Icelandic Jerusalem is amazing.

Since they will inevitably get Jihaded into the sea I hope that afterwards the Icelanders will keep the Kingdom of Jerusalem title in Iceland and colonise, resulting in a levantine New Jerusalem in the Americas.

The sun never sets on the Moroccan Empire.

For all our ambitions of Iberia being a colonial power, Morocco really has us beat on every front. We're barely even colonising Louisiana - it might be worth spinning off an interior Colonial nation.

Alternatively going for Indonesia might be more profitable.

Iberia in 1836:





Al Andalus is at it's peak, obviously.

Before anyone panics, this is obviously a joke. The Majlis is gonna be wiped out long before 1836.

We still own the Baleares. We're still up from CK2 and we've got some room to go downward.

I wonder what happened to turn Provence from a merchant Republic to a monarchy. In game I assume low Republic Tradition which switched it to a Republican dictatorship and then a govt change to a monarchy (I don't know if that's possible, Ive never played a Republican dictatorship for long since it seems like the worst of both worlds) but i wonder what the narrative would be. Something like one merchant dynasty monopolizing trade until they had hegemonic levels of control over the city?

France-England might actually end up being a hotbed of nationalism all through the 19th century like AH was.

Are the English around as a distinct ethnicity in this world? Or is England pretty much French or Irish at this point?

C Let's face it, the Majlis was a mess but honestly the Jizrunids were worse and the biggest mistakes of the Majlis tended to be driven by its attempts to topple kings who were genuinely insane.

Honestly 22 infamy is pretty much no impediment when we've got cores on the entirety of our targets, since we can take everything infamy free.

I guess we should probably avoid colonial expansion for a while but that's the only impact really.

Does colonisation give you a lump prestige sum when it completes? I know it does in Vicky1 (to the point where colonising then selling the colony to someone in exchange for more colonial claims to colonise is a good strategy.

More to the point, focusing on Africa is kind of dumb when Khmer and Palembang are RIGHT THERE and are far more attractive targets, but whatever.

Actually yeah this is a good point. We should look into expanding into South East Asia as well. And the Pacific, for good measure.

Al-Andalus has a serious problem with appointing colonial governors who go rogue and start building local powerbases as soon as they hit the continent.

We have to start vetting or something.

I think there was a Victoria Revolutions to HoI2 converter that was built into Vicky.

Of course, HoI2 was built on finely crafted rails so there wasn't a whole lot to do in the output it created.

For the Caribbean, there could maybe be an option for the Morrocans to reach out and ally with the Hishamis in Jamaica and, if they somehow gain victory (i.e. by player intervention because it's unlikely to happen any other way) restore them to power in Ibriz.

Morrocco's equivalent of the deal with the devil event chain is making an agreement with the Jizrunids, who are still hanging out in Malta hoping everyone has forgotten about them.

We've actually gained a lot out of this war, just not in terms of direct territory - Western Europe and North Africa is a direct client of Al-Andalus, and we've secured our hegemony over two of our ancestral enemies with healthy buffers between.

We didn't even get a nuking to boot, because Germany took it for us.
