That sounds like a good plan. Are the Venicians able to go past our blockade?

Good updates, loving the pictures 
I'm very much amused by the 'divine intervention' preventing reinforcements arriving in the latest battle.

It's barely visible on the map PrinceScamp provided (just north-east of Murcia). It just shows two swords clashing, and if you hover your mouse over it you'll get basic details on the battle that happened.

Good updates, nice screenshots! 
I think we should try to grab Tangiers before our crusading fellow Europeans do.

Civverguy defeats 4 small Almohad armeis in one battle but soon meets his match.
An enemy commander is cut down while cowardly abandoning his men. The medium sized army has been destroyed but the Sultan brought up fresh troops.
Someone thought it would be funny to put robes on a couple of zombies and have them return to the enemy only to get cut down.
Apparently, if you have troops withdrawing, and then you quit a battle, they turn around and attack the enemy. This really ticked me off.
Cordoba is taken by Metro & Tommy.

Cadiz. The laststronghold of the Almohads in Iberia. Well, was.
The enemy didn't have anyone guarding the gate, so my spies had no problem opening it.
The defenders on the walls destroyed, the General's plan of waiting in the square fails rather miserably.
With the capture of Cadiz, the Reconquista is officialy completed! Hip hip hooray! Celebratinos break out all over the Kingdom.

Civverguy II has come of age! (I don't know who the father is, I didn't check, sorry)
Tangiers. The gateway from north Africa to Iberia. The target of the crusade.
King Metromonkey surveys the city and decides that mosque has to go.
The enemy Generals cowardly wait in the square and don't even charge at my troops as they are hit in the rear.
The freed slaves have finished off the two units of spearmen at the walls and rush off to pillage their former master's houses.
The last defender falls.
Antoher glorius Victory!

I am refitting and rebuilding my armies and organizing things in Iberia. In Africa Scamp II is leading a frsh army to take Marrakesh. Sirttommygun is going to be the lord of Tangiers and Marrakesh so he's staying in Africa. Abig thanks to Ironman and his fleet, blocking the crossing cross the channel really helped since it prevented enemy armeis from crossing (at least, I assume it did, as none came over).
I have 3 choices for what to do next;
1. Wipe out the Moors.
2. Take Casablanca and then cease fire.
3. Ceasefire and then move on Portugal.

I say a combination of 2 and 3.
Was that a Zombie working for us in that last battle shot?

Wipe out the Moors! Wipe out the Moors!
There's no need to attack the Portugese just yet - we should concentrate on the infidel Moors first.

From the looks of it, the last Moorish Armies that could do any damage are near Tangier and they are on the way to Casablanca. I'd say that we just finish the Moors off, we can always use the extra cities and Castles.

Those are headed to Tangiers. The Moors used up a LOT of money on armeis of infantry that got destroyed in Iberia and are weakend. I shall finish them off. Then I will take Sardinia and Corsica. Then we shall see what's happening. We don't really have any family connections to Portugal anymore, just an alliance which could be cancelled. France, well, there heir is still an heir and is married to my daughter so they won't be attacking us anytime soon (I hope, though too bad for Kan, he'll probably be dead by the time we fight France, which is a long way off).

I really wanted to saw WAS here but I can't. Yet. The Moors still have 3 family members (though one will be assassinated shortly), tw if which are in/near Arguin on the west coast of Africa! Yeesh! Update coming, soon. Oh yeah, Tommy, you got killed by rioters.
