Nice to see that we're finally playing a Muslim power (apart from Wiz's Azerbaijan LP, I can't recall any other Islamic Paradox LPs), not so nice that our heir is apparently the Antichrist :v:

I really wonder if it's more common for smaller/muslim realms sometimes, because the only other time I've gotten it legit is as the Ibadi dude in the viking age bookmark in Marrakesh

Also dangit, I wish you'd have started earlier because there's a certain joy in fabricating claims in Ireland as a muslim; because of all the churches you can just ignore reforming it and gain a great powerbase early on with very little effort as you conquest through it.

The fact you sometimes lose it again doesn't really matter; Sunni irishmen is a goal worthy in of itself and as you well know, green is the colour of islam so claiming the emerald isle is just good religion.

Oh God, do this, if only so i could imagine the Surahs read in an Irish brogue.

Such are the rewards of sin :colbert:

EDIT: So this wouldn't be a completely useless post, what do Muslims get in exchange for piety being a necessary component for war? I mean, personally I'm genuinely pleased that in CK Islam doesn't allow for the minions of Iblis to screw around, but from a gameplay perspective losing such a competent commander can really put a crimp in your conquest that Christians don't have to suffer*.

Two questions:
1: Is it possible to reform the Son of Satan, especially as a Muslim? Like say, you send him on the Haj, pick all the most religious options etc.?
2: If I use console fuckery to give a Muslim ruler the Joan of Arc event, would she still fight for Christianity or does she convert?

If we're going to ensure a prosperous, powerful future for Al-Andalus, we must focus on the most important matter, and that is gaining the favour of Allah- after all, only if He does wills something to happen will it happen.

I, Du'ey, of the Ulama, propose that it should be the policy of the government to fund the building of a mosque in every province for the purpose of supporting the faithful.


I, Kasim bin Mukhtar of the Ulamas, support this motion. After all, in Surah Al-Haj, Verses 40-41, it is written:

quote:

Indeed God will help those who help Him. Indeed God is Exalted in Might, All-Powerful.

And they are those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakah and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to God belongs the outcome of all matters.

As distasteful as it may be to join up with France, it will be one of our closest threats. Even if we get Russia/Bavaria's support, they'll be too far away to help (or maybe even care) about our problems, especially if France decides to give us hell for voting against their interests. At the same time, if Morocco decides to start poo poo France is right there, capable of helping.

I've genuinely been trying to think up a good name for France-England once they get English as an accepted culture in vicky, and haven't gotten much further than 'Dual Monarchy' or something to do with unions. So who knows?

Gallia, maybe? Just how conservative are the ruling French anyway? I can certainly see a faction promoting some kind of pan-Gallic (Gaulic?) identity for France-England, especially as a counter to the Celtic influences of Ireland.
