    The Sahara Desert turns green when you bless the rains down in Africa a little _too_ much

Mamelukes didn't have much new territory from the ottomans but they did have the ability to survive the ottoman yoke and they too went into Australia and Indonesia. That game was crazy, the poles even stole Constantinople.
