Hello guys,
my question is quite easy. I'm wondering if there is any way to survive and expand as Granada. I think it is one of the most difficult challanges in the whole AGCEEP. I'd appreciate any strategic hint. Stay allied with Castile and DoWing Portugal trying to take all their land ASAP, or maybe allying with Aragon and dowing Castile? Thanks a lot guys.

Granada 1.36
Very difficult country to play. You are a vassal of Castile, and every year your suzerain gets stronger while you don't. You have to strike Castile early and decisively, preferably when she is distracted in another war, and hopefully when you are not facing all the iberians at the same time. Ownership of Andalusia will give you cores on Al-Andalus as it was in the XIth Century Caliphate. To win the first war you might want to try sending armies to siege the northern provinces of Castile. Obtaining the Canary islands before they are fully settled is difficult but possible. After you have established yourself, you have to consider if you let Portugal and Spain explore the world for you or if you want to finish them off before they colonize too far away to reach them. If Spain owns Andalusia between 1501 and 1526, it will put a Center of Trade and a shipyard in it, but if they own Andalusia or Murcia between 1493 and 1500, Torquemada will convert them.
Soon you are likely to be hated by all Christians, and obtaining a land border with powerful nations, like France or Austria, is likely to result in their declaration of war after every five years at peace. Luckily you have Latin technology and might be able to face them. After Boabdil in 1492, your fantasy emirs will be slightly above average.
:)

It's very important to go in northern provinces to avoid other troops during sieges.

What's funny about the revival of al-andalus is that it does not actually give a core on Andalucia! Addcore 443 should be added to the event- perhaps a conversion for that province as well, but definitely a core there!

Andalusia is already a core from the beginning in 1419. As for conversion, it is already a sunni province. as for culture, castillan is one of the national cultures of granada. So, what do you mean?

No, Andalusia is no longer a core for AGCEEP scenario. It is also converted by event for Castile in the 16thCentury I believe, so if Granada can't reconquer it fast enough it will the religion will be lost.
