So after stealing the idea of running to India as Granada I decided to still keep ties with the usual Muslim powerhouses, because logic, and low and behold...

I do want to go for re-re myself soon, but I'm not sure I want to duck Iberia if it's possible to win from there. I mean, you can survive forever w/ scorched earth, but you have to win at some point...and if France jumps in on that it's even harder to take land from THEM.

It was possible in 1.3 and I don't see to much changes for the worse in regards of the Rereconquista - with improved naval landing the Ottomans as an ally might actually be better than before.

I'm still not entirely sure what makes you get a PU.

Is it royal marriage + same dynasty + their ruler dies without an heir?

Either way you can now kick the iberian's ***!

Bye Bye Spain. I wasn't nice knowing you. :p

Let us know how this goes! It'll be interesting to see how well you hold on to them as vassals.

I honestly played for another year and then quit out, i'm almost scared to touch it again. But I will absolutely keep everyone up to date on how it goes, I think my first move back will have to be some sort of relanding on the peninsula. The longer I wait, the larger the differences between the Ottomans and the Western Tech group grows.

It was possible in 1.3 and I don't see to much changes for the worse in regards of the Rereconquista - with improved naval landing the Ottomans as an ally might actually be better than before.

Patch 1.5 explicitly mentioned making AIs that are distant harder to ally. With diprep advisor, +100 improved relations, guarantee, even getting another +25 relations from a gift (impractical) with the ottomans wouldn't be enough. Morocco + Algiers + Tunisia will not save you...if you get Spain *and* Portugal on you they can't even win the naval battle, not that it matters when Spain sieges you out unless you camp scorched earth.

Considering how easy and fruitful it is to just do the "run away to another continent" cheese, that's probably the way to go. I'm trying a run where i took out Malindi in Africa, and it's going well so far, but not Otto-PU well and as far as I can tell, will probably fall short of going into India.
