1299 — Age of the Marches

# 1299 — Age of the Marches ## Release and Historical Agreement The start is September 1, 1299, at 08:00. The day/hour is a scenario start point, not a claim of a specific historical event. This release is a broad **research and gameplay draft**: it contains 82 political administration records, dynasty members, and auxiliary actors. Not every minor European lordship, every local Asian dynasty, or every child of every monarch is verified in full. Anatolia is the priority. Catalog figures and cover art are representative; they are not considered verified portraits. **Documented information:** period, identity, and event are used within the limits of the relevant study. **Controversial:** rumors, conflicting dates, incomplete lineage, and uncertain boundaries are kept open. **Game model:** all numerical troop pools, garrisons, HB budgets, production/destruction indices, provision days, and construction price/duration are design choices. These game numbers are not attributed to a historian; they are not a 1299 census or a national income series. In particular, later descriptions by al-Omari and Ibn Battuta are not projected directly back to 1299. Davia is a world of character/institution roleplay. The person chosen possesses the authority and knowledge horizon of their era. They are not an actor who governs an entire country with an omniscient abstract cursor. For the start, Osman, Güneri, Yakub, Hamid, Sayf al-Din Sulayman, the Byzantine emperor, and the Ilkhanid/Mamluk administrations provide different challenges. The selection of a child sultan is represented through regents and advisors. Uncertain, dead, or yet-to-be-born biographical records are not recommended as starting roles. ## The State of Anatolia in 1299 While the Seljuk sultanate continues with its titles and local institutions, the Ilkhanid military/financial hegemony is the deciding factor. Alaeddin Kayqubad III is recorded as the reigning sultan; Mesud II is an deposed member of the dynasty. The tension opened by the rebellions of Baltu and Sülemiş, the field of movement for the Turkmen marches, and the various local powers around Konya all overlap. “Ilkhanid hegemony” does not mean every village is managed with the same strength by a single center. Osman's core is the Söğüt–Karacahisar region; Bursa, Nicaea, and Nicomedia are in Byzantine hands at the start. The traditional foundation date of 1299 is not rendered as a scene where the entire Seljuk realm passes to Osman on the same day. Similarly, Kayı lineage and early genealogical accounts are not presented as indisputable contemporary records. [Halil İnalcık, Osman I](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/osman-i) and [Orhan](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/orhan) are the primary references for early source criticism. Beylik records do not conflate the Çobanoğulları and Candaroğulları: Mahmud's Kastamonu center is separate from Yaman Candar's Eflani fief. Hamid is recorded as the paramount bey; Dündar's later inscriptions and conquests are not projected backward. Karaman's Güneri and his brother Mahmud are distinct individuals. The houses of Eşref, Sahib Ata, Inan, Pervâne, and Menteşe are not disregarded among their larger neighbors. The Aydinids do not start as an independent country established in 1299; records of Mehmed and Sasa are biographical preparatory notes. Saruhan's march activities are distinct from the conquest of Manisa. The traditional 1313 date for Manisa is not definitive by contemporary documentation; the Emecen article discusses the period after 1310. Later political formations such as Eretna, Dulkadir, Ramadan, Taceddinids, and Qadi Burhan al-Din are not shown as established at the start. [Feridun Emecen, Saruhanids](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/saruhanogullari), [Erdoğan Merçil, Aydinids](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/aydinogullari). ## Meaning of the Map and Boundary Ledger Every beylik in Anatolia is shown as an approximate play region around its documented center; boundaries are MODELS, not a measured September 1, 1299 line found in sources. Light purple denotes Ilkhanid suzerainty, while dark purple denotes direct Ilkhanid vassalage. Terrain color does not solely determine a fortress's de facto allegiance. At the start, every land region has an owner; colors in distant regions may represent community networks represented by collective councils rather than states. Mixed and contested march values are used only within the game, when control is divided through war or rebellion. Seas do not take on land-state colors. **Northwest.