just make Tilius a muslem!
Finally, here is my suggested peace, with the Kingdom of Jerusalem (to be ruled by a Tilius) in white. Observe that the Caliphate gains Baalbek and regains Rhodes and Cyprus, while retaining land access to its rich provinces in inland Syria. Russia gains some provinces on the Black Sea, and some on the Caspian. A buffer state between Persia and the Caliphate should cool tensions there; as Frosty has repeatedly pointed out, the land itself is not very valuable, being mainly desert, so there should be no objection on that ground. Besides which, most of what would go to Jerusalem is currently Persian anyway. Observe that Gaza remains Egyptian, while the West Bank goes to a crusader Kingdom; I trust this is acceptable to all involved.
Note that Foels has not had a chance to comment on this, so take it as a basis for discussion rather than a firm offer; the week passes quickly, so I felt it better to get something out there now.
hmmm.. I seem to recall that face from somewhere else..
...And I would kill for that sort of beard

A crusading persian? What were those claims about Ike being a neutral party again, KoM?
how come all these middle-eastern dictators looks exactly like my (late) dad?

Perhaps we can make the Kingdom a duchy for a while, leaving it a vassal of one of the Caliphates, and give out the Kingdom title only when the ruler converts?
Being a Muslim, he would obviously crusade against me, not you; he's wearing the Cross as a subterfuge, a ruse d'guerre. Sneaky, untrustworthy Tiliuses, we hates them, Precious!
Thinking about it, getting a Moslem Tilius might be a bit of a problem; I don't want to edit it. Perhaps we can make the Kingdom a duchy for a while, leaving it a vassal of one of the Caliphates, and give out the Kingdom title only when the ruler converts?
We could, of course said bufferstate will not be Jerusalem.

I have to say, the current proposal seems quite reasonable to me.

The maps make it seem so, but do not mistake swats of colours for how the war is going. Again, I do not indent to ceede 22 provinces worth two Alexandrias when not a single one of my demesne provs are occupied. It is the conclusion of the defending powers that we have turned the tide and what is lost will soon be retaken, why would we sign a loosing peace when we are about to gain momentum?
That the person winning the war takes the brunt of the loss from the formation of a buffer state?
How does buffer-Sultan of Rum-Azerbaijan sound?
maybe you can, but I doubt it.
In Soviet Russia the winner loses the war
We feel confident that this cannot possibly cause bloodshed, genocide, and hard feelings for the next three hundred years.
If we are going for a peace based on current occupation + some extra provs, shouldn't I be getting Syria?
At any rate, we will not accept a peace where we do not gain back the provinces you so recently took from us.
