Minors often declare war on much larger neighbours if said neighbours are being beat down by other majors. I once watched Bar (That's a OPM in western HRE) DOW France and actually take 3 provinces. (France had previously been steamrolled by Burgundy, Austria and Castille in a row).
Since Mamluks tend to get attacked by other Arabian nations and exspecially Ottomans alot (and actually I rarely see a game where they actually survive), I'm not surprised to see Tripoli jumped at the chance of expanding.

Mamluks lost a war and Tripoli seized on the opportunity...? There's lots of scenarios in which that is possible.
Usually the Ottomans annex all of The Mamluks if they beat them. I have never seen Tripoli annex anything. Usually they get annexed before they can conquer a single province.
I've seen OPMs like Dulkadir declare on and take pieces out of the Mamluks when I was trashing them really badly. You even see silly stuff like Shan solo declaring on Ming if you really rough a target up enough.
I like this about the AI. It shows that a small country is capable of conquering bigger ones. Makes the game more dynamic.
This happened in my current game as well. Tripoli has an ugly amount of income from those rich Egyptian provinces.
Really?
I've never seen the AI get the conditions required to eat the Mamluks in one gulp.
Sometimes though their allies join in on the fun and take some provinces before the Ottomans can get to them. Tripoli has literally been allied with the Ottomans in my game for over 300 years. They've fought zero wars against each other over Egypt. So stupid...