** Osman's region comprises Söğüt, Karacahisar, Domaniç, Bozüyük, the Eskişehir plain, and the Sakarya bend (`cell531`). The Bilecik–İnegöl–Yenişehir march (`cell530`), Ereğli–Bolu march (`cell528`), Troas–Edremit–Bergama march (`cell533`), and Manisa–Izmir–Ayasuluk Aegean march (`cell534`) are contested. Bursa, Nicaea, Nicomedia, and Kocaeli are Byzantine (`cell529`). The transitions of Bilecik, Yarhisar, and İnegöl during 1299 are debated. For DOCUMENTED centers, see https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/osman-i and for Byzantine chronology see https://www.persee.fr/doc/rebyz_0766-5598_2019_num_77_1_5167. **West and Interior.** Germiyan holds Kütahya, Simav, Uşak, Kula, and Çivril (`cell537`); Sahib Ata holds Karahisar, Sandıklı, Bolvadin, and Akşehir (`cell522`); Hamid holds Uluborlu, Eğirdir, Isparta, Burdur, and the Teke mountains (`cell538`). Balıkesir is Karesi (`cell532`), the Milas–Beçin–Muğla region is Menteşe (`cell535`), and Lâdik–Honaz is the Inan region (`cell536`). Byzantine centers like Manisa and Ayasuluk are visible in their own fortress records. Independent Aydın and Manisa-based Saruhan rule are not projected to the start. The Konya plain (`cell543`) and the Gulf of Antalya (`cell539`) are Seljuk; Beyşehir–Seydişehir (`cell541`) is Eşrefid; Lârende–Ermenek–Mut (`cell542`) and the Alâiye branch (`cell540`) are Karamanid. Ankara–Kırşehir–Çankırı (`cell546`), Kayseri–Niğde (`cell547`), and Çorum–Amasya–Tokat (`cell548`) are under Ilkhanid suzerainty. Suzerainty is evaluated separately from the right to collect taxes or raise troops. https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/germiyanogullari https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/keykubad-iii https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/esrefogullari https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/saruhanogullari **North and East.** Candar holds Eflani–Safranbolu–Bartın (`cell527`), Çoban holds Kastamonu–İnebolu–Taşköprü (`cell526`), and Pervâne holds the Sinop–Boyabat (`cell525`) region; the Empire of Trebizond holds the coast from Ünye to Hopa (`cell523`). The Canik coasts (`cell524`) are shown under mixed control. Sivas–Malatya (`cell549`), Erzurum–Erzincan–Kars (`cell501`), Diyarbakır–Mardin–Van (`cell550`), and the Armenian Highlands (`cell152`) bear the mark of Ilkhanid suzerainty. Sis–Adana–Tarsus Cilicia (`cell544`) is a separate kingdom caught between the Ilkhanid alliance and Mamluk pressure; Antioch–Bagras (`cell545`) belongs to the Mamluks. https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/candarogullari https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/cobanogullari https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/pervaneogullari https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/samsun https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/ilhanlilar **Europe.** France (`cell271`), the Germany, Low Countries, Alpine, and Austrian cells under the umbrella of the Roman-German kingdom (`cell124`, `cell123`, `cell126`, `cell127`, `cell130`), Sweden (`cell112`), Norway (`cell113`), and Raška (`cell132`) bear their dominant crown colors. This color represents suzerainty; the income and troops of fiefs, princes, and cities are not added to the king's account. Britain is divided into England from the Solway–Tweed line (`cell292`) and Scotland of the guardians (`cell518`); Iberia is divided into Castile-León (`cell291`), the Crown of Aragon (`cell519`), Granada (`cell520`), and Navarre (`cell521`). Murcia remains legally under Castile but has been under Aragonese military occupation since 1296. The division does not generate troops, money, or tax rights; production/destruction indices are shared values from before the partition. Italy, Poland, Flanders, parts of the Balkans, and the Russian principalities are mixed as they host multiple independent administrations. **Maghreb and Java.** Morocco (`cell282`) and the Central Maghreb (`cell258`) are under mixed control: Marinid Morocco, the besieged Abdalwadid Tlemcen, and the Béjaïa Hafsid branch are tracked in their own records. Ifriqiya (`cell138`) is the Hafsid core; the island of Djerba is on the side of Sicily–Aragon. Java (`cell430`) is mixed because it hosts Majapahit along with Sunda and other local administrations. **MODEL.** Anatolian beylik borders are approximate gameplay lines following centers, valleys, and mountain ridges. The growth of beylik cells does not alter the basis for income measurement, the treasury, or military capacity. Exact rural boundaries for September 1, 1299, that are UNKNOWN are not derived from these lines in the game. These are indices of production and destruction intensity. Cell division does not generate troops, money, stock, or new tax rights. Conquest record: date/precision; location; former de facto owner; new de facto owner; captured fortress; controlled village/road; terms of surrender; garrison/provisions; tax access; contested right; source. The capture of a fortress does not grant the entire mixed cell or its neighbors. If total control is established, the cell's value and color change; partial control is tracked via fortress and register. This release makes no claim