This is what I get for trying to establish myself in Byzantine politics. In September of 1210 Princess Parween's husband, Eudoxios, dies mysteriously. It is nice to see Diskarkha's dynasty grow as it's borders do.Įmir Sulayman does not start his own cadet branch, but instead starts a faction to claim the throne of Diskarkha. Emir Aghlab would come up with the creativively named House Aghlabid. Prince Halil would go on to form House Madin. They had been good allies in past lifetimes, but here it would have been too costly to intervene.Ĭadet Houses start to appear everywhere as more landed Diskarkhans establish themselves over the generations.Įmir Eliya III of Hadramawt now is Emir of the Shibamid Emirate as he has created the cadet branch House Shibamid. I'm not sure if we include any of the Horn kingdoms.īack in Ethiopia, Lasta is carved up between Alodia and Danakil. I want the lands that Kafa inherits from his mother to be part of the de jure empire, as well as Yemen and Arabia. Currently I'm at 660 and making 12.5 per month. There's a perk in the Diplomat tree that will knock 20% off the kingdom costs, but that's still a lot of gold I need to raise. Currently I'm at 70 and 1, and it would cost me 800g to make the needed Kingdom titles in addition to the 1200g for the decision.
This means I need to have either 120 counties and 1 kingdom title, or 80 counties and 3 kingdom titles.
None of the de jure empires in the area really encompass what I feel is "Socotra" de jure land, so I am going to aim for the event decision to create my own empire. (Part of me thought I should just stay as a kingdom and use de Jure drift to expand my de jure borders, but this has been a difficult enough game I can handicap myself that way another time). With Najd falling, Kafa's goal is starting to come clear: expand the kingdom enough to jump up to an empire. She marries her betrothed, Rajkumar Udayasimha of the Jayasimhid Kingdom. Those two events together brought the war to a quick end.ĭuring the war, Kafa's daughter Sarah comes of age. We captured the heir to the kingdom when Surrah fell, and then Najd's army ran right into a peasant revolt at Medina and suffered a bad loss. Only Numayr stayed even close to the action, but kept their distance from my armies the entire time. Najd sent their army into Medina, defeating Prince Halil's army again as if it was out of habit. We're not sure what the AI was thinking with the strategy here, but their allies of Yahyid sent their forces into the Persian Gulf, through the Straights of Hormuz, and landed on the backwater county of Duqm.
Kafa's next target is the Emirate of Najd.Īfter his brother's failed attempt to conquer the Emirate, Kafa brings in considerably more troops to defeat a friendless Najd. Kafa II, Part Three: Finally, A Successful Warrior King
