Poking a dead tiger in the eye
Aragon managed to completely destroy Castille army. A great opportunity arises. I start building 3 regiments of infantry and move my fleet to say “Hello” to Castille fleet.
Then the regiments are complete I declare war to Castille.
Portugal declares war to Castille their ally Aragon joins in. In a quick war Portugal takes two provinces. Sorry but I forgot to take declaration of war and peace screenshots.
I capture my first province and finally manage to colonize Tuat.
Castille goes bankrupt. Unfortunately I didn’t know what defenders lose almost all morale then a nation goes bankrupt. So I slowly capture Castille provinces.
Granada declared independence 2 long sieges go to waste. And i capture Granada.
I cancel my current mission and get another which asks me to improve relations whit Tunisia. Sultan’s current policy on improving relationship whit different countries is annexation of that country.
I complete more sieges.
Peasants see a meteor it could mean one thing Morocco must convert to Christianity.
A big revolt occurs in Oran.
I take 2 provinces from Castille. Granada is a rich province and Cadiz will help me to convert to Christianity.
I finally manage to destroy the big revolt using my whole army.
I think you should have dropped the comma.
So it would be Christian Slave Trading (trading of Christian Slaves) Republic of Morocca.

Wow, I've never seen Castille on the losing end of so many wars in the first couple decades of the game.
Enewald: Maybe, but that would be hilarious.
demokratickid: Thank you.
Zimfan: Blame Aragon they stabbed Castille in the heart.
Duke of Wellington: Unfortunately European nations do not like to share their land.
Middelkerke: Why so many people know my secret plans.
I have a slight rebel problem in my newly captured provinces. My army crawls as fast as it can to protect the provinces.
2-10-1417: I advance in production. Moroccan scientists discover half a wheel.
It seems Tuat produces slaves. One of our goals is complete.
After 199 days rebels had won the siege. My army wasn’t fast enough. Well that puts a little dent in my grand master plan.
5-7-1418: Portugal attack Granada. Portugal ally Aragon joins in. Granada is still at war whit Castille. Those poor Grenadians.
Note to self “Stone ship’s do not fly”.
We still have a small rebel problem.
Gibraltar rebels are coming to help Granada province rebels. Rebel AI is quite good.
Against all odds rebels have lost.
These rebels are very persistent.
24-8-1420: Granada get’s away almost unscratched. Portugal was the leader in war. Granada is still at war whit Castille.
Sultan thought it was no pants day.
I get a level 2 tech advisor and I hire him. On other news Castille goes bankrupt… again… It seems Castille solution to everything is to go bankrupt.
In far away land (fairy land) Byzantine managed to expand, but don’t worry they collapsed several years later.
Tuat becomes a city. I did not get the message. A bit later I discover Taodeni a.k.a. Tuat 2.
Mamluks finally kick out my merchants out of their Cot.
2-8-1422: I move slider to centralization and get destabilization. Granada is still at war whit Castille. They have some serious relationship problems.
2-8-1424: I advance in trade, only one more level to go.
After my army finished clubbing the natives I send my colonist to Taodeni. The first one failed, but the second one succeeded.
Taodeni also produces slaves.
I didn’t notice then Granada made peace whit Castille and I fink it was white peace. Those 2 rebellions are Granada patriots and soon those provinces will defect to Granada.
I ask Granada for military access and they accept I do not have the screenshot, so a screenshot of France declaring war to England will suffice. I think this is their 123 war.
3-8-1426: I advance in land technology. A new land boat is created.
Poor Granada. Now Aragon is attacking them. And guess who joins in. This time Aragon is the leader.
Portugal conquers Granada and asks a high price of 11 ducats.
Here is my current advisor situation. I fire my stability advisor and hire level 2 reputation advisor. I was very surprised then I saw that I have a level 1 reputation advisor I don’t remember herring him. My BB at this point is 7.
Castille is number 2 in inflation raise. Go Castille.
2-10-1430: Taodeni becomes a city.
Aragon takes Gibraltar from Granada. Now i border Aragon. I send message to Aragon "Please don't kill me".
Part II will be posted soon.
demokratickid: Thank you.
Zimfan: Blame Aragon they stabbed Castille in the heart.

A Christian republic in North Africa , eh ? XD St. Augustine would be proud . Let's see how this goes !