to historical boundaries redrawn to the centimeter/district level. ## Initial Crises and Diplomacy - Anatolian marches: Bargaining between Ilkhanid tax collection, local legitimacy, and urban security. - Osman's circle: The Byzantine fortress belt, competition from neighboring Turkmen, and the need for reliable allies with limited resources. - Mamluks: Young al-Nasir Muhammad, who ascended the throne again in February 1299; the powerful influence of Salar and Baybars al-Jashnakir; the defense of Syria. - Ilkhanids: Order following Anatolian rebellions, administrative reforms, and the Mamluk front; Öljeitü is not yet Ilkhan. - Tokhta and Nogai: Struggle for supremacy in the Ulus of Jochi; the future Bulgarian throne of Nogai's son Chaka is not granted as an existing reign. - Kaidu and Duva: Alliance against the Yuan; differentiation of pasture and oasis revenues. - Byzantium: fiscal distress, conflicting provincial interests, and Latin trade privileges; the Catalan company is not a standing army of the emperor in 1299. - Europe: France–England/Flanders issues, Scottish guard service, Italy's fragmented institutions, the War of the Sicilian Vespers, and Hungarian succession pressures. A modern, unified Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, and United Kingdom are not established. - East Asia: Yuan Khanate, the Goryeo court which is subject to but separate from the Yuan; in Japan, the Kyoto emperor, Kamakura shogun, and Hōjō regent are separate offices. - South Asia: Delhi does not govern the entire subcontinent; Bengal, Yadava, Kakatiya, Hoysala, Pandya, and local dynasties are separate entries. - Southeast Asia: Angkor, Đại Việt, Champa, Lan Na, Sukhothai, Martaban, and Myinsaing are different centers; Majapahit is not all of Indonesia. ## Differing operation of administrations ### Frontier principality (Uc beyligi) The Bey, dynasty, alp entourage, qadi, and ahi; tribal lands (il-yurtluk) and negotiated allegiance. Every Turkmen group is not a soldier on a constant payroll from the center. Military base: Turkmen cavalry and local infantry; negotiated campaigns between beys. Visual design: Felt cap (börk), wool/silk caftan, boots; period bows, swords, and chainmail/lamellar armor in battle. ### Seljuk Sultanate under Ilkhanid suzerainty Divan, vizier, iktâ, and qadi network; pressure from Ilkhanid tax collectors and noyans. The title of Sultan does not automatically mean local control. Military base: Palace circle, iktâ holders, and regional forces. Visual design: Seljuk palace caftan and period headgear; no modern coat of arms. ### Roman imperial administration Emperor, co-emperor, court and provincial offices; pronoia right to income is not full land ownership; local elite and church are influential. Military base: Local and imperial units, mercenaries; payment and naval support are critical. Visual design: Byzantine silk tunics and period crown; no late European plate armor. ### Ilkhanid divan and noyans Khan, emirs, and Persian financial divan; Mongol ulus relations, Sharia law, and customary (örf) order are influential together. Tax reforms are not implemented everywhere in a single day. Military base: Mongol/Turk cavalry, subject units, and local infantry. Visual design: Caftan, lamellar armor, composite bow; ornate but representative face. ### Mamluk military sultanate Sultan, high emirs, iktâ, and Mamluk households; there is no automatic father-to-son succession. A child sultan's actual authority depends on the support of the emirs. Military base: Trained Mamluk cavalry, halka units, and auxiliaries. Visual design: Period Mamluk caftan, turban, or helmet and chainmail/lamellar armor in battle. ### Mongol ulus order Chinggisid legitimacy, dynastic branches, noyans, and herd/pasture rights; requires kurultai support and military obedience. Military base: Numerous steppe cavalry; pasture, remounts, and water are decisive. Visual design: Steppe caftan, fur hat, composite bow, and lamellar pieces. ### Yuan imperial administration Khagan, central secretariat, regional administrations, and Mongol military aristocracy; Chinese tax bureaucracy and local intermediaries. Supremacy over Tibet/Korea is not the same as direct annexation. Military base: Regional garrison, Mongol cavalry, Chinese infantry, and specialized units. Visual design: Yuan-era Mongol-Chinese court attire; Ming/Qing costumes are not used. ### Native kingdom subject to the Yuan The Goryeo court and native offices are preserved; Yuan obligations and dynastic marriages limit independent action. Military base: Local garrison, infantry, and limited cavalry. Visual design: Goryeo-era court attire; Joseon icons are not used. ### Kamakura bakufu The Kyoto imperial office, the shogun, and the Hōjō shikken (regent) are separate. Gokenin service depends on personal land rights and the expectation of rewards. Military base: Period samurai horse archers and household infantry retinues. Visual design: