Decided to unleash the mongols in 867 and they appear to have hit the horde critical mass
They're way over their vassal limit and the Khagan keeps hoarding (hee hee) tons of titles to himself, rendering him unable to raise vassal levies.
Also they keep constantly converting to catholicism despite being reformed tengri, which i had to switch them back to multiple times. Never any other religion either.

Third is a bloodline mod and sixth is the conqueror trait given to mongols.

Make him a Lucky Ruler (diplo-action: 'Bless With Luck') and see if they can pull it together.

Well their 100,000 vassal levies have come back, but i just noticed now they're all hindus.
What does reforming even doooooo?
I don't know if this is what people always mean when they talk of border gore, but it is something all right. Also reconquista is scant even full 100 years from 1066 start usually.
Yes Jimena dynasty is overpowered because Galicia, León, Castilla, Navarra and Aragón are allies and if one of them declares a war, the rest help him and the enemies, andalusians or County of Barcelona don't have enough power to fight against 5 kingdoms, because they don't have as many allies
EMF also still has some old code from PB that's been on my shit-list for at least a solid year that preemptively (as in, before total conquest of the duchies) expands the de jure territory of Portugal, Leon, Castille, and Aragon on SWMH as certain counties come under control of the Christians. I didn't write this code and have promised @IoannesBarbarus ( whom thankfully keeps reminding me that it needs to be addressed-- every week, every day, every hour, every other minute
) that I'd replace it with something that makes a lot more sense.The problem with the current code is that it basically makes a *bunch* of Muslim-held territory suddenly de jure Portugal / Leon / Castille / Aragon (without properly earning it first). This means that the Christians will inevitably use de jure county claims (or, worse in this case, de jure duchy, as they don't seem to have much trouble hitting Medium CA on those kingdoms) to very rapidly *vassalize* those Muslims (whom they then proceed to Demand Religious Conversion and/or eventually revoke all their titles, but it's nasty in the interim) INSTEAD of being forced to use a Holy War CB to properly remove kebab and THEN potentially add to their de jure territory. This makes the Reconquista happen far too early, far too inaccurately in manner, and far too often successfully-- with a lot of overextension.
My fix will be sane de jure expansion (only expand the kingdoms de jure when the territory in question has already been outright conquered completely) combined with a Reconquista CB (a variant of Holy War) that doesn't require piety / requires less of it (tuned as necessary) and can be used by both the Christians and Muslims over the contested "Reconquista duchies" in Iberia. The special CB will only be necessary if the Christians can't seem to pull-off the Reconquista with this aforementioned, inaccurate kludge removed/fixed and standard Holy War, which is admittedly a tad piety-expensive for an AI that doesn't know good ways to earn piety like players do.

That's what I like to hear. I hope the fast shifting won't be railroaded to the historical borders. That stuff was pretty contingent, I think. I also hope that won't result in de jure border gore.
On 13 Jul, 920 the Christian world mourned as Pope Hadrianus II died. His successor is Eduardo Urso who took the name Benedictus V. Pope Benedictus is a pretty interesting character, based on what I can see. I wish I knew his whole story. Can't seem to get the pic to upload. He's 48, has two grown children but was never married (the kids aren't bastards though). Among his traits are genius, scarred, zealous, and the most interesting, a eunuch.

The new Shia Caliph is also the leader of the Hashshashin and has a crown.

No, I'm not the Ethiopia, I'm the sennar next to them. Who is somewhat scared though relations now are good and marriageabled.
This army amount is more than england and very close to france, currently, nearly twice the shia caliph.
Seems a bit.. well, not a "bit" is the problem.
A eunuch?
Yeah, I want to know this guy's story too now.
My theory is that after his kids he took a very serious vow of celibacy.
Most likely he was taken prisoner and castrated though. One of his brothers has been blinded so probably the prisoner bit. There's an idea for the next patch, a decision to make yourself a eunuch.
Why in God's green Earth would I want to do that?!
Well, there are considerable health benefits in becoming an eunuch...
(supposing you don't die / get infected of the procedure)
Haha! First time I read that I thought you said one of the health benefits is you don't die! LOL
