I order all of my non-mercenary troops to stand down and move my mercs to Corsica and a boat off Corsica. Mercs has a decent upkeep, but a stiff sticker price. What I intend to do is to use them against the HRE for my war for Sardinia. I'll look at Sinai later, after I've gotten everything in order.
The other reason I'm pushing Sardinia now is becuase I'm 61 and I lose my claims when I die on Arborea and Cagliari
In the meantime, i create the Duke fo Sinai title and hand everythign away
