The Third Way, hard ironman. Oman -> Culture shift into persian -> Mughals
Lots of fun, pretty challenging, this was the third attempt I had that made it to 1490. First time I went south into africa and got curb stomped by the mamluks. Second time I skipped persia and got curb stomped by a coalition of indians and persians. Third time was the charm, snaking through persia. All together about 830 provinces converted into Ibadi. Hormuz was an effective trap for over a hundred thousand persians in the first 100 years of the game. Much like great perm I had to fight everyone and their mothers because europeans love to guarantee random muslims in africa
