Well this looks to be an interesting start. Anyways, since you don't have a banner, I decided to make one for you.  Does that look good? If not, I can adjust the size or you could go into MS Paint and adjust the image yourself. The image link is http://i.imgur.com/OUA34p7.png

CommissarMega posted:Such are the rewards of sin Muslims get a bunch of cool stuff. While piety is necessary for Muslims to access that stuff, it's not particular hard to come by if you know what you're doing. Going on Hajj gets you a lot of piety and just for having done so you get a permanent piety boost, iirc. Hashim was roleplaying when he decided to not do it, but in so doing so he locked himself out of some necessary piety. Joining the Ashari school of Islam also gets you piety, as well as a permanent boost to piety. Also, while piety for most religions only impresses your church vassals, Muslims don't have vassals and instead it impresses all of your vassals. Having 1000 piety (a very large amount) gives access to a very powerful casus belli - Invasion. Most casus belli target only a county or a duchy, but the Muslim Invasion CB targets an entire kingdom. Getting the Child of Satan event isn't as powerful for Muslims as it is for Christians as Christians aren't as reliant on piety as Muslims are. (Catholics only really need piety to bug the Pope for favors and cash, for other Christians piety is kind of unless besides impressing your clergy). One last thing on CBs: Muslims only need 50 piety for the county conquest CB, which targets a county without needing to fabricate a claim and only has a five-year truce instead of a ten-year truce. However, our dear child of Iblis could have wreaked havoc if his true father had turned him to a heresy of Islam, thus giving him the Holy War CB on everyone. (The flipside of that is that everyone can declare war on him.) There's other stuff, but basically, because our character had low piety due to his traits and roleplaying, he wasn't able to use Islam's power to the fullest. tl;dr: Muslims are powerful but Hashim chose not to get easy piety, which is fine.

As a matter of fact, the Voice of Jesus modifier does interact with the Child of Satan event, or at least it did for me. To quote a poster whose name I cannot recall, Jesus and Satan must have some sort of time share agreement when it comes to the child of destiny.

Is it me or does Italy take North Africa WAY too often. I swear every Charlemagne game the Lombards take Tunis by 800AD every game. As for Kiev, in vanilla iirc, all the Russian dukes have claims on each other, so if things are the same in CK2+, some duke might have gotten lucky.

Nope. Muslims have no tech disadvantages against Christians in the 1066 startdate, iirc, and in earlier ones they have an advantage. The tech disparity does grow on the later startdates, but most people don't play those. Tech isn't that important in CKII, and it's easy to get tech points if you park your spymaster on a high tech province. There a few key techs here and there but overall it's not something you should be super worried about. Here's some more information if you're interested: http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Technology#Starting_technology

You're winning a lot of battles against superior numbers, does CK2+ improve the power of the martial stat in combat? In vanilla, all that seems to matter is the terrain and the number of good troops.

The Jizrunids are going to spend an entire year holed up in their castles while their entire population dies around them. It's not going to be fun. Edit: Funny thing is that the Black Death used to be hilariously weak. It would spawn in some random place and die out six months later. I made a mod to make it more deadly (possibly a little too much) and about a year later Paradox added the Reaper's Due, which also increases the power of the Black Death. TRD also adds the prosperity system, which rewards you for keeping your lands clear of disease, war, and raiders by increasing your tax income and giving you special events to permanently improve provinces. The Black Death destroys prosperity, leaving you tax starved and making it difficult to support large armies. Mr.Morgenstern fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Feb 26, 2017 |

So as part of the secret LP cabal (which does not exist), I was able to preview the end of the CK2 section and EUIV scenario and I have to say, Aztecs invading Al-Andalus and forcing the Jizrunids to flee to Ireland (which was made Sunni), having the Aztecs massacre all of mainland Europe and then all die of smallpox has led to this really interesting Dark Continent Scenario where the Jizrunids are going to have to compete with other powers to colonize Europe. It's really cool.

I propose the Our Place in the Sun Act. This act is aimed at curbing the power of our southern neighbors, with two directives: 1. We must declare war against the Moroccans and not stop until 100% warscore is reached, with the Moroccans losing land by whatever means necessary, whether by releasing nations, returning cores, or us taking land from them. 2. We must only declare it when no Great Power will come to Morocco's aid.

I'm amending the Our Place in the Sun Act, now it only requires a 50% warscore against Morocco. This will give us a little more leeway in case things go south, but still require us to hurt Morocco. I am allowed to do this, right?

Northwest Africa was lost to Catholic Arabs. So it's not particularly great for Islam. ByzLP went alright for Islam, I think. Speaking of, y'all remember the Deluge? That was a good time.
