Hi there,

is there any limitations on tech when playing a minor muslim state such as morocco, iraq, oman or persia?

cheers
 
Persia isn't exactly minor ;)

But anyway, I'm playing there right now and tech goes just the same as in Europe, just slower (moslem tech group and all).

Try it, great fun down there.
 
I want to storm through Europe and convert the infidels and declare a Jihad (kind of like the crusades, but the other way around) :D
 
I am doing this right now. Makes a difference from European warfare and colonisation. Very limited diplomatic options though as there's only one other shia country. No troubles with declaring war though, CBs all around :D Persia also has a very good COT and big starting army. Though stay clear of the Ottomans early on as they're stronger at the start. I currently have a badboy of 31 in 1518 but the Jihad is going nicely :D
 
so any luck converting the sunnis infidels as well?

took back Grenada did you? How about Poitou, did you get pass Poitou and took Ile de France?

hehehe. Kind of puts me in a Frank Herbert's Dune mode. Maybe I'll call myself Muad'Dib or something? ;)
 
Quite fun to convert Mekkah to Shia :D But direction wise I seem to be heading Russia bound instead of Spain as my allies, the Mamalukes are obsctructing the way msotly to that part of the world. Also will bash some Mughal but later on :D
 
Shit, the next general comes round in 60 years. I guess India will have to wait quite a bit :D Ah well, plenty to do. Get into Siberia, control the Black Sea Coast, try and vassalize the Mamelukes, actually build up the economy, get the Ottomans out of Asia :D
