How difficult is it to create a tyrannical dictatorship, ruling all territories directly and keeping the populace loyally terrified of your iron grip?

Well, now we have no choice but to invade Italy. Then we can hide out there while the Golden Horde fucks up the entire Middle East, and periodically send scouts to check if it's safe to go back.

Historical questions: Why were there so many Mongols? Where'd they all come from? Why'd they all migrate together? Why didn't they peter out before reaching Europe? How come Europe didn't have such huge numbers of people just ready and willing to be a continent-spanning army?

A mid-sized horse has about 35-40 litres of blood in its body, so you can tap out a fair bit without affecting it overly much. Blood is also hella nutritious, so you don't have to drink a whole lot of it in order to survive.

How do they tap the horse? Do they just stab it? If so, how do they close the wound afterwards? Surely they'd have horses continually getting infections and falling ill.

If you do that for a few centuries, you figure out how to do it right. Today, there are tribes in East Africa who bleed their cattle often and mix the blood with milk, ick

So, what, now you're drinking a frothy pink mixture? Fantastic.

Edit: So this is what it looks like, then. Earlier in the video shows the actual bleeding of the cow, so don't watch that if you don't want to.

In 1295, he the Pope is ready to launch another campaign. He issues a general call to arms calls for a Crusade, mobilizing 25000 men under his banners and dividing them into three armies. Two of these armies will retake Azerabaijan the Holy Land, while the third attacks the enemy heathen capital - Baghdad.

Once again, an Ildeguzid child rules Azerbaijan Christians rule Jerusalem.

The chances of at least one ruler brought into EU3 being an Unnamed Infant aren't too terrible. Since there's a whole bunch of Unnamed Infants in Osterreich, including one Count, and every child a male Unnamed Infant has becomes an Unnamed Infant himself, they can infect the families of Europe like a virus.

Probably why Wiz had them all eradicated. :zombie:

Are there Australian Aboriginals in this game? How about after Arab traders convert Indonesia to Islam, they also reach the north of Australia for some light trading. Some Aboriginal groups are converted to Islam and this unifies them somewhat, either within themselves or with the Indonesians.

No Aboriginals in vanilla (and I don't think they're in Wizmod either). Honestly, I don't think that it'd really benefit the game to insert them.

I don't think it's very tolerant to conquer areas.

You tolerants should try to get the king to release any nonazerbaijani areas as free and independent nations.

e; you know what else isn't tolerant? Armies and fortifications. Killing foreign soldiers just because they were unlucky enough to end up in the army seems awfully hateful.

We aim for the greatest toleration for all. If there is no toleration to be found in foreign lands, then we must conquer them to bring them into our sphere of tolerance. The descendents of those subjugated will thank us.

How would a secular kingdom even work? I thought part of the deal with monarchs was "I am appointed by God". How else do you stop people asking "Why is he the only one who gets to sit on the throne?"
