Is Rumite army made of calvary,or mostly from infrantry? becouse if they are mongol-style army,Dawid could not safe country from desolation,but hold most cities. If they are mostly infrantry,then everything depend on one crucial battle - Rumite won,Trapezunt is finished,Rumite lost,Trapezunt is...

It seems,that Dawid instead of trying become Dawid the Great must think about remain Dawid not killed. P.S .in few fantasy books i read about slingers using grenades with devastating effect.Could Trabezuntian do the same ?

Great chapters. 1.i thought,that tuman have 10.500 soldiers,not 20.000. 2.Vahtang dying from syphilis ? how ? even if somebody discover Americas,there would be no time for people in Caucasus dying from that. 3.So,most of Caucasus people would be christian in this TL.logical. 4.Uzbeks would take...

100.000...all i could think is Grunwald battle/1410/ where both parties claimed that they fought 100.000 enemies. In realist - Teutonic order probably have 16-17.000 calvary,and polish-lithuanians - about 23.000. Still biggest calvary battle of medieval period. Back to topic - no matter who...

It look like China bureaucracy.They were still corrupted. Or "great" idea when british India Company decided to take people from Oxford,becouse they should not steal.Well,they still do that. But - great chapter.

Mamluks in Egypt before ottomans conqered them in OTL had their own caliph.Sultan considered caliph himself.So,with sultan dead,who is rightfull caliph now ?

Great chapter,like always. And author very well showed,how plans could fail - hungarian nobles started cyvil war to get puppet,but ended under ruler who strip them of most of their power anyway. Interesting - if Ottomans fall for good,then who would reclaim Constantinopole and mantle of...

Vizir should add Bulgars,too.Considering how low they fallen,they would be happy for anything.

One question - is Brittany independent now,or part of France ? becouse independent Brittany would either try alliance with Ireland,or England.Not Scotland,they have their french allies. P.S Luder succed only becouse german princes helped him.Zwingli would not survive without at least one strong...

I just remembered,that Berber in Maghreb hated arabs/well,still hate them/,and were once christians.Some tribes in 16th century still could be. So,there is good chance then united Spain would use Berber as fifth column to conqer Maghreb. There was/in early 16th century/ still christian kingdom...

So,like somebody said,many things must change so everything remain the same - becouse we still have powerfull Spain as a result. Which is logical - in 16th century either Spain or France must become superpower.Since France fall,Spain must become Empire.

Few more stories like that,and people would get your award.You really deserved that.

Becouse it happened after 1648,when all rulers stopped be true belivers.EXcept Cromwell,who still supported France against Spain.Well,he planned change England into Judea.

France was Ottoman ally becouse they fought HRE.That approach would not change here - catholic countries would still support Ottomans,if they fought their catholics enemies. Luder supported Ottomans not becouse politics,but religion.Any protestants in this TL would probably do the same.

Indeed,let agree we do not agree. Back to Trebizont situation - in OTL Luder revolution stopped Crusade for which pope was gathering money,and later he described Ottomans as "God whip".As a result,protestant princes was de facto Ottomans allies. Which means,that Luder style revolution would help...

Protestant was always worst - that is why common people fight for Church.Becouse protestantism means stealing from them. And pope could not decide like he wanted,becouse Tradition keep him in line.Nothing keep in line protestants rulers.

Why not prevent reformation? it was disaster for everybody except rich who steal church property,and rulers which become super popes capable of declaring what chrystianity is regardless of Tradition and other people opinion. It was not USA protestantism where everybody could establish...

I read about Italian militaries - once they have good infrantry levies,especially crossbowmen,but till 1500 they degenerated to the point when everybody used mercaneries.Which lead to ruling mercaneries - except Venetia,when locals was smart enough to hire small units without one commander,so...

i read about ships of the line which served about 100 years.And in case of galleys there is Theseus ship in Atens - which even made place in philosophy,when they asked if Theseus ship with all parts replaced is still Theseus ship./Yes,it is/

So,it would be war with Ottomans.Unles Trebizond get allies,they would lost.I suggest Venice,Persia or both.Hungary would not join.
