Playing as Nubia

[emperor12]

I'm playing as Nubia I have take over the kingdom of Abyssinia almost all of the kingdom of Egypt except the Duchy of Sinai and I have taken over the Duchy of Cyrenaica. I'm just want to know should I stay in North Africa or try to take over the remains of the Fatimid dynasty because its a lot weaker now.

It's probably just because I'm not very good, but how did you pull all of that off. Taking on the Fatimid seems night impossible being any of the Ethiopians.

I couldn't do it either, but IIRC from what people have said it's about striking when they're preoccupied (with a Crusade or a Jihad or both).

Well, I'm not the OP, but I've literally taken about the same amount of land from them. The key is alliances and being opportunistic: if you hit them while they're already distracted and bring both the HRE and ERE on their heads, you can beat them. And then you really just need to target Cairo and Damietta, and once those are yours you'll see an absolutely massive swing in manpower that'll cripple the Fatimids.

I killed the Caliph of the Fatimids starting a succession civil war so I was able to take Egypt

Undoubtedly one of the most difficult starting positions in the game, though not without its sense of accomplishment if you manage to pull it off.
