in my m2tw arc, back on my tsardoms bullshit
its a mod for the 1300s balkans, covering the rise of the ottomans. i'm reading abt the ottomans right now so its complimentary. recently i've redone units for the beylik of aydin & bulgaria so i'm running campaigns with them. playing sensibly and soberly is old hat now so i'm going wildly overaggressive in pursuit of silly ambitions (Bulgaria must conquer 'Grand Vlachia'--Thessaly, because Asen & Peter said they represented Vlachs in the 1190s, we must rescue them from the Serbs and Greeks!)
M2TW re-kindled my interest in history after high school APUSH and APWH killed it, so I feel that. I remember taking college level courses while playing Stainless Steel, 1648 and Broken Crescent as those periods were covered. Fun times.
And to think I originally just wanted M2TW just because of the LOTR mod...
Broken Crescent has such a great map, it's one of my favorites. nothing like a strong early game becoming a desperate mess when the mongols arrive. one of the only mods with a detailed (southern, granted) central asia so i revisit it from time to time
