The Mamluk Sultanate is a formable in the Middle East and requires Egypt,
Saudi Arabia,
Israel,
Lebanon,
Syria, and
Jordan to be formed.
Background[]
The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.
The Mamluk Sultanate was a medieval realm spanning Egypt,
Cyprus,the
Levant and
Hejaz that established itself as a caliphate. It lasted from the overthrow of the Ayyubid dynasty until the Ottoman conquest of
Egypt in 1517. Historians have traditionally broken the era of Mamlūk rule into two periods—one covering 1250–1382, the other, 1382–1517. Western historians call the former the "Baḥrī" period and the latter the "Burjī" due to the political dominance of the regimes known by these names during the respective eras. Contemporary Muslim historians refer to the same divisions as the "Turkic" and "Circassian" periods in order to stress the change in the ethnic origins of the majority of Mamlūks.
Economy and Manpower[]
The Mamluk Sultanate produces an amazing $4,887,222. Most of the income comes from Egyptian taxes and Saudi resources, such as oil. The Mamluk Sultanate has a manpower cap of 1,521,178. It gains 6,966 manpower daily.
Geography[]
Terrain[]
The terrain of Mamluk is mostly flat. There are Hilly areas on the coasts of the Red Sea in Egypt and
Saudi Arabia.
Biome[]
Most of the biome of the country is Arid except in the Nile River and Caanan.
Borders[]
The Mamluk Sultanate borders: Yemen,
Oman, the
United Arab Emirates,
Qatar,
Kuwait,
Iraq,
Turkey,
Libya, and
Sudan. It has a very long coastline along the Mediterranean, Arabian Sea, and Red Sea.
Strategy[]
Firstly, justify on Israel and
Jordan. If
Israel is a player, you may need to build artillery. However, this scenario is unlikely. Do all this with your home guard. Now, is
Lebanon or
Syria taken by
Turkey? If not, attack them both, probably without a problem.
If Turkey is a player[]
If Turkey is a player, here's what to do. Ally
Iran and
Russia if you want. Build electronic factories and block their access to the Suez Canal. Ask calmly in the chat for
Syria and
Lebanon. If they are unwilling to give the countries, put your home guard along their border. Put some artillery behind your home guard. This is simply a distraction, so don't worry if they get through. Make tanks if you can, and out arty in Cairo for defense. Now build one submarine, one destroyer, as well as two 2K tank divisions.
Justify and declare war. Apply deception on the enemy so it will look like you're trying hard on the frontline when really, you're not. Now those two tank divisions? Send one to Istanbul, and the other to Ankara. Use your destroyer and your submarine to guide them through the Mediterranean. Catch them by surprise, then when the cities are captured, split the division and auto-capture. Hopefully, this works and Turkey will fall.
By now, you have two situations. Firstly, Saudi Arabia is A.I. and attacking them isn't a problem. Secondly, they are not a player, and have formed Arabia, possibly taking
Iraq and even invading
Iran. If you are in the first situation, just attack them and form Mamluk. If not, here's what to do.
If Saudi Arabia is a player[]
Make destroyers in the Red Sea. Allow your troops to recover from the war with Turkey. Then put your home guard and artillery on the border with
Jordan (and
Syria if they have taken
Iraq), then declare war. Allow them to attack your home guard, then using 3K tanks, attack the east coast. If you want to, stop there to recharge due to the Arid biome, then continue after you have recovered decently. Use a 2K division to attack through
Iraq, further pressuring them. Finally, a 1K division is needed to capture Riyadh, and by then you can get them to collapse.
Then, you can form the Mamluk Sultanate!
Threats[]
Turkey is a threat, as the classic Turkish player wants
Syria,
Lebanon,
Israel, and
Jordan for the
Ottoman Empire.
Saudi Arabia being a player and allying powerful countries can also be a threat.
- A skilled
Iran could take
Syria.
Iraq may expand for the
Babylonian Empire but this is unlikely.
