Malikate of Sindh (ATPG) versus Ayyubid Sultanate (Merlox), BC 1.5 with hotfixes.
Turn 25
Current Strategy: Economy
Current Priority: Withdrawl of the eastern empire.

Movements: My 2nd smaller navy destroyed, Spies seeing there even matched navy at ports. Seeing there towns and seeing there incomes. Seeing my eastern exapnsion and seeing there income. Deciding to give up the eastern empire dream, I've told my whole eastern empire garrison to go away, I've destroyed my own cities trying to get what ever is worth in money. Throwing them all in Very High Taxes. Withdrawing my armies that were going to go on a fruitless campain against the Sindh's to Mecca, One of the holy cities of islam that can't be given up. So long to my eastern empire.
I am sure that this is the smartest thing to do. I hope that all agree with me as well. The eastern dream was a failure and all if in my place, would maybe agree with me.

Troops recruitment : The strongest ships in the game.
Troop Releasement : Half of my military
Agent recruitment : none
Cities let go : 5

Turn 25
Current Strategy: Destroy everyone
Current Priority: Khwarezm, Abassids, Rajputs

The Ayyubid threat has gone away, spies report. A shame. I was looking forward to smashing Saladin's skull open.

We turn our attention towards the Abassids, whose fine and bloated cities will be excellent to sack, and the Rajputs, whose Chauhan brothers have been destroyed. The Khwarezm have also left themselves wide open.

Everywhere I turn, computers are making defensive blunders. More pillaging for me....



we have spies following Saladin around, just in case he decides to become bolder than a rooster, but no less dead for that. Graphs favor the Ayyubids for now... but a reversal of fortune is coming for them.

Grog (Turks) v ATPG(England) Turn11
(LTC3.1. VH/VH, no holds barred~)

Egypt were destroyed this turn by the green horde.

Successful Jihad vs Baghdad.

3 sieges in place, one could be a tad risky~

Spy network is growing and spreading, economy beginning to spool up, population is growing exponentially, production strong and consistent.

Now is the time to find the tricky balance point between expansionism and development for Jihad 2...

Now that our respective holy wars have ended, it will be interesting to see how much the LTC mod restricts our blitzing

Turn 29
Current Strategy: Destroy everyone
Current Priority: Rajputs, Khwarezm, Abassids, Seljuks

Oh how the mighty have fallen... Sindh continues it's insane growth, and now leads the Ayyubids in most categories. As we prepare our final assault into India, our forces have captured Baghdad and have crippled the Abassid faction. We plundered over 30,000 florins from the once-mighty Caliphate.

I pronounce myself Caliph of all Islam!

Only the Ayyubids dare question my authority over all Muslims now. Our forces have massed at Baghdad, such that the Ayyubids had better watch themselves.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

We continue to push into Iran and Turkmenistan, leaving a trail of death behind us. None resist us, mighty Caliph!

England vs Turks, LTC 3.1

Strategy: (hidden)

France and Scotland were obliterated this turn. Our economy is booming. The Turks continue to wander into a trap.

I have put Plan X into motion. We will see if this one is as successful as the last.

I am glad you appreciate!

By the way, I am planning on doing a full-blown AAR thread regarding Sindh, similar to my Bloody Crescent: Rise of the Turks thread, based on this duel.

Whether I win or lose, this will give people some tips on how to play Sindh.
