Namely the Timurds, Mamaluks, etc. the mameluks are pretty much done for, they were in civil war for my entire turn, and with aragon+us and threats from other muslim nations i see no way they could stabilize and pose a serious threat, the worst the timurids could do is push us back out of jerusalem, bad but not really a disaster. | ||

I just think that, logically, Italy should be fought over right now rather than the extremely shitty and poor Middle East. I mean, if you capture Rome you get 100% Papacy relations for like, the entire game no matter what I believe. | ||

Also the papal state is already our ally and i didn't think walking over them without CB and taking a massive infamy hit was that great an idea so i took the best opportunity i could find, the conquest of jerusalem bonus is pretty damn great; +0,50 missionary (allows for a greater innovativeness without losing ability to convert) and +1% prestige/year. | ||

However, we don't really necessarily need to become Italy. There are many viable things to do now, so lets see what Psycho_Gemni comes up with. For example, there is also still that juicy core in Athens which is not yet reclaimed. i have convulsive spasms whenever i have unclaimed territory hurting my prestige, its like i neeeeed to capture it or i cant play on.

And in my opinion, you don't really have to finish as fast as the first two have. Take your time. I said in the OP something about 3 days, and still think that is a reasonable amount of time. So just play for another day, look how far you can get and what you can accomplish. | ||

Also, Northern africa has the disadvantage of being wrong culture group, wrong religion, and distant overseas. | ||

I'm pretty sure it was established in the mother thread that if a province is less than 250 units from the capital it can never be distant overseas. Our strategic position in the Mediterranean can surely facilitate rapid expansion in heathen North Africa, God willing. | ||

However, if we manage to control all of the mediterranean shore at one point, that is no longer a problem, since in that case we have a land connection to north africa. | ||