Kamakura-era ō-yoroi/dō-maru and tachi; no Sengoku castle, musket, or ashigaru uniforms. ### Sultanate and iktâ administration Sultan, emirs, iktâ, and local tax mediation; agricultural taxes and central control change over the period. Military base: Cavalry, infantry, and elephants depending on the region; subsequent conquests are not granted at the start. Visual design: 13th-century Indo-Islamic caftan, turban, sword, and chainmail. ### Regional Indian kingdom King, dynasty, regional service holders, village and temple lands; the gentry of each kingdom varies in power. Military base: Cavalry, infantry, archers, and regional elephant units; elephants are not unlimited and are not without supply requirements. Visual design: The region's 13th-century repertoire of textiles, jewelry, and armor; no Mughal-era clothing. ### Southeast Asian center-periphery kingdom Court, local lord, temple/monastery, and tribute networks; authority in the distant periphery is tiered; modern sharp borders are not assumed. Military base: Local infantry, river/sea vessels, and regional elephants. Visual design: Regional 13th-century clothing and court tradition; no single costume for all of Asia. ### Regional Islamic sultanate/melikdom Court, divan, local emir, qadi, and trade networks. Higher tribute and internal collection are accounted for separately. Military base: Dynastic retinue, cavalry, and local auxiliaries. Visual design: Regional caftan, turban/headgear, and period armor. ### Dynastic and feudal rights Crown/despot/ban, noble houses, clergy, and cities. Terms of service, local law, and council approval set boundaries; a king cannot count all the country's income as his own purse. Military base: Household knights, infantry, archers/crossbowmen, and term service; not a standing national army. Visual design: Period tunic and surcoat; chainmail; no 15th-century full plate armor. ### Elective Roman-German kingdom The King of the Romans is elected by princes; Habsburg hereditary lands are separate, and imperial princes possess distinct authority and income. The Golden Bull of 1356 is not applied retroactively. Military base: Princes' negotiated quotas and dynastic units; all of Germany is not a single army. Visual design: 13th-century crown and surcoat; later imperial symbols are not used representationally. ### Commune / city management with a council Council, merchant families, and rotating offices; a chosen/appointed leader cannot automatically pass the role to his son. Venice, Genoa, Milan, and Novgorod are not considered equivalent constitutions. Military base: Mercenaries, city militia; separate ship crews in maritime cities. Visual design: Wealthy urban fabrics and period official attire; no modern national uniforms. ### Church / order administration Elective pope/master, institution boards, and land rights. There is no biological son succession; election and allegiance are required. Military base: Institutional garrisons, retinue, and contracted auxiliaries. Visual design: Period clerical/monastic attire; late-period symbols and uniforms are not used. ### Russian principalities under the suzerainty of the Golden Horde The prince, the boyar, and the city; the Horde's yarlik (patent), tribute, and local claims of succession vary. A prince is not the sovereign of all Russian lands. Military base: Druzhina retinue and local infantry; service and tax collection of cities are limited. Visual design: 13th-century fur-trimmed caftan, period helmets, and chainmail. ## Economy, population, and the evidential limit of quantities Each primary administration maintains a single public account. The 0 HB/0 soldier values of dynastic members do not imply they are without wealth; rather, they indicate that the main state treasury is not being counted twice for them. Income and expenditure are not a reconstruction of the state's entire historical accounting. Initial collection capacity, standard monthly burden, additional war expenditures, debts, and construction costs are kept separate. As total population counts have not been verified, precise population statistics have not been added for each state. Agriculture depends on local harvest seasons, water, and labor; pastoral economy on grazing lands; customs on actual transit. A frontier principality (uc beyligi) and a trade commune do not use the same basket of income. Production in the Nile basin, Denizli textiles, Sinop customs, Bohemian mines, and steppe herds face different bottlenecks. Religion/ethnicity is not an innate multiplier for economic success. The initial garrisons and provisions of fortresses are game assumptions. Explicitly named wall garrisons are not recorded twice with the "administrative center" guard units: if both are present in the same city, the administrative center value represents internal household protection, while the wall sign represents external defense units. The standard monthly burden includes initial garrison