1 Jan, 1491 – Figuig converts! Next is Oujda

13k Rebellion in Meknes

1 Feb – Our peace treaty with Portugal is over after they broke our alliance, now we can attack each other I would win but for their allies of Castille and England so that won’t be happening soon

3 March – Mers el Kabir converts! Next is Sale

1 April – New Tech:

MIL TECH 8 - Pike and Shot – We get +0.25 infantry fire, +0.80 cavalry shock and we can build regimental camps.

3 April – We arrive in Meknes

10 April – We win

20 May – Melilla converts, next is Tetouan

1 June – Our diplomat in Portugal was discovered

Our ruler gains the Benevolent trait, which gives us -5% loyalty desire in subjects

1 Aug – Algoas – Algerian, Ibadi, Brazil, 9 dev, Coffee grown here, Drylands coast, 0.40 made here, I order these colonists to Ilhaus – two down from Sergipe, 7 dev with Cocoa, next to tribe in Bahia.

1 Sept – New Expansion Idea #3 – Faster Colonists - +20% colonial growth!

15 Sept – Natives in Ilhaus taken out

25 Sept – Exploration mission finished next is Atlantic South America Coast

In not good news Portugal is at war with Morocco, that’s not good for the home team

6 April, 1492 – We finish our Exploration Mission, next is nothing we are fully explored!

1 July – I accept a Royal Marriage offer from Jolof

1 Dec – Sergipe – 11 dev Cocoa, Drylands, Brazil, next to Bahia, Ibadi and Algerian making us 0.38. I send this colonist north of Pernambuco and up the coast to Paraiba a 7 dev Sugar province

Government Reform – Next is State and Religion

I have five choices, these are the ones I like:

Strengthen the Ulema - +1.5 Missionary strength, better Ulama relations

Curtail Clerical Privileges - -10% Admin tech costs, -10% Ulema relations

Expand Temple Rights – Mosques and upgrades give +33% taxes and -2 unrest

Pretty strong. Better missionaries, tech and make Mosques and their upgrades better.

I choose Expanded Temple Rights because I need that cash, North Africa is so poor.
