New Management, same as the Old Management

Needs Roads to Power, and the wiki's route is Saladin (1178) doing everything at once: max your starting Mubarizun and Trebuchets, add three-plus maxed Pikemen regiments, subjugate the Sultanate of Rum (you must HOLD that title), conquer Constantinople, then swear fealty to Byzantium and take the Adopt Centralized Administration decision as an Islamic Rum owning the City of the World's Desire. The same decision as Epic Paperwork, from a much funnier angle.