costs; it is not added again in the first month. Removing a new garrison from the campaign pool reciprocally changes the current headcount; it does not create total human resources. ## Administration and dynastic record All military and currency columns below are **models**. Resource connections are intended for the context of the ruler/institution; they do not verify these figures. There is no claim of a "complete list of children"; members marked as vague in the description are biographical records outside the map. | Administration | Starting Rank | Campaign Pool (model) | Treasury HB (model) | Tax Collection HB/month (model) | Economic Basis | Dynasty / Rank Note | Reference | |---|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---|---| | Ottoman March | Osman Ghazi | 1600 | 6000 | 2500 | Söğüt summer/winter pastures, herds, market and toll revenues | Orhan; Alâeddin Ali; birth status of other sons in 1299 uncertain | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/osman-i) | | Karamanids | Güneri Bey | 9000 | 28000 | 12500 | Taurus livestock, lowland grain and mountain pass trade | Brother Mahmud; no confirmed 1299 records for Güneri's sons | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/karamanogullari) | | Germiyanids | Yakub Bey I | 8000 | 32000 | 14000 | Grain, pasture, textiles and domestic markets | Son Mehmed; birth year unknown | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/germiyanogullari) | | Hamidids | Hamid Bey | 3000 | 12000 | 5500 | Lake region agriculture, herds and road tolls | Son İlyas; grandson Dündar; ages uncertain | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/hamidogullari) | | Eşrefids | Seyfeddin Süleyman Bey | 2500 | 13000 | 5000 | Lake basin grain, livestock and local market | Son Mübarizüddin Mehmed; daughter Gülcemal | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/esrefogullari) | | Menteşeids | Mesud Bey | 4000 | 18000 | 7800 | Coastal trade, timber, agriculture and naval raids | Son Şücaüddin Orhan; ages of other sons in 1299 unknown | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/menteseogullari) | | Karesiids | Karesi Bey | 3500 | 16000 | 6500 | Grain, pasture and Marmara-Aegean trade connections | Yahşi, Demirhan, Dursun: kinship and birth details debated | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/karesiogullari) | | Candarids — Eflani | Şemseddin Yaman Candar | 1200 | 5500 | 2600 | Forest products, pasture and local agriculture | Son Süleyman I; age unknown | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/candarogullari) | | Çobanids — Kastamonu | Mahmud Bey (Çobanoğlu) | 3500 | 16000 | 6800 | Forest, livestock, urban market and Black Sea connection | Son of Yavlak Arslan; his own children unconfirmed | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/cobanogullari) | | Pervâneids | Mühezzebüddin Mesud Bey | 1800 | 13500 | 4200 | Sinop port customs and shipping | Son Gazi Çelebi; birth year uncertain | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/pervaneogullari) | | Sâhib Ataids | Nusretüddevle Ahmed Bey | 1800 | 9000 | 3900 | Karahisar grain, mountain pass and urban markets | Son of Şemseddin Mehmed; offspring information unconfirmed | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/sahib-ataogullari) | | İnançids — Lâdik | Şücaüddin İnanç Mehmed Bey | 1800 | 14500 | 4500 | Denizli textiles, agriculture and Turkmen trade network | Son Murad Arslan; birth year uncertain | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/inancogullari) | | Sultanate of Rum (Seljuk) | Alâeddin Keykubad III | 4500 | 17000 | 10500 | Grain taxes and caravan routes; Ilkhanid collection pressure | Reliable records of children missing; Mesud II is a deposed relative | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/keykubad-iii) | | Byzantine Empire | Andronikos II Palaiologos | 12000 | 45000 | 27000 | Land revenues, customs, urban production; Italian concessions | Sons Michael IX, Constantine, John, Theodore, Demetrios | [Reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andronikos_II_Palaiologos) | | Empire of Trebizond | Alexios II Komnenos | 2500 | 16000 | 5000 | Port and Iran-Black Sea transit trade | 1299 births of sons unconfirmed; future Alexios III recorded separately | [Reference](https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/yyusbed/article/804659) | | Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia | Hethum II | 6000 | 21000 | 11500 | Lowland agriculture, Ayas port and Taurus passes | Brothers Constantine and Oshin; nephew Levon; no biological sons | [Reference](https://hoyuk.gov.tr/eng/full-text/78/tur) | | Ilkhanate | Ghazan Mahmud Khan | 60000 | 220000 | 110000 | Land tax collection, caravan trade and reformed divan | Brother Öljeitü; son Alçu and daughter Öljey Kutluğ (detail confirmation needed) | [Reference](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/gazan-han) | | Mamluk Sultanate | an-Nasir Muhammad b.

