Seriously, cores are super important in Vicky. The CB you get for conquering your own cores requires much less warscore to demand in a war than a war on conquest on unclaimed land, allowing us to annex a lot more land in one war. Plus, however big of an infamy hit we take from option A, it's almost certainly (barring some incredible luck) going to be far less than we'd get from trying to justify each state in Qattalun individually.

e: plus there's no way to gain or lose cores except through events

Seriously, this is less of a vote for our country’s decision on this issue and more of a test of loyalty to the Al Andalus.

Anyways, it’s still Moroccan, but we have cores on it. I asked Hashim about this earlier.

No matter what we're walking away with cores on the entire peninsula which, as others have said, is the real important part. Land we can just go conquer whenever, it's cores that are precious.

Cores over the entire peninsula will come with time, regardless of the option chosen. This is mostly a choice between having the cores from the get-go and suffering diplomatically for it, or expanding much slower via fabrication and getting the cores later.

I'm not sure what kind of events Hashim will have set up, but fabricating CBs alone will give us most of the big infamy hit. It'll take 15 years to burn off the infamy most likely, but it's worth it for cheaper conquest the rest of the game. A

Cores are impossible to get except via decision or event, so they're very valuable. Infamy can be whittled down by staying at peace for a few years, the issue here is that starting with a big infamy hit with isolate us diplomatically, since very few countries will be willing to ally us.

Unless A gives us over 25 infamy (the infamy cap, at which point everyone in the world will declare a Containment war on you and totally wreck your poo poo), it's going to be the better choice. The amount of infamy you get for fabricating a conquest CB on a single state is RNG, but it could be as high as 22 points per state. An independent Qattlun is going to be made up of at least 2 states, and possibly a third. An independent North Iberian country is probably going to be an amalgam of 3 states.

Add in the fact that we'd have to take the states one at a a time if we go the justification route while we'd be able to take em all in one war with cores up front and it's a no-brainer.

The max for demanding a single state is 11 infamy, not 22 (that would be for fabricating a conquest CB).

edit: oops, that's pretty much what you said, so never mind. Disregard this.

but if we are going to get cores by event later, it's not so big a deal - if we can start off with Northern Iberia under our control, with cores on Moroccan Iberia and the opportunity to gain cores on Catalonia later through event without infamy, that is a better starting position

He didn't say that they would come by event. Could very well be a decision that we can take after we eat them for full infamy to get cores.

From how Hashim phrased it, it sounds like if we don't get the cores now, we're only getting them after we conquer the areas via fabrication.

Pretty sure he's talking about the cores which you naturally get via random events after researching state & nationalism or whatever it's called, which requires you to own the provinces already.
