Frionnel posted:Either we give them rights or bring them to Islam, this status quo promoted by the merchants will lead us to disaster. Hmm, you're right. This has to end somewhere, and fast! I, Lutfi al-Uthman of the New Taifas, hereby propose that in order to stave off any further rebellion we are to acknowledge and formalise the Dhimmi's rights before the Sultan, as well as the rights of any Qarbiyan Dhimmi that may arise due to the Merchants' efforts in the west. The rights of worship and language of all Dhimmi are to be protected in return for loyalty and a standard Jizya tax. Let Humanism become the future for Al-Andalus!

I, al-Paragonia of the Merchants, propose that we extend rights to the other peoples of Iberia by accepting their cultures. Surely some common ground (and profit) can be found? Rebellions are expensive.

I Slaan al-Andalusi move that we improve our Diplomatic tech up to par with the majority of nearby powers. We cannot convert souls to the True Faith unless we are able to speak to them. We cannot do this without learning the newest methods of speech and writing or having access to the people of foreign nations

I, Snipee of the Ulama, propose the Preservation of Islam Act prohibiting the acceptance of any Christian cultures within our borders . We must prepare to convert the Christians as soon as possible or else they will one day outnumber the faithful Muslims of Iberia and transform our uniquely Islamic country into yet another Christian kingdom. How many wars have we fought against the Christians to maintain our small safe haven for Muslims in Western Europe? How many times have we bled to keep the Crusaders from slaughtering our people? The short-term benefits of tolerating heresy today will be outweighed by the long-term costs of losing our identity and slipping into inevitable moral decline. It is foolish to believe that we can put an end to separatism by allowing for the persistence of alien cultures that will always regard themselves as separate from Al Andalus. If nothing else, this attitude of appeasement towards the Christians betrays a pathetic insecurity in the strength of our own culture! Our ancestors would weep if they knew how far we have fallen to even consider abandoning our religion. Snipee fucked around with this message at 23:15 on May 24, 2017 |

All of the policies submitted so far are perfectly fine, but just so the Ulema know, you'll be able to un-accept cultures once (if) you get into power.

sheep-dodger posted:Hashim: don't know if you want to give it away, but do we have a +tolerance to heathens idea coming up in our national ideas similar to vanilla Granada? Nope, no tolerance ideas, but I might change one or two depending on how the game progresses. As for the Idea Group, I just pick them based on what faction is in power whenever the tech for it rolls around. For example, if the Taifas are in power next time, then I might pick Defensive or Offensive Ideas, if it's the Ulema then religious, and something related to Trade or Humanism if it's the Merchants. It all really depends on the policies submitted over the past few sessions. hashashash fucked around with this message at 23:32 on May 24, 2017 |

Lord Cyrahzax posted:What, we can't join the Loyalists? Hakam is just about everything I want from a Sultan! Jizrunid Loyalists will be a new faction when the next Majlis Meeting rolls around, it won't be very related to the Taifas though, they'll advocate for greater powers for the Sultan, no matter what his personality is.

I propose The Trade Optimization and State Revenue Act, which entails that the administration of the provinces of Lixbuna and Isbiliya (Lisbon and Seville) should be handed over to the Burgher estate. This will greatly increase our trade power in the Seville trade node and allow us to collect a larger portion of the money flowing in from the rest of the world.

Dip tech primarily deals with increasing trade efficiency, colonisation range and global settlers, and it also unlocks the trade and naval-related buildings, as well as new ship types.

The highlights from levels 7 to 10 are a big boost to our colonization range at level 7, more settlers per year at level 10, and better ship types for every category (Heavy, light, galley and transport) at 9 and 10. Edit: level 8 also allows us to have an additional accepted culture, i figure the merchants will like this too. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 01:54 on May 25, 2017 |
