=aoi\scenarios\1337\1337_U35.inc


Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it please?

EU2 patch1.08 AOi 2.0 +2.5patch,install the unlimitid time mod...what else is there?

From the readme:

The Age of Imperialism is a mod for Europa Universalis 2 v.1.08 latest beta.

This means that the ordinary 1.08 patch will not work, and that you will need either the last beta patch made for 1.08 or the 1.09 patch (I recommend the latter).
