They're High American, so they'll definitely be able to repel us unless we fully commit to that war. High American units are incredibly powerful, too.

They've not been the best ally in the past anyway honestly.

I'm genuinely curious where we're going next in the New World. Where does the lion share of our attention go? North America or South?

I am very much in favor of a war with Morocco for those islands after we retake what is rightfully ours in Iberia. gently caress them for being such traitors.

I, Ralepozozaxe, The Dalai Ullama, Propose the Brothers in Arm(enian)s Act. We should improve relations with the Armenians, get a royal marriage with them, ally them, and help them, whether with troops or moolah in any wars against the Crusaders of Egypt. For too long have the crusaders plagued the holy land, and now the Armenians are proving strong enough to kick them out. With our help, we cant rid the Levant and Egypt of these pests.

Proposing the New World Diplomacy Act: Form the best possible beneficial diplomatic relationship* with one of the mainland native empires west of our island colonies. We'll need their help to deal with the rest of the native empires and then I guess the Ulema can go try to convert them, why not.

The south of the continent is too sparsely inhabited for Islam to really take root... and for people to buy our stuff.

I should probably add that it isn't going to be possible to convert all the provinces to Islam, because unless the Ulema are in power our missionary strength is pretty lovely. I'll still be able to convert one or maybe two provinces if the coalition policy passes, but definitely not all.

That's fine, making a start is better than nothing and will help to put a damper on those who would rebel against our glorious Sultan, thus leaving him free to demonstrate the blessings of his Jizrunid lineage.

I'm inclined to go with TildeATH's proposal, but first I'm curious, how is France? Can we encourage rebellion there? If we could get Occitan separatists up that'd be great.

Voting with this. Manpower is something that we've always struggled with, and keeping a deep pool to stop clown cars ramming into is us of utmost importance.

Probably not. If they lose a war badly and their unrest spikes, then there's a chance, but they're not going to be losing wars anytime soon.

I oppose this course of action. The way the trade winds flow makes it much easier for trade to come into the Seville trade node.

Instead I propose the Southern Colonization Effort. We must colonize the southern continent and divert the trade back to Al-Andalus.

is the trade map, as you can see the only good part of North America is west of the Mississippi. Florida and the Thirteen Colonies are garbage for us and instead deliver trade to the bastards in France and the Celtic Isles.

edit: used an old trade map, what I said is still true though

William is simply factually correct in this. I'd forgotten the precise trade node map, but it is true that getting anything out of North America would be monumentally more effort than Central America/Carribean/South America.

We really have no incentive to gently caress with it.

why would we want an indefensible exclave in Italy when we could remove the dagger from our back?

If you're worried about Palermo so much you could always suggest vassalizing it. Without Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balears, any direct Italian possessions become difficult to defend anyway.
