[@josephcola9662]

As a general word of advice: The Mamluks are in a great position to form Rum, which has the (excellent) Ottoman government reform, great ideas, a great mission tree, and Jannisaries. You need to shift to Turkish culture first, however. Which means that you can't upgrade your government to an Empire until you do so, because then you can't become Turkish anymore.

[@magnustheidamey4924]

Rum has mission tree ?

[@simonandsimbagaming]

You could if you switched to a non-Levantine culture and then to Turkish, right? I've never really done culture swapping so I'm not super well versed on how it works.

[@josephcola9662]

@@magnustheidamey4924 I think so? It's been a while, and my unending attempts at BYZ into Rome make most other games blend together. The hugboxes in Europe are unreal. Seriously, how the hell is Venice allied to Austria, Poland, Denmark, AND England?!?

[@brandonlyon730]

Personally not a fan of culture flipping, if you’re just going to radically change your nation like that (unless it's something culturally significant like from England to Britian) what would be the point of starting out as that nation to begin? Granted this more of me being on the role playing side of things rather then trying to be as optimized as possible.

[@memeindustry672]

@@brandonlyon730 It's a preference thing. I prefer not culture swapping for immersion reasons as well. I'll rarely religion swap, not for any particular gain, but sometimes as a meme like Islamic pope. Some people don't really get into it like that and play it strictly as a min/max thing ig.

[@Jabrail-wm4rn]

I have been playing Europe 4 for a long time and when I first started playing I was glad that the Mamluks have some kind of mechanics with the Circassians. I am a Circassian and have heard about the Circassian dynasty in Egypt. By the way, at present, most of the Circassians live in Turkey after the Russian Empire staged a genocide

[@steadyzz2371]

There were 2 Mamluk dynasties in Egypt. Mamluk literally means “mostly Kipchak Turks that were enslaved by Abbasid Caliphs to be used as soldiers”. They took over in the Ghaznavids, Delhi Sultanate and the Khwarezmian empire. The Circassians overthrew the Egyptian Turkic Mamluks and placed themselves on the throne

[@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl]

@@steadyzz2371 it literally means 'owned'

[@Abd121]

something you slightly screwed up in the peace deal, when you're in a reconquest CB, take land, use the "return cores" interface, otherwise the warscore cost discount won't apply and the ottomans won't lose their cores on the lost greek land.

[@hansgustafsson708]

Production efficency doesn't increase goods produced so it doesn't make sense to build them based on what trade good a province has. Rather just look at the number in the macrobuilder and pick the highest. Seeing you pass on that 0,41 workshop really hurt.

[@doodlenoodle5466]

My favorite strategies with mamluks is pushing west by vassalizing Fezzan, feeding Saharan minor to Fezzan, attack Tlemcen and trying to rush to Granada, so that Spain never reform. After that you could island hoping and colonize the new world and get colonization institution.

[@Phantom-mg5cg]

In my last Mamluks game I went bankrupt after a little "rebell-accident" causing high autonomy, changing to Judaism and after that a lot of rebells. But it was a nice play through.

[@hakikiwicaksana7231]

One thing that I like from the mamluks is that you won't get a stab hit when your ruler dies Not only that you can easily get high army tradition by constanly make your ruler a general and pick the next ruler with circasian origin which give you 10% army tradition if I'm not mistaken 🤔

[@aliofhwice3502]

The Mamluks pseudo-election system encourages you to mix it up by switching between circasian and most popular culture (usually Egyptian) by giving specific buttons, like free gold and manpower. The Army tradition is OK, but a very short term thing if you're gonna goto war soon.

[@viniciusyugulis7278]

I have an idea for your Circassia A to Z, form the Mamluks as them

[@lyonard9226]

Hope the Mamluks receive a fulfilling mission tree and flavour in the next update. For example, the player should be able to choose between three paths through missions and events: a Mamluk path (and receive buffs to the Mamluk government and abilities), an Egyptian path (more like a regular monarchy but with some buffs and maybe the ability to westernize, also Egypt needs to be improved as a formable like they did with Scandinavia) or a Caliphate path (maybe linked to Arabia as a formable, but with something similar to the Holy Horde).

[@michaellipham6344]

one quick note.if you plan on no cb’ing byzantium and buying stability after it would make more sense to buy one stability at the very start to get its benefits for the 2 years before declaring and it’s the same cost as being on negative stability so the cost is the same and you get the benefits of being on one stability

[@nvizible]

A to Z idea for the Mamluks eventually. SInce the Nile is so important for any egyptian civilization, how about conquer at least on province of each of the most important rivers in the world. Yellow, Amazon, Yangtze, Mississippi, Rhine, Danube, Mekong, Ganges, maybe the Niger too. To make it even more thematic maybe you can only expand in a line like a river lol.

[@jessicalindo7977]

Can you imagine if throughout history rulers just made vassals and more vassals and integrated their old ones and went "We're declaring war on the Ottomans to reconquer the rightful land of Syria!"

[@sorsocksfake]

Quite easy to imagine as such things did happen (though often it would involve the ruler fleeing the initial conquest, and the host restoring his lands in exchange for his allegiance). Happens to this day in a sense (e.g. Russia kept the pro-Russian former president of Ukraine around, I think the West accepted the Persian Shah, and so forth). Of course historically the lines would typically be more blurred. It might be more accurate if vassal loyalty scaled everything: there's a big difference whether you have 100% loyalty or 51% loyalty.

[@hansmercier2809]

Warscore to return cores is actually slightly cheaper (than switching occupations for vassals) and just "taking" provinces .

[@viniciusyugulis7278]

No, on the contrary actually Return cores is only better if you want to increase relations with vassal quickly
