no surprise here, Fatimid invasions are still overpowered.
but more importantly, What is it with Genoa randomly conquering things? I have the same thing in my game.

It's the coastal invasion cb for republics. And since they have a lot of cash they can come down pretty hard on small countries. However they can't match more than a single duchy.
Exact same thing happened to me in my first game with the DLC
Before 1100, byzantines completetly gone from the fatamids

Im also starting to get really annoyed at Fatimid Greece, when this happends I often end up quitting the game soon after. Invasion CB should only apply against neighboring countries (sharing a land border), Fatimid Invading Greece by sea is just stupid.
Hahah on the alien guy meme.
Also I just have Sword of Islam and the family creation program. The goal of this game was "make Ireland Norwegian" and set up the "svartfisk" family (Blackfish)
My little kingdom of Ireland was able to carve out the kingdoms of Portugal and galicia. I gave them to my half brothers since I didn't want to get involved in the Spanish wars, but felt that I needed to due to the threat of Islam overrunning the Christian states. My legitimate bastard Half Brother who got Portugal married the daughter of the HRE emperor, (The HRE is HUGE, includes all of Christian Scandinavia too, at least it will be a wall when the Mongols come. )
Portugul now owns half of Spain, with the Friendly Spanish nobles who married into my family holding the north. I took out Seville and gave it to the knights of St. John, and I am thinking about giving Cordoba to the Knight Templar. After with the islamic forces will be pressed to the East hugging the coast. I think my half brother and his father in law will clean out the rest. - even Ireland with a dutchy extra can start doing some damage when HRE doom-stacks are running around killing Muslims.
Out east, the romans have made a bit of a comeback. The Fatimids had two rulers die suddenly, and a young minor took over, he been dealing with the rebellions and seeing his converted greek lords try to break free.

As a Basileus I had two wars simultaneously - invasion of Seljuks for Armenia and invasion of Fatimids for Greece. Only abandoning war
for Greece temporary - gave me upper hand in war with Seljuks and I manage to win these wars one by one. No surprise AI capitulate to
Seljuks + Fatimids.

been thinking ... would a higher multiplier on realm size's effect on Decadence work? ...
In length, something i noticed with the new Factions ... if you babysit them its much easier to keep Independence wars from being a pain than it was in 1.06 (unless you get eventschewed by magical 'decadence-like' stacks) ... maybe ramp up the danger slightly one way or another?

Just wait until they take Sicily, the North Africans take all of Iberia and France and Abyssinia falls as usual.
This usually happens in the beginnings of my games, but coming the following 100 years or so the muslim empires usually dissolve and byzantine starts grabbing all their crap back by invading all the breakaway duchies.
In my latest game byzantine lost pretty much everything except the areas around bulgaria in a 50 years time. Without any player intervention in around 1300's they got all their initial holdings back (except for southern greece wich i conquered and gave away to the templars.) and then some... And well this actually happens in pretty much all my games so far.
As for iberia its pretty much the exact same thing there. If nothing miraculous happens the christian states gets wiped out by muslims who then in turn gets wiped out by crusades and holy wars.

Exact same thing in my game, I was too plaing Ireland. They now have all the balkans, all of Russia, 90% of middle east and a chunk of Iberia
In my game, I cripple Fatimids by increasing the decadence increase with holding Empires (Caliphates). They lost the first Jerusalem crusade, as they should.
Are you playing a mod? Caliphates have not been empires for a while now.
I recommend making a small change to nerf the Muslim invasion:
open Crusader Kings II/common/cb_types/00_cb_types.txt
find the line muslim_invasion
Go a few lines down and find:
check_de_jure_tier = KING
Change that to
check_de_jure_tier = DUKE
Now Muslim Invasion targets only duchy-level titles making it basically the same thing as Holy War CB. Does not affect the Seljuk invasion in 1066.
