Ottoman Empire

Post by Camile Desmoulins »

One of the less realistic aspects of EiA is probably the low militar power that they have the Contries of the Northern Africa. In the game it is very easy for the good players Spanish and Turk to conquer a great portion of Africa, way that also has opened the whole of players if they are able to liberate their hands of the European mud. The reality is that Spain was totally unable of occupying a similar territory, difficultly it had maintained Morocco, and the Turks couldnt maintain its own territory, difficultly to expand with the happiness that a good Turk can make it in EiA.

The solution doesn't go simply to increase quality and quantity of troops, because of being made this way, soon we will see that Borodino combats full of Cyrenaics against Tripolitans. In the web there was an optional (I don't know if it will have been accepted) that went up the morals of these corps for the defense of their own territories, passing from 1/2 to 2/3 inside their original frontiers, that that at least it avoided the military parade and it force to take more than an Army Corps to conquer this region. How have you planned to make with the north of África?
