Need an Arab Guide 1.18

[Soulcairn_999]

Getting all Medieval techs by 1200 seems impossible. And after that you only have 100 years to start conquering maghreb and iberia, while defending against the mongols at the same time, anybody accomplished this? I play on marathon heir difficulty (I’m a noob that just play casually over the years), I followed Banefire’s 1.16 Arab guide but the first UHV is harder now. If anybody has a detailed guide I would be grateful, Thank you!

I haven't played Arabia yet, but I'm going to soon. I assume you want to try and conquer the Maghreb before you finish the first goal since Marrakesh is a fantastic city, and it takes a lot of pressure off you to do it later. Same with Iberia but not sure how feasible it is. Basically, work on the two simultaneously. I'll give it a shot this weekend.

You need to contact Japanese, Javanese, Mali, and Swahili at all times (basically contact everyone) to sell techs and connect trades.
Use the advanced start points to grow Jerusalem to 4 pop so that you can guarantee a Great Prophet.
Steal at least 4 workers from the Turks and build road from Merv to Persian cities (you don't have to conquer Persia to connect the trade route, as long as the independents were peaceful).

Thank you, I will try this out in the weekend.
