That means that emperor is more or less a puppet of the military junta. But will he ever try to break out of the influence of the military strongmen surrounding him.
He can try.
Anyway I must say that you are doing a great job here. But may I ask that till what period are you planning to continue this timeline Sov, also I wanted to ask if you were going to start any timeline about an Asian country or dynasty. Sorry if you felt offended I just asked you casually.
By the way eagerly awaiting your next update.
I'm thinking of doing this to around the 1500s. My goal here was brining the Roman state back to a Great Power, and right now we're at regional power levels. So, about half way done. Actually 3/4 given my current plans for Anatolia.
Yeah, I have 2 vague ideas for timelines in Asia, but I doubt I'll ever get to them. One is a No Mongols, the other about a stronger Safavid Dynasty where in which Ismail avoids the disaster at Chaldoran (instead Selim is crushed, and the Iranians are both able to keep much of Kurdistan, but also hold Iraq in the coming decades. Keeping Iraq massively benefits Iran in the coming decades, economically and militarily).
That's about it, since I'm not really too knowledgeable on Asia. Africa and the New World is more my thing (which I do have a few ideas on this), after Late Antiquity and the Medieval Era ofc.
Don't worry about offending me.
