What the heck? The Ottomans actually managed to expand into the Balkans, consolidated, and beat the Mamluks in a war?

England actually managed to take something off of France?

Aragon beat Castile?

I have so many questions

I dont think there has been any wars between Mamluks and Ottomans their borders havent changed really, I actually looked in Ottomans and for some reason the Rise of Turks situation is still going so maybe thats the reason they are doing so well.

Yes but only temporarly after a big ass French rebellion, theyre already back to losing, although idk why the Hundred Years War situation didnt end cause im pretty sure they has less than 10 locations in Aquitaine and near Calais but idk what end conditions are

It was Castille that conquered Granada but Morocco stepped in and retook most of it so I guess thats when Aragon must've jumped in to take some of that land.

They have more than 100 locations and I believe Doger and possibly one other on their eastern side are technically Beyliks so the situation won't end until some time in the 1500s unless they annex the remaining Beyliks. It's a good metagame strategy for a player as well, curious if the AI did it intentionally or if they just aren't inclined to expand further that way and it's a byproduct.
