Ok, you are the Uzbeks(sunni).

You attack Persia and in a hard fought (almost) 20year campaign you control all the persian provinces (because they would not give you the three territories you kept asking for,.... bastages! ;) Your current badboy =6, next you press the mil-annex button.

Questions:

1)For 50ducets, what is your badboy after mil-annexing? (they have...err had) 20 provinces.

2)the next highest badboy is 12 (Turkey), 8 Spain, couple 6's ENG, and someone else. Mameluks have already been assimilated.

For 100ducets, what is the likely response of the AI during the next few years? What if anything can be done about it?

Answer to question One will be posted tomorrow. The others will take longer to find out, as the game is saved.

I'd say BB is 31.
 
and the winner is.....

Col. Hjarg with the correct answer of 31. WTG! woot! woot! woot!

and the answer to number 2 is was...DoW on me by turkey. Tried giving them 100+ducats cash per year, but they really wanted to DoW me. The cash delayed them a bit. After one war(3 years after annexing persia), the Uzbeks took lebanon and syria for peace. The problem was little Uzbeks were way over stretched with only about 20-25regiments to defend all of persia after the annex.

Damn, if I'd only seen this thread earlier I'd be 150D richer next game =(

:D

Obviously the way to stop this from happening would be to first push rel to Turkey up to 150+ and make shure to have a RM and preferably an allaince with them too =)

True, but it is always a matter of time and cost. In this game there was not enough cash available to conquer persia and pay homage to the turks in this short amount of time. Also, this war was started with the intention to nibble and take 3 provinces from them, not the whole country.

The uzbeks start with -200 relations with almost everyone. So in this game by 1515 the Uzbeks had mil-annex'ed the Sibir people by about 1495ish (which had 6 badboy left in 1515), and finally the persians (20territories + 5 BB for mil-annex) in 1515. They were busy as soon as they got their first diplomat and were able to declare war.

IMO, this highlights a problem with the starting armies of some non-euro nations. They were given too much military to start with (ex. the mughal empire has 300ish regiments). The uzbeks start with around 50regiments of cavalry, which they can not even afford to maintain given their country's small annual income.
