It's only fair to re-pillage the items they pillaged from us.

Plus some more for all the hard work we had to do. ;)

At last, we will repay the accursed Berbers for every drop of blood they've spilled, every indignity we've been forced to suffer! Tangier and Marrakesh will fall, their empire across the sea will collapse, and every Almoravid will be hunted down like the beasts they are! We will have our vengeance, and all the world will have its justice!

Ok funny joke but come on where's the real update, there's no way something good ever actually happened to Al-Andalus.

Been meaning to post another map, and borders will probably be shifting around soon, so he's a look at the world of 1828:



The colours represent the official in-game coalitions, with red for Almoravid, yellowish/gold for Tirruni, and white for neutral (even if they're in a separate conflict). Still not happy with the font colours, but oh well. Also added to the update.

They've got the entire subcontinent of India to throw at us, the bottleneck is just how fast they can ship conscripts over.

Meanwhile our manpower is dry. Losing that battle to relieve Toledo really hurt, those troops were hard to replace.

On the other hand, we can run riot through North Africa for a few months. I've never played MotE, is there a "loot every last thing possible so that the war may feed itself" setting we can turn our troops to?

Holy poo poo, it may still happen yet but I was sure things were going down in flames. But drat it, if it does we're going to burn as much as possible down with us. What a roller coaster of an update.

"Immolate ourselves but at least set the rest of the world on fire too" has been pretty much the Andalusi MO for the past few centuries so yeah I don't expect to actually win but at least everyone's gonna suffer with us.

My dream is that we occupy all of morocco proper, but our soldiers are unable to return to the peninsula and they occupy all of our territory.

Then we can just trade!

I'm unconcerned. The Moroccans are decadent sots, and were rightly punished for invading Toledo. What is it that those crazy Christians say? Deus Vult? Well, that's heretical, but we shall defeat these Almoravid drunks all the same, insh'allah.

Especially as the Almorovids have no manpower left except that they can pull from the colonies. We could see a full on colonial collapse.

I did briefly consider holding votes for what could've happened in ROTW whilst Europe burns, but it seemed like way too much of a hassle for just 10 or so years, so I'll probably leave everything as it ended in EU4, maybe with a couple random events thrown in or something. There's likely going to a congress opening up Victoria 2 anyways, to help decide the fates of the defeated nations and reshape the post-war world, so that's where most of my attention (and effort) will be going. So if, for example, the Almoravids are defeated badly enough, then we (but mostly the other victors) will have a part in deciding what'll happen to their empire then.

Of course, the complete opposite will happen if we lose the war badly enough, like if Qadis is captured or something. In that case, it'll be down to the AI to decide what'll happen to Iberia.

I'm cool with DM fiat deciding what happened overseas, but this seems like a major inflection point in the history of the world. I feel like you should adjust results as you see fit without waiting on us Goons to gently caress it up.
