About This Mod

This alternate way of history allows us to see what the world would have been like if, instead of one-third of Europe dying of the Black Death, 99 percent had died. Instead of Christian Europe colonizing and conquering the rest of the world, China and Muslims would fill the void. This time frame led to a significant delay in the colonization of the New World in the late 1600s and 1700s. China dominated much of the world and colonized the western coast of the New World. The Mughal Empire declined after the Sikh rebellion and the emergence of the Travancorean League in southern India. Ottoman domination in the eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Red Sea was absolute, but probably peaked. Western Muslim powers in Andalusia, Morocco, and Mali colonized the eastern coast of the New World. The great armies of the Northern Steppe vied for tribute, could any of them unite the Tatar lands and restore the Golden Horde? The Aborigines of the New World were besieged on both sides and mobilized to resist colonization, conquest and plague with the help of the subjugated Japanese.


The world uses the Islamic solar calendar (essentially the Gregorian calendar minus 621), so the game begins in 1180 (1801 AD) and ends in 1280 (1901 AD).


The mod is based on the great otherworldly story of Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt. You have more freedom to fill in the gaps for more interesting gameplay and plot.


For more interesting gameplay it is recommended to set a higher level of AI attack...
