KevUK- Holy Orders will wipe those Muslim stacks without breaking a sweat. Though if the random things are against you, that will sink any game of course.
Yeah, I sussed this a while ago, but when your 4 years old and your piety is like 50, then you cant get them. Yes, its mainly a random chance that this happened (its a game afterall), but the Moors were sure hard to beat come middle 12thC, easy at first mind, but 100 years into the game I was seeking HRE as allies. Very interesting game, probably the most interesting game of CK2 I have had.