The detailed primary backbone is 1299–1326. Subsequent horizons should be expanded through source verification. Knowing the future titles of biographies does not mean characters are aware of their future. | Date/Precision | Historical Context | Application and Proof Limitation | |---|---|---| | Within 1299 | Ottoman tradition of conquests around Bilecik, Yarhisar, Inegol, and Yenisehir | Exact months/days are not given. Initial frontier-marked transitions are recorded as annual narratives; not to be confused with Bursa/Iznik/Izmit. | | Late 1299 / 1300 | Nogai's defeat and death; Chaka's Bulgarian throne | Difference in 1299/1300 across sources; no single false day is invented. Toqta/Nogai/Chaka/Smiltsena are distinct actors. | | December 22, 1299 | Ilkhanate victory near Wadi al-Khaznadar/Homs | The defeat of the Mamluk army does not constitute an automatic Ilkhanate annexation of Egypt. | | January 4, 1300 | Ilkhanid commander's entry into Damascus | The inner citadel is not considered captured; occupation and full annexation of the province are treated separately. | | April 17, 1300 | Death of Guneri Bey; succession of Mahmud | Karaman accounting and emir authority are transferred; no second army/treasury is created. | | Circa 1300–1302 | Masud II's return to the Seljuk throne | There are date discrepancies across different items; no single day or undisputed year is given. | | July 27, 1302 — accepted in this scenario | Bapheus/Koyunhisar and the rise of Osman's reputation | The Inalcik chronology is taken as the basis; this is not considered the same event as the 1299 foundation tradition. The academic debate on dating is preserved. | | Spring 1303 | Mamluk success at Shaqhab/Marj al-Saffar | The sourced outcome is preserved; in the absence of documents, exact casualty numbers are not fabricated. | | 1303–1305 | Catalan Company's Byzantine service and subsequent conflict | The company is not a ready Byzantine force since 1299. | | 1304 | Death of Ghazan | Succession passes to his brother Oljeitu; Ghazan's son, who died in 1300, is not made an adult heir. | | July 19, 1304 | Accession of Oljeitu | Rank, resources, and public accounts are inherited in a single line. | | 1307–1308 | Period of death and succession of Karamanid Mahmud | Yahshi's kinship and source differences in order are preserved. | | 1308 | Mehmed Bey's rule over Aydin-ili | Independence and governance of the Aydinids are not granted as a given before this period. | | Circa 1308–1309 | Post-Yaman Candar, I. Suleyman and the end of the Cobanids | Eflani and Kastamonu are not merged at the start; conquest/succession steps are separate. | | Post-1310; traditionally 1313 | Manisa's transition to the Sarukhanids | According to Emecen, a definitive date cannot be established from contemporary sources; it is not locked to 1313 as an absolute day. | | 1322 | Incorporation of Sinop into the Candarid realm | The succession record regarding Pervane/Gazi Celebi and his daughter is preserved; Sinop is not Candarid in 1299. | | 1324 / alternative 1326 | Death of Osman | Inalcik's dating of 1324 and the Turkish Historical Society's record of 1326 are shown together; this version accepts 1324 as the main branch. | | 1326 | Bursa's transition to Ottoman hands | The city does not flip to the Ottoman color beforehand; control of the surroundings and the inner citadel are handled separately. | | 1331 / 1337 — future horizon | Ottoman conquest of Iznik / Izmit | These are not a 1299 start; detailed chronological verification is required when progressing toward these dates. | References: [Al-Nasir Muhammad](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/muhammed-b-kalavun), [Karamanids](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/karamanogullari), [Osman I](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/osman-i), [Orhan](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/orhan), [Oljeitu Khan](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/olcaytu-han), [Pervaneids](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/pervaneogullari), [Candarids](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/candarogullari), [Ilkhanid dynastic history](https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/il-khanids-i-dynastic-history/). ## Research methodology and source layers Expert articles by Halil Inalcik, Faruk Sumer, Feridun Emecen, Erdogan Mercil, Sait Kofoglu, Yasar Yucel, Mustafa Cetin Varlik, Tuncer Baykara, and Muharrem Kesik form the basis for Anatolian/early Ottoman history. Inscriptions, endowments (waqfs), coins, and contemporary chronicles used as foundations for these studies do not share the same evidentiary weight as later dynastic narratives. Uzuncarsili and Osman Turan are included as further reading in the bibliographies of the entries; books that were not accessed are not claimed to have been read. Ilber Ortayli's entry on [Cadi / Qadi in the Ottoman State](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/kadi#2-osmanli-devletinde-kadi) has been used to distinguish law and administration. The madrasa hierarchy, Kazaskerlik, and Qadi grades belonging to later centuries are not projected onto 1299. The lack of evidence for the early period is specifically maintained. For the Mongol and Iranian spheres, specialized entries from Encyclopaedia Iranica are used: [Chaghatayid Dynasty — Peter Jackson](https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/chaghatayid-dynasty/), [Central Asia