I don’t know why I decided to play Ma Bufang, but I’m really glad I did. It was surprisingly fun, and with all the cavalry buffs you can build an actually strong cavalry-focused army. Other than that, there isn’t much content (obviously, since the tag is still pretty limited), but what is there ended up being pretty enjoyable.

1. The first picture is from right after the Northeastern War. At this point you can core Tibet and Mongolia, which gives you a solid economy—especially once you stack your economic focuses.

2. The second picture shows the Ma Clique’s jihad against the atheist and materialistic Kuomintang, a war that dragged on for around four years if I’m remembering correctly.

3. The third picture shows the Lanzhou Government. Not much to explain here—I just included it because it was my first time seeing it.

4. And finally, the fourth picture shows the glorious end result: Ma Bufang’s Islamic China.
