Are we talking about the province with iron, or the one to the east of it?

 

[Prospo]

Calat Alhambra
Granada

The Sultan relaxes in his brand new palace. The old palace complex of the Nasrids was deemed inadequate for the glory of the Sultan, so he ordered the place renovated and his own palace built adjacent to it, designed by the great Jewish architect Hasdai.

When he seized the Emirate from the decaying Nasrids so many years ago, he fully intends to usher in a new era in the history of Granada and of Al-Andalus. This he had done so. He had reconquered most of the lands lost during the so-called Reconquista. He had reformed the administration and established a more centralized bureaucracy. Al-Andalus once again became a center of trade and scholarship.

Of the great Islamic empires since the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), few has managed to weather the storms of the past few decades. Islam is on retreat almost everywhere. In the heartlands of Islam itself - Egypt, Syria, Iraq, even Arabia - there is no longer any civilisation. News from these lands are not encouraging; many have even commited the grave crime of apostasy and renounced Islam. But though the heartland has fallen into darkness, Islam still shines in some of the most unlikely places; Spain, North Africa, Southeast Asia, and Russia. Too bad the Malaccans are so far away and the Russians are heretics.

From the intelligence reports gathered by Granadan travellers, merchants, diplomats and spies, the Sultan in Granada is fully updated on development on the frontiers. News from the north are encouraging: Catalonia will soon fall under Granadan rule. However, a challenge rises in the south; the upstart pagans of Benin seem determined to extend their rule into the countries of Marrakech, Fez, Algiers and Tripoli, right up to the shores of the Middle Sea, threatening the Muslim communities of North Africa and endangering the heart of the Sultanate itself. The Sultan is determined the confront the pagans, and secure what belongs to Granada by natural right.

[mechaerik]

What kind of Christianity, Orthodox or Roman Catholic?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Yes you can join we are always accepting new players, and since you joined update one, claim 10 provinces

 

[GhostWriter16]

Yes you can join we are always accepting new players, and since you joined update one, claim 10 provinces

This should be fine for people who join the first update, but I recommend you don't increase it by 4 for every update. If you can remember Ideology Wars, that became a real mess when people could claim loads of land by joining late and screw everyone over. Therefore, I recommend that a maximum of 10 territories can be claimed by a new nation, no matter when they join.
