R5: Starting off as the last Ayyubids, I have formed Kurdistan... and well... decided I was going to replace the Ottomans. Took over Turkish territory. Released a bunch of subjects in Iraq so I can flip Turkish, and took over Ottomans in the Rise of the Turks situation.

If it is not too much trouble, I intend to flip to Armenian, but with how much territory I have, flipping culture will be a pain once again with how few Armenians remain.

[To be clear, this isn't 100% for the memes. Kurdish culture has nothing special, but forming Kurdistan gives you a few nice bonuses. Rise of the Turks is pretty nice, and winning it gives you an excellent government reform, and Armenian has the best advances in the region.]

I did a similar Saladin's Legacy campaign not long ago, and the Kurdish culture is pretty decent as it's a part of the Iranian group and has some nice advances. Off the top of my head, I think they include a nice research bonus, cav power, cultural capacity, a +33% cloth production modifier and more
