Fackin' Ummayads.
Trying to play as a Shia (now Hurufi, 'cause why not) tribe in Morocco trying to set up a Republic. Evidently hoping they wouldn't do anything, but the game was de-railed twice from them declaring war for my primary title, and since they're Sunni they kick me out and I lose. First time I had the Republic set up but I spent too much money to hire the mercenaries necessary to beat them back
Second time I was doing better, hadn't set up the Republic yet, but had the bits and pieces necessary I was just building up Anti-Atlas and Marrakech. Had fewer men, but had enough to get mercs and the tribal army to even the numbers. Then my ruler dies, I lose the tribals (wouldn't have done much against a pro army, anyway) then mess up by actually going to Span instead of waiting for them to cross the strait. Ah well. This was the game in which I had the demon spawn event for one of my daughters, which killed another 4 of my children. Kinda sad since she turned out really well in the end, and I didn't have the Tolerance necessary to put her on my Council.
So this time I'm having a wife and concubines pump out babies in order to get non-aggression pacts with the Ummayad sultan, the Ummayad sultan's heir, and the Ummayad sultan's heir's heir.
