Being big and unstoppable does not necessarily last for too long. Look at West Rome that stretched from Morocco to Berlin, where is it now? Or All the Russias which at one point extended further than pre-WWII Soviet, where are its glories? Being big is being a target, if diplomacy fails al-Andalus/Bavaria and they are brought low who will benefit without causing imbalance within the presumed coalition? The French and Croats.
When the Gaelic people of Ireland and the followers of Crom are done with him there will be no Iberia.
Methinks the Dar al-Islam is too large. I want Rome to do really, really well now, because its quite frankly surrounded, especially if Russia seizes Transarmenia. Death to the Khalifa al-Fatimiyya! Death to All the Spains! Russia needs to eat Croatia and Germany needs to seize the Baltic coast!
Go Rome!
Soooo... I don't suppose you're up for a permanent peace treaty in which you give me that last province in France, the Loire king title and I guarantee your independence?
mmm....rome got annexed byegyptian infidelsGlorious and Righteous Imperial Papal Fatimid Caliphate, M'kay?
Rome as the city got ransacked by the Muslims
I said Rome because "west rome" was obviously Fake Rome. East Rome is Rome. Rome the city is Rum nowadays
Dar al-Islam is far from large! There are still alot of areas that havent seen the light yet!
The Arabs just conquered the Caucasus, the Caspian shores, the Volga-Ural, all the Mediterranean Isles, northern Iberia, Italy and France. Can't we chill for a bit now?
*puts on caliph hat* But those "Arabs" are Catholics! Infidels! Traitors!
"....I think you were blown golly..."
or was it the wrong conversation...
*Puts the TWBW conspiracy hat on* HRE, HRE...the biggest nations are forming de facto powerblock and claiming that it don't exist but it does!!
*Puts the realistic, objectivity hat on* HRE, HRE...
*puts on caliph-pope-emperor hat* Technically they are Averronian christians, who recognize the Calipha as Pope. So really they are merely heretics, and heretics beat infidels any day.
*puts on realist hat* friendly heretics with large armies and deep coffers!
Doesn't look like a denial to me..
