The Shia Califate: What are the Rules for a Jihad?

[Ancilliu]

Hi,
I am playing as Calif of the Shia Califate.
Can someone explain to me, why I sometimes can call a Jihad, and why sometimes not?

Thanks!
Anci

Shia Caliph can declare a Jihad after 1187 if moral authority is at 50% and the target is independent, either of a different religion group or a heresy of shia and has at least 6 counties.

This, and Jihads can only be called once in so many years and only once in the Caliph's lifetime. That, to my knowledge anyway.

Forgot about that! It's in defines.lua

CRUSADE_CREATION_MONTH_DELAY = 360,

So one Jihad/Crusade every 30 years.

Supreme! Where do you get thos infos? Is there a possibility to view the remaining Time to my next jihad ingame?

Thanks to all.

I got them from the common/cb_types/00_cb_types.txt. As to checking the time I, unfortunately have no idea, though if you're looking for quick expansion as muslim ruler you can use a kingdom-level invasion cb if you have enough piety (500 IIRC).

Correct me if I am mistaken, but invading a Kingdom only works if the other Kindom has more holdings than yourself, doesn't it?

If I'm reading it correctly muslims can invade any non-muslim realm that has 6 counties of a de jure kingdom, regardless of whether or not said kingdom has holder.
