At this rate "becoming the Sultan" is going to end up being a euphemism for impending doom.

New Taifas

For now, my vote lies with the Taifas. Aragon seems like they're gearing up to start something, egged on by the French, so we need to be ready for a land war.

I, Qasim al-Cyrahzax of the glorious and unopposable Taifas, propose that we focus our efforts in annexation on the three westernmost Christian kingdoms of Iberia: Portugal, Galicia and Leon.

These realms are the weakest of our neighbors and the most vulnerable to direct military force: we must crush them before greater Christian kingdoms, France especially, decide to interfere with them. Every Christian king in Iberia is threat and a wild card- it's intolerable!

I, Shoota al-Boy, place my support behind the noble al-Cyrahzax. We must push the infidels back from the seas, so we might crush them against the mountains!

This last war has shown me many things. It has shown me that while our armies and our nation are mighty, they are not ready to stand toe to toe with the French infidel's men. The New Taifa's had their successes yes, but it is clear that we are lacking. We must wait and prepare. Building up to the day when we might find a weakened foe, ready to be brought down. War is inevitable, but our defeats here showed a flaw in our armies, we lack the money to back multiple mighty hosts at once, as is the custom in the northern realms. With that troubling revelation in my head, I have chosen.


I, Emir Shoota al-Boy, formally declare my backing of the League of Merchants. We will grow our coffers, we will build vast hosts of men, and then we will take our vengeance upon the French infidel!

Proposing the Naval Superiority Policy: Develop the size and power of our navy so that it exceeds that of our strongest plausible naval rival. Consider this auto-withdrawn if we're already the strongest naval power in the area.



I shall place my support behind this. While I do believe that seeking new lands is needed, I also believe that without the ability to protect those distant lands they are as good as worthless.

Proposing the Grand Alliance policy: cultivate at least two military alliances, at least one of which must be with a Muslim power.

ETA: Advisory note, prioritize rivals of our adversaries (esp. France) as potential allies.



I, Emir Shoota al-Boy, place my power behind this proposal.

I, Emir Shoota al-Boy, formally pledge my families allegiance to the Taifas.

My grandfather stood with them, while my father supported the Merchants. While I feel there is still much to be made of the unexplored, I feel that now is the right time to strike back against the northern infidels, and drive them from our lands! We defeated their Italy and proven ourselves able to equal them, now we must show ourselves to be superior!

I propose continued military research and maintenance, since it worked out well last time.
