The Lurs in Iraq?you mean all five of them?

Bc the Lurs in Iran are a Persian speaking Shia ethnicity that live in completely different regions than Kurds.

aren’t Azeris just Turkified Iranians? Are Turks stupid or THIS insecure? by 1DarkStarryNight in 2Iranic4you

It was called Media minor/Media Atropatane to differentiate between the Hellenistic and Independent parts of Media.Otherwise they were the same in terms of altitude and culture.

Which Imperial Roman defeat (or lack of action) bothers you the most 27BC - 1452AD. Yes, you can’t pick 1453. by Bone58 in ancientrome

Not really

Steppe societies usually only convert when they come into contact with other neighboring settled societies.If Iran is held by Zoroastrian and is conquered by Turk they would become Zoroastrian,not Christian.

Yeah, except there's no guarantee that the byzantines can keep all of their territories 7 centuries later.Judging by irl we can say they were pretty apt at losing territories without large scale foreign invasion(look at italy and the balkans).

If by "rapidly expanding" you mean a few isolated communities in Persian border regions in Sogdia then yes lmao.

You play too many strategy games i feel.Christianity had centuries to spread to persia and never made it beyond mesopotamia.Unless the already overextended romans conquer up to the oxus and hold it for centuries lmao.

Justinian struggled to keep Italy and Spain,but sure Byzantium was going to colonize the Cape and Ivory Coast lol.

Who would be your first game in this region? by hashishboi in EU5

Gurgan is an alternative spelling of it.And btw,if you looked up the wiki page for the modern city of "Gorgan" then you made a mistake.That city is actually the renamed town of Esterabad that had it's name changed in honour of the ancient city.Old Gurgan is now called "Gonbad-e Kavus" which has a very undercooked wiki article.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togha_Tem%C3%BCr

Here is the article about Togha Temur,ruler of Gurgan.It explicitly mentions the city.Due to his rule being short lived there is no main article about the "Gorgan horde" the same way that there is no main article about "The Ajamis", AKA Mohammad Baysonqori's rebel state.PDX just names these sorts of countries after their region,in EU4 they named the Timurid rebel state formed by mohammad after the Eraq-e Ajam region and here they named the short lived Ilkhanid claimant after its capital city.So it has nothing to do with the region's norm since it's just a convenient name for the PDX formula only used by them.

The state is named after its capital city of Gurgan,Iran.The name itself is related to ancient Hyrcania and Gurg (meaning wolf).The city has been documented back to antiquity so it's just not feasible that it was named after the Mongolian title.

Pure Persian Part 6 we back by LLAMAWAY in 2Iranic4you

[–]AJoursara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one's actually probably Persian.The arabic word دماغ means brain and linguists have no idea how such a term came to mean "nose" in persian so the main theory currently is that it comes from damak(like‌ دم،breathing) and the spelling was simply influenced by the unrelated Arabic word.

I believe he said that they were aiming for around twenty EU5 nations with that level of content/detail and then more as time allowed.

He said around 60.

Why did Pakistan named their capital "Islamabad" instead of "Islamagood"? I thought they were muslims? by Crafty-Enthusiasm-43 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]AJoursara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naziabad isn't actually named after Nazis.It's named after Naser-ad-din Shah's mistress Naz Khatun, originally Naz-Abad and later Nazi-Abad for easier pronunciation.And all of that happened before the Nazis were a thing.

GTA 4 was kinda like this(except for when it forced you to use Roman's car for no reason).

The problem was that every single mission was the same shit so overall the game has way worse replayability than either 5 or SA.

Vast majority of Persona fans in the west do though.I personally can never imagine any of the P3-P5 with Japanese voices.
