Liking this, but I don't think point 2 there needs its entire own slot, you can just tack it on as a qualifier to 1. In its place I'd put something like "If an opportunity presents itself for an easy war against France (e.g. they're losing a major land war, have rebel problems), go kick them around a bit". Except made all official sounding, of course.

 Our navy should also be able to challenge for control of the Strait of Gibraltar so Morocco doesn't get any ideas (and allowing us to execute our own ideas).

Voting for this, we need quick and easy colonies before trying to go toe to toe with great or major powers again. I do think the two should be flipped in priority, since fighting Portugal will likely mean another go with the celts if they are still defender of the faith.

The Moroccan Matter 1. Declare war on Morocco with the primary intent of seizing Tangiers and Ceuta (thus consolidating our control of access to the Med and creating a permanent beachhead for future wars) and secondarily any particularly juicy other land the Regency wishes be it core or colony. 2. Having seized these two spaces, construct forts on them.

The Ulema would be a better coalition partner, us Taifas have approximately zero reason to form a coalition with anybody. And beyond that I think it's just against the rules in general. E: Beaten

  I propose the If you can't beat them, join them edict. In order to head off the Sunni rebels, we do the one thing that will stop them dead in their tracks and convert back to the Sunni branch of Islam.

Hashim What does our alliance situation look like? How much do the Moroccans actually hate us right now? How many Universities do we have built? What's our tech situation look like compared to our neighbors? Contemplating a "Maximize all tech levels, build stuff" type of bill, or seeking an alliance with one of our sadly now traditional foes. That way we only have to fight TWO great powers when the Taifas inevitably go full gently caress force with merchant backing. paragon1 fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Oct 16, 2017 |

paragon1 posted:Hashim What does our alliance situation look like? How much do the Moroccans actually hate us right now? Our mil tech is as good or very close to our neighbours' (we're one tech behind France, on par with Morocco and Provence), but we're slightly behind on admin and dip. We also have 3 or 4 universities - in Cadiz and other well-developed provinces. Our alliances are Bavaria and Liege, though neither are eager to join us in any offensive wars just yet (plus, we're in a regency for a few years). And Morocco detests us, no chance we'll be able to salvage anything from them.

Rodyle posted:As a point of order: Hashim posted:Crap, didn't read it properly I guess. Sorry AJ_Impy (I know you've tried this before). Counterpoint: They aren't stupid, they're in a rapidly diminishing minority, and religious upheaval is looking more and more likely: Hashim posted:Policy Restrictions It's a genuine solution to a genuine problem. By promoting religious unity and making a few minor concessions, we stave off the muslim against muslim, Andalusi against Andalusi, brother against brother bloodshed that threatens to wash the peninsula. All it takes is humility and submission in the face of Allah instead of hardheadedness and mortal pride. Let the motion stand, there's little else that can truly help us at this time.

I, Chatrapati ibn Chatrapati, would seek out to those who have glimpsed Allah through their meditations and dances, let our new Sultan bask in the energies of the faithful as he leads Al-Andalus towards unity with God. Administrative advisors must be theologians, and no diplomatic advisors can be spymasters or traders.

I would like to submit the French conversion act for this body's approval. 1. The crown shall fund rebels and missionaries in the French mainland. If they find religious rebellions, then so can we. 2. The crown shall do the same in the land connections between our Gharbian colonies

Simmer Down, People We've spent far too long dealing with our own people getting pissed at us and trying to kill us. We need to do everything we can to keep this poo poo from happening, because it's a huge pain in the rear end to put down rebels when we're dealing with other poo poo.
