Bolazhd har'Djiiz, Khazarian Khount.

A man of many names, he was forced to settle down after a mutiny left him with little more than a single warehouse and a handful of mooks to his name. Fortunately, he likes gefilte fish, so he expects to fit right in with his new home.

Traits: Strong, Tall, Lustful, whichever of the martial education traits he can afford without making him older than his mid-twenties.

Religion: Judaism

Culture: Dutch

Stats: 1 in everything except Military, pump the point savings into that. :black101:

Yes, this is mainly a reference, where it isn't an attempt to make Grey conquer the world for Judaism.

Well, since you can't beat Gao on the battlefield, you'll just have to try to inherit them instead.

Or at least slowly usurp all their valuable holdings out from under them via claimants.

Woohoo things are heating up in North Africa, the Snake in the Well is showing its bite.

And by "Well" we mean "trousers", and by "Snake" we mean...

Yeah, I think you can guess. I mean, what else would the Ogoonu line worship?

Especially given that spreading reverence for the mighty Trouser Snake of Ghana far and wide is currently the thing we're best at.

I'm matralinally marrying every woman in the family, but the Chiefs are either already Ogoonu or not having any of it. if I get a crazy Mansa then I'm going to go full nepotism :)

IIRC, can't you force any marriage you want on somebody who's in your court?

Just invite their heirs and then Ogoonu-fy them.

Or invite the second/third-in-line, assuming this doesn't work with the immediate heir. Ogoonu-fy them, then :ese: everybody between the newly-Ogoonu'd noble and the title you want them to pick up.

It's pretty unusual for someone to agree to come to your court unless they think you can press their claim. And even then they have to like you.

Huh, for some reason I thought that if they were already your vassals or the vassals of some dude who's your vassal (and not actively ruling something, I suppose) they didn't have a choice in the matter. It's just not something that comes up often because usually you're trying to invite foreigners to your court so that you can justify invading somebody.

The liberation of Mecca shall be what propels us to explore as-yet unknown lands. After all, right now we'd have to march across the blasted wastelands of Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Egypt, with only the Nile Delta as a brief interlude of fertile soil, before we can march into the blasted wastelands of the Sinai and Arabia on our way to the Hedjaz.

But what if we came by sea instead? We know that Mecca is near the coast of the Red Sea, and that the Red Sea in turn empties into the vast Indian Ocean. We know that our own glorious African homeland lies near another coast, and that our coast continues far to the south. Perhaps, by following the coast far enough south, we might reach a point where it turns north again, and thereby sail all the way to our rightful Meccan holdings with a grand Repossession Army.

We'll need a decent navy anyway in order to conquer Scandinavia. Why conquer those frozen mountains and angry Norsemen, you ask? Well, just look at the shape of the Scandinavian Penisula and its Finnish scrotum. It was obviously meant to be ruled over by the most devoted followers of the Snake in the Well.

Yes, the misspelling of "peninsula" was intentional.

But what would we build such a fleet out of? I'm not sure they even know what trees are in that part of the world.

Besides, only the rawest and most callow Ogoonu youth would assume that merely one hard thrust towards the target would achieve the desired results. No, a wise and experienced Ogoonu knows that, while the front should of course not be neglected, it is the thrusts from behind that turn even the most hardened opponent's knees to jelly at the climax of a long campaign.

Maybe replace some of the heir chance boost with a boost to our advisor selection, to represent the fecundity of the Ogoonu line?

Especially since we're in Africa and thus are probably getting hosed over where advisors are concerned.

It's entirely possible to end CK2 with the Kingdom of X and the Duchy of X as the primary titles of separate, independent rulers, so the automatic converter gives them the same name in EU4.

There is some historical precedent for this. See: the County and Duchy of Burgundy.
