The Historical Hegemon Series
Volume 16 - Mzab
Chapter Fourteen - Alliance with Portugal
1 Jan, 1469 – I invite a scholar for 20 years from the Shafi’I school that gives me another merchant that I send to collect in Safi
I make 0.56 there
8 Feb – Mission is up, next is North Atlantic Coast
5 July – Tatauine converts! Next is Sirt
11 Aug- Exploration mission finished, next is the Caribbean Sea
I pull my Moroccan Spy network to make nice with Portugal, they are riveled to Morocco and have a positive view of us. I’d love to bring them in with an alliance
12 Sept – Juthra converts! Next is Hodna
1 Dec – With a 61 I pull my diplomat from Castile and make nice with Air
7 Jan, 1470 – Royal Marriage with the Turks.
4 Feb - Portugal has entered a Golden Era
1 Mar -Granada cannot be a rival anymore, next I choose my only option, Genoa
21 October – Exploration done, next is nothing, I need a new base to explore like Tenerife
8 Nov – I now have more ships built to get to my naval force limit of 16,I need 20 to get my Mission.
Here’s my ships:
5 Early Carrack Big Ships – the tanks
3 Barque Light Ships – these protect trade or pirate
3 Galleys that are galley type
5 Cogs – Transports
Total – 16
10 Oct – Tripoli converts! Next is Kabylia
7 Nov – Event – Build a Great Palace – I spend 23 cash and get 10 prestige and 20 legitimacy
22 Nov – Aragon is at war with the big three and I decline military access because I don’t want them in Tunis.
2 Dec – Portugal is willing to enter into an alliance!
Here, see:
They love my navy, mutual rivals, and I need an ally to check Morocco that’s closer and can stuff on time to the big three. They are also allied with Castile so hopefully they won’t attack Tenerife after it’s built up.
Portugal’s Army – 15k.

17 Dec -I decline military access request from Castile who are also at war with the big three.
