I've been playing CK2 since it came out, but I feel like I'm missing out on some pro tricks that WC players use. Can anyone recommend any videos for advanced strategies, specifically with feudalism?

New Taifas

We have scores to settle. Before we escape to new lands we need to secure our rightful place at home.

edit: Can we have huge dumb arguments like in the Crete LP? Pleeeeeaaaase?

I, Emir Flavius al-Belisarius, who is totally not a Roman, support Emir al-Cyrahzax's proposal to invade the Western Christians.

For our great party's second policy, I, Emir Flavius al-Belisarius, who is totally not a Roman, propose a nation-wide investment in temples.

My reasoning is two-fold: 1) It is for the glory of Allah that we commit to this jihad, and we must honor Him. 2) Temples not only bring the support of the imams, but also help organize our taifas for more efficient taxation (the most halal form of income) to better support God's armies.

I love that you've resisted the urge to take over all of Spain so far, but now in this timeline it kind of irks me that we don't have control over our peninsula. So I'm all for that, although in this game purposely trying to abut France is kinda :pants:

Are the Celts people of the book or pagans?

Flavius Aetass

I, Emir Flavius al-Belisarius of the Taifas, who is totally not a Roman, support Lutfi al-Uthman's plan to keep our alliance with the Celts.

All of you who are supporting this barracks initiative: you are correct that a Muslim boy's place is on the battlefield, defending our land from the Christians. Yet, when given a choice, why would we choose to spend our resources on recruiting more of our own when the Christians are fractured and more than ready to spill their own blood against each other? This alliance strengthens us and weakens all of Christendom in the West. We must keep the priests from dissolving it.

I also urge the Merchants to turn away from their trinkets for a moment to give this thought.

I propose the al-Helladid was a Populist Act. These rebellions threaten us during times of war. Filthy opportunists bite at our heels while the infidel marches to our gates. We must stamp out rebellious tendencies in the disloyal provinces by any means necessary.

I, Emir Flavius al-Belisarius, who is totally not a Roman, propose that we take ideas and idea groups related to the quality of our soldiers as soon as possible, and support this by hiring a military advisor.

Frionnel posted:

I don't know how you want the first part of this to work when Hashim already said he picks idea groups based on what faction is in power, and it's not the Taifas. The second part alone is really tame to be our single motion.

Because I trust the Sultan to see the wisdom of our suggestion.

Hashim posted:

If that proposal passes, I'll probably just try to increase army tradition and discipline, as well as hire a military advisor. Another idea group won't roll around for the next couple sessions anyways, but if it did, then it would go to the Merchants.

These are all good things that we don't have right now, so I still strongly encourage my fellow Taifas to support this proposal.

Hashim posted:


The wound was a very close call, with the blade missing Hakam’s heart by inches. Unfortunately, however, a deathly fear of battle was instilled into the Sultan from that point onwards. Hakam immediately left his army and returned to Toledo, leaving his brother to crush the remnants of the rebellion.

I, Emir Flavius al-Belisarius, who is totally not a Roman, propose the Father Cares for Children Act. I encourage the council to yield authority to our beloved Sultan, long may he reign, to focus on improving the prosperity of Greater al-Andalus within the borders his wise father declared to be our charge in the eyes of the Prophet. Let us leave Morocco for the dogs and France to give itself away. We finally have Iberia for ourselves. Let us let our Sultan focus his benevolent hand on it.
