Conquering the world as the Abbasids? Surely not that hard. However we have CK3 on the way and long have I held issue with the Decadence mechanic. I think it is now in a place I could enjoy a game with it and so that is the plan. Take the Abbasid's and take over the whole of the world. Topple China for good measure of course. Fight of a few invasions of horse lords out of the eastern map perhaps. All those good things. If you want to come along and enjoy the journey of course would love for you to watch here or at my channel. Comment here or there or anything at all I do love to know your thoughts on things. Otherwise hope we can all have a little fun with what is likely my last CK2 LP.

Inevitably when you start off as a big power first thing you should focus on is establishing your personal power base. Without a strong desmense factions will run all over you.

 
Now if you are playing one of the Muslim leaders there is a danger in spreading your lineage long and wide. So I will just lock my kids up if they get ideas.

 
So definitely we will fight China at some point. Real question is will I kowtow to them or not.

 
Always very important when you are the Caliph to build up that piety.

 
Always get the pet cat. Cats are love.

 
Too many other faiths in my lands. Means too many rebels.

 
Everyone is talking about the Caliph's tower if you know what I mean.

 
Could you imagine how terrible things would be if we had defensive pacts on?

 
Egypt is annoying large for my liking. One day they will turn to heresy and I will be there to shatter them for my own safety.

 
It is just difficult to conquer your way through all the Horse Lord lands.

 
I really need a strip all titles button.

 
So Bloodlines. I like them. I would like to collect more of them if I can.

 
So let me ask you this. Do you have a preferred weapon you like to have made? A sword? A lance?

 
I still find it a shame more wasn't done with societies. I would even have taken an entire DLC with just dozens more.

 
So first Bloodline achieved. Not sure how many others I can get my hands on but we will give it a fair go.

 
Horse lords are a little...stronger than I expected or remembered. Huh. This uhh...will not be on the test later.

 
Can I spend money to spread castle tech or something to those lands? Pesky horse lords.

 
I hope that I am not the only one who tries to steal conquests from their vassals.

 
So child Caliph time? Well so long as I can keep the good traits right?