Part II
I expand my army. You need a big army to get big loans from African nations.
1-10-1431: I get a level 2 government advisor and hire him.
Those 3 transports there at sea for couple decades.
The culture of the spoon is spreading.
I discover Azawadd. I need to discover province which is next to it.
That relative was telling a story, then the sultan thought it was no pants day. I take the stability hit.
1-12-1432: I finally advance in trade. Look out new world. But first I need to get 5 colonists. Then I will change my NI to QftNW.
The rebel problem in Spain continues to this day. Aragon has a big army in Gibraltar.
I win the battle previously showed battle, but suddenly a new rebel army pops up and destroys my army.
2-4-1434: I advance in government. Sultan learns how to speak. African clubbing is postponed due to rebel problem. Fortunately rebel’s fail to capture Granada province.
1-1-1436: I Change my NI to QftNW and hire a conquistador. I could move slider, but i am waiting for things to calm down.
That is strange. Tripoli seems to have a province in middle of Africa.
I get military access from Tripoli. Africa continent exploration continues.
Nothing can stop me now from conquering Africa.
Conquer Tripoli and the rest of north africa.
Shame that this is not MM, you would get a lot of cash from pirates.

Portugal and Aragon send a gift to Sultan. Inside the gift is a note saying “We can”. And there goes my Africa conquest.
I have 5 regiments of cavalry in Spain. Portugal and Aragon have big navies and my navy consists of 4 big ships, 3 transports and 2 galleys. So 5 regiments in Spain are on their own. I immediately start constructing 2 regiments of Latin cavalry in Spain. Also Portugal has mission to conquer Tangiers I think they will try to transport troops to African continent. In Africa continent I have 6 regiments of cavalry and 4 regiments of infantry (soon to become 1st army). Aragon and Portugal have a bit of WE. Portugal is leader in this war.
I convert my sultan to a general. He has decent stats. He will be commanding my army (2nd army) in Spain.
Also I raise war taxes. Whit 0 stability I don’t make a lot of money whit yearly tax. So all spending goes to stability also I start minting a bit more.
Aragon army in Gibraltar consists of 2 regiments of cavalry and 3 regiments of infantry. My 2nd army goes for the kill. We win the battle and a game of ping-pong begins.
Portugal transports first troops to Tangiers. My army moves to intercept them.
2nd army destroys Aragons army and starts to siege Gibraltar.
Whit a bit of ping-ponging 1st Army destroys invading Portugal army. Aragon transports about 7 thousand troops to Gibraltar and the battle for Spain begins. I send newly built Latin cavalry to help 2nd army.
Here is a screenshot of me losing the battle for Spain. Aragon is sending more troops. After taking this screenshot I retreat.
Fortunately 2nd army is fast enough to evade pursuing Aragon troops. Portugal is sending one regiment at a time in hopes to conquer Tangiers.
While Aragons army’s are busy siegeing my province I decide to siege theirs.
I discover a small Aragon army defending their homeland. Let the ping-pong begin.
In Africa continent Portugal transports 3 regiments of infantry which are led by their king.
I destroy their army but the king escapes by pretending to be a wall. After this battle Portugal stops invading my provinces in Africa continent.
In Aragons homeland things aren’t going according to plan. Portugal continues using the same tactic of sending one regiment at a time, but this time to protect Aragon. 2nd army fails to rout them. Whit every battle 2nd army becomes smaller and smaller. It seems I will have to retreat again.
Unnoticed to me Portugal managed to attack my 1 regiment cavalry whit 6 regiments of infantry fortunately this army has only 600 men.
Aragon wins the first siege of this war.
I advance in naval technology. Well it seems stone ships do float... for a couple of seconds. Also stability increased, but I am still slowly losing money.
Aragon wins their second siege. I cancel war tax.
First peace offer from Aragon. I politely reject.
Here we can see that Portugal’s 6 regiments army fought to the end.
2nd army faces more apposition.
Fez citizens discover that plant’s like water. Sultan finks that Fez citizens are crazy and raises tax.
2nd army faces even more apposition. I decide to retreat.
This concludes the first part of this war. I won a lot of battles and managed to increase WE of Portugal and Aragon. Aragon captured two provinces in Spain and parked a big army in my province named Granada (It's a bit confusing to have a nation and a province called Granada). At this point I pause the game to think what to do next.
Good for your naval tech! The 'Ships Float" doctrine is always handy to have... :rofl: KUTGW, sir!
Blockades require naval tech 9, which is a bit higher than his current "ships float" naval tech 5.
