It's smart, but nobody is going to write Operas about dropping bombs, then returning to your airfield, without much enemy resistance.

A Canal which unlike the Suez from what I gathered can't handle the transport of such a large army.
Not to mention the Mameluks wouldn't allow you to pass without a strong reason.

Fighting the giant zombie army across the sea isn't a strong reason? Fairly sure the canal could handle it, it would just have to be a bunch of smaller transports opposed to a number of big ones.

Again I ask what reason would the Mughals have to fight it when they probably have enemies close to home.
The fact you also sent 1.5 Million Men as well from what I gather makes me wonder why aren't your neighbours invading right now.

Because Iran is in deep economic shit and already being invaded, my southern neighbors are more primitive than I am, Taungoo is never going to g after me because I'm neutral with the Danish, and the Nepalese are just.... chilling.

When you sent pretty much your whole army I think such factors wouldn't really matter.

I got a subsidy for it, and still had 500,000 men. If absolutely necessary, I could raise up another army.

Countless times we've stated it hasn't been adapted for modern tonnage. It was built for galleys and shit for the 17th century from the last game, its why Mamluks need to build a Suez now. Seriously know your shit before you jump on your high horse.

Incoming coup d'etat because their Sultan sent 1.5 million men on a long assed naval journey to save christians for no reason.

Theravis hasn't said anything about it,
.... the 6 million unused manpower?
I have 8 million total manpower, it's not an issue.
huh, what do you know.
Wut.
you know, saving christians isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Muslim attitude is, at this time period, "silly christians need to get with the times and revere Mohammed".

That hundreds of miles away from Mughal Territory, as well as against their rival Muslim empire.

Smaller ships, and excluding some of the bigger modern ships.
That does not exclude troop transports.

This metaphor got lost somewhere, I'm afraid, though I agree with the underlying principle.

You're going to send 1.5 million men on 17th century flytes.
It's like you're not even perceiving the practicality of the shit you're saying, and just rapidfiring excuses for yourself.

I think the Ashanti will welcome there French overlords very well.

They could have gotten off in Egypt, overlanded to Alexandria, and taken Mamluk transports to Italy.
Thought admittedly, I didn't really consider the logistics either.

..... why specifically 17th century flytes?
I'm not saying they would just sail through, it'd be a complicated endeavor. But it is still entirely possible.
