That is why there should be possiblity to call Jihad for muslims. I think it should need having title of khalifa, and should have a duration like crushades...

Hmm, I can't think of any universal warfare from moslems proclaimed by a caliph in EU 3 timeframe. The early caliphate had much power but the one we see here in 1399 starting date is called "shadow caliphate" for one reason I guess.

Anyway, christian crusades and catholicism should be definitely nerfed for upcoming patch or EU IV.

This is becoming off topic, but allowing Muslim countries meeting certain requirements to claim the title of Caliph, with more options, would indeed be a very fun thing. Unfortunatelly I know too little about the subject to propose the changes, but some nice featureswould be

- calling a Jihad (pretty straight forward)
- Every single Sunni/Shia country who borders a combatant would get an instant call to arms, if a heathen attacked the Caliph (What I mean by that is that if Crusader Egypt would attack the Jalarids, who became caliph, Jemen and Nadż would get a call to arms, if any of them joins, Oman would - but Bengal or Suahili would never get it - prevents stupid wars.

I don't know how would one claim to be the rightful Caliph, though... a logical idea would be by having Bagdad and Mecca, but that would only make human players be a possibility.

Baghdad was destroyed by mongols. Mecca was changed to damascus by ummajids kalifate. Then damascus was changed to baghdad. When mongols destroyed caliphate in baghdad, it was relocated to Cairo. Cairo ceased to be caliphate when ottoman empire conquered egypt - Then the ottoman sultan became the caliph. At the time ottoman sultan was caliph, there was also caliphate of sokoto that started to form in 1774. Still the first title of caliph there was at 1804, which mean end of the game time-frame. But most of the time there was one caliphate - at least in the game timeframe. I think there should be only possibility to become caliph, if the former is conquered...

There are weird things just before the game's time frame like the Almohads who are sometimes considered a caliphate and sometimes an emirate.

The Caliphate would have to be seperate for Shiites and sunnis since the split there was originally based on who gets to be the prophet's successor. To be a shia caliph you have to somehow be able to prove descent from the prophet.

Becoming caliph would be more like becoming HRE, since you'd basically just have to convince enough islamic leaders to do what you say.

Just let the Defender of Sunni/Shitte Faith call the Jihad. Easy.

By the way, I see no real incentive to switch out of the Catholic faith. If better bonuses are added to others, then perhaps it'd be worthwhile (i.e. -20% tech cost for protestant).

If it makes the OP feel any better, I too have felt similar desires.

Nothing says "we're awesome" more than a Shinto Ireland after all. (Pre-DW Japan)
Or a Muslim Germany. (Ottomans/Timurids)
Or an Orthodox Europe! (Russians/Byzantines)
And yeah, I 'guess' a Catholic North Africa/Middle East (Take your pick)... I mean, if you're into that.

And I know, not all of those are eradicating another religion.. But come on, Shinto Irishmen! That's gotta count for something!

Rather than an inherently ahistorical Caliphate system, I'd rather see all nations more inclined to defend their co-religionists if the're getting conquered too badly.

I once wanted to do that as the Byzantines, but then I realized the muslim influence reaches quite far... I already like it when I make the Mediterranean a Christian pond.

Although I must say I don't like converting Italians to the Orthodox faith.
