Solving the Fatimid Problem

[Lwantssugar]

The big issue is I don't think tribal invasions function as they were supposed to: to a Muslim AI this actually makes the realm stronger since it basically hits the reset button on decadence. I haven't the slightest idea how to put this in but maybe upon a successful tribal invasion the realm fractures; make it so that it functions almost like gavelkind except it fires while the new Sultan is alive. The personal holdings of the old sultan would be divided amoung the new one and his 2 oldest sons or male kinsmen, and the realm significantly downsized. Old vassals would be rendered independent but could possibly re incorporate into the realm or even try and usurp it.

general problem with muslims: decadence invasions simply continues the relam under a new name. it should be tracked realm wide insead of dynasty wide, combine it with realms falling apart and we've got rising and falling muslim nations.

I don't know what are You talking about. In my 2 actual games Byzantine is defeating Fatimids (or rulers that replaced them). In one of these games Fatimids invaded Sicily but Pople called Crusade and England took it back. After it pope called Crusade for Jerusalem and England got it too. In one of these games I am playing as muslim, in other as Orthodox in North / West borders of Byzantium and I am not trying to help Byzantines... Rather make their life harder even as their vassal - but really, I can't stop them....