V](https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/central-asia-v/), [Il-khanids I](https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/il-khanids-i-dynastic-history/), [Economy V](https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/economy-5-part2/), [Coban](https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/coban-cupan-ar/). Differences in dynastic chronologies, such as the start of Duwa and the death of Kaidu, are not considered to have been silently resolved. Some connections in the European and Far Asian records are secondary encyclopedia **pre-records**. These are not considered equal to the Anatolian specialized entries in terms of final academic verification. Comparisons are limited to institutional sources such as [UK royal palaces / Edward I](https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/history-and-stories/edward-i/), [UK Parliament / Edwardian era](https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/originsofparliament/birthofparliament/overview/edward/), and [Aragon archives](https://www.cultura.gob.es/archivos-aca/en/actividades/documentos-para-la-historia-de-europa/aran.html). Monographic, numismatic, and genealogical verification has not been completed for every line. The name Abdullah Kalinsazlioglu has been researched; as no verifiable expert study within the scope of 1299 could be identified in accessible content, no definitive fact or figure based on him has been added. Evaluating popular narrative against primary documents and specialized literature is not a judgment on the person, but a principle of source selection. [Hoyuk / Silifke coins](https://hoyuk.gov.tr/eng/full-text/78/tur) were used to verify the throne transition in Cilicia in 1298–1299. Since the exact month of Hethum II's 1299 restoration is not provided here, September 1st is not assigned as the definitive date of the event. David VIII's Georgia and the Ram Khamhaeng/Loe Thai transition in Sukhothai are also recorded as having uncertainties. ## Visual production and gameplay limits Appropriate generic medieval actor/castle/market/inn figures have been assigned from the Davia catalog. Ming, Joseon, and Sengoku models are not used as portraits for 1299; where there is no sufficient period-accurate model, the entry is left blank. The general cavalry signifier for a Muslim ruler does not represent a personalized portrait or the actual number of guards. The cover art is AI-generated representative art, not a historical document. The MCP tools for this version provide text, statistics, placement, and record verification. The causal rules described here are written into Davia's game solver; there is no claim that an independent deterministic war/economic software has been applied and executed. Full boundary polygons, a complete global dynastic database, all personalized portraits, and long-term multiplayer balance testing have not been completed. ## Examples of researchable decisions at start - Osman: Improving the security of the Karacahisar market, inventorying winter provisions, proposing a time-bound transit agreement to the neighboring Tekfur. - Hamid: Requesting a divan report by separating the revenues/rights of Uluborlu, Burdur, and Egirdir; reconnaissance and material estimates for the stone castle. - Guneri: Defense of the Taurus passes, reconciliation with producer villages, and alliance talks in the face of the Ilkhanid threat. - Byzantium: Auditing the payment and supplies reaching the Bithynian garrisons; negotiating the terms of Italian naval support. - Mamluk administration: Clarifying the authority of Salar and Baibars; preparing supplies and logistical lines for Syria. - Venice: Council-approved trade/ship contracts; decisions made without conflating the entire state budget with personal wealth. ## V0.2 — Character-centric opening guide The goals, pressures, and triple intentions in this section are MODEL game designs; they are not documented thoughts or actions of historical figures. SOURCED biographies and DEBATABLE lineage/historical records remain in the sources and actor files above. No ALTERNATIVE scenario has been implemented. The historical framework A applies. Select a role → write the intention's purpose, scope, and pending expenditure request → review the queue → skip ahead by an appropriate duration → monitor daily and changing stats. Example initial intention: "As Osman, request the Karacahisar supply report; wait for separate approval for troop allocation or payments." Brief summary presentation: elapsed date/time; actual events; changes in money/troops/stocks/control; pending decisions and up to three new intentions. Detailed logs open separately when required. This is a display instruction; it does not imply that a specific interface button has been added. ### Resource and authority registry The holder of the 82 existing public accounts is the only main actor record at startup with a monthly_income > 0; money is not written repeatedly for the child, regent, and army. September closing has not yet been performed. In other states, the troop count held by a person does not constitute a mobile army actor; only Osman's campaign force has been moved to a separate actor in this version. Creating a new army reduces the existing number from the main pool. The previous 211 actors have been preserved; by adding 1 army, the total has become 212. The army is also technically a selectable collective actor; is_featured = false is not a selection ban.

Orhan has reporting and proposal rights; no independent spending/command authority. IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVE: Secure winter provisions and market safety; operate with a single revenue account. INFORMATION: Only the opening file and received reports are available; distant current stocks, hidden intentions, and unborn individuals are unknown. THREE OPENING INTENTIONS: 1) Order a report on Karacahisar provision counts and horse/fodder deficits. 2) Prepare a temporary passage offer to a neighboring castle administration. 3) Request a calculation for the duration, provisions, and additional costs of a 300-man road surveillance detail; do not detach yet. COST / PRESSURE: Even a short siege creates supply shortages and extra expenses; the public treasury is limited. PENDING: These proposals are not issued orders at opening; no new campaigns, debts, construction, or treaties are approved. #### Orhan Bey — entities/orhan-bey-4.json V0.2 DECISION CARD — MODEL (not a documented personality/future prediction) AUTHORITY: Dynasty member tied to Osman's public account. No assigned troops or independent spending limits; cannot execute orders without approval. IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVE: Prepare field reports to obtain measured task authorization.

The rows within them are not a separate programmatic economy/treaty API, but a registry order that the solver must update. It is a rule that inactive or unborn persons cannot issue orders; there is no feature in this MCP that strictly disables the selectability of every entity. Removing from the map or toggling the featured flag does not resolve this constraint. These records are protected; how the selection is processed in a live session must be verified separately. ### V0.4 Map Readability, 3D Asset, and Measurement Base Update (MODEL) - **Full 3D Model Coverage**: Culture and period-compatible `mapAsset` 3D models have been assigned to all 111 `landmarks/*.json` and 123 `entities/*.json` records starting on the map (`starts_on_map: true`) (including `entities/osman-ucu-sefer-kuvveti.json`, `entities/orhan-bey-4.json`, `entities/em-r-oban-i-lhanl.json`, `entities/en-n-s-r-muhammed-b-kalavun.json`, and 19 Asian/steppe administrative centers). - **Coordinate De-stacking**: Sovereign, dynasty member, and `administrative-center` coordinates that overlapped at the same point up to the third decimal place in the Anatolian frontier (Söğüt, Konya, Lârende, Alâiye, Kütahya, Uluborlu, Beyşehir, Milas, Balıkesir, Eflani, Kastamonu, Sinop, Karahisarıdevle, Lâdik, Trabzon, Sivas, Sis) and world capitals (Constantinople, Cairo, Tabriz, Paris, Vienna, Naples, Milan, Granada, Barcelona, Skopje, Khanbaliq, etc.) have been de-stacked by 0.02°–0.15° within their cell boundaries to ensure 2D/3D map readability. - **Economic Index and Color Palette Completion**: Initial design indices have been entered for `cell138` (Ifriqiya · Hafsid: 62/5), `cell258` (Central Maghreb: 52/18), `cell282` (Fez and Far Maghreb: 58/6), and `cell430` (Java — Majapahit: 64/5), where the `prosperity` and `devastation` fields were missing in `cells.jsonl`;

the public treasury (`treasury`), monthly income (`monthly_income`), and monthly expense (`monthly_expense`) have been kept singular in the ruler's record. - **Completed Anatolian Decision Cards**: V0.5 decision cards have been added for the 7 Anatolian rulers who previously had no decision card in the `dossier` field (`iii-al-eddin-keykubad-2`, `karesi-bey-2`, `mahmud-bey-obano-lu`, `nusret-ddevle-ahmed-bey`, `ca-ddin-i-nan-mehmed-bey`, `ii-aleksios-komnenos`, `ii-hetum`). ### V0.6 Kipchak, Iranian, Balkan, and Mediterranean-Maghreb Field Armies and Decision Cards (MODEL) - **23 New Field Army Actors (`role: "army"`)**: Starting field forces for states in the Kipchak steppe (`alt-n-orda-saray-ordusu`, `nogay-bat-ulusu-ordusu`), Iran and Southern Arabia (`herat-kert-sefer-kuvveti`, `kirman-kutlu-hanl-kuvveti`, `res-l-yemen-ordusu`), the Balkans (`s-rp-krall-k-ordusu`, `bulgar-t-rnova-ordusu`, `bosna-banl-k-kuvveti`, `epir-despotluk-kuvveti`, `atina-d-kal-k-kuvveti`, `ahaya-mora-kuvveti`, `macar-krall-k-ordusu`), and the Mediterranean–Maghreb (`venedik-sefer-kuvveti`, `cenova-sefer-kuvveti`, `k-br-s-lusignan-kuvveti`, `napoli-anjou-ordusu`, `sicilya-krall-k-ordusu`, `aragon-tac-ordusu`, `kastilya-krall-k-ordusu`, `g-rnata-nasr-ordusu`, `mer-n-sefer-ordusu`, `hafs-tunus-ordusu`, `abd-lv-d-tilimsan-ordusu`) have been separated into independent army actors without duplicating public accounts;
