You get three territories. Nothing is built on them. You are surrounded with Orthodox to your south and fucking savages to your north.

End game: re-establish Israel and build the third Temple.

Seems pretty tough.
Is this the Middle East or Eurasia?

It's in the far western province of what is Kazakhstan today.

I got wrecked pretty fast. It's not easy. I might try to start much earlier to get a better position to make Israel happen.

Sounds like the Basileus achievement in EUIV. You start as the province of Byzantium in 1440, and have to avoid the Ottomans and rebuild the Roman Empire. Damned impossible, if you ask me.

I am not sure how to do it. It would be a fucking awesome achievement in iron man mode, though.


But not impossible. Somebody has done it.

Wait. Wait, hold on. Can't Muslims convert to Judaism?

What if you went on the jihad against the Holy Land and then converted to Judaism?


Or.. get a Jewish doctor or whatever, but make him your chaplain. Set him to converting your capital. Would that work to at least convert a defensible kingdom to Judaism and then go after the Holy Land?

Khazaria 867 start; be sure to settle feudal in Jerusalem to avoid using the slow conversion to Judaism (or simply pillage all holdings in Jerusalem). Any other horde in 867 can use Khazar missionaries or concubines to convert.

Start as the Tulunids, move your capital to Semien and use your holy war piety to convert to Judaism. Also works with the Abbasids in 769, though it is necessary to give away the Caliph title in order to convert. (Then grant the new caliph independence and holy war the land back.)
Looks like you can, yeah.

Yeah. It's the only way to get the achievement that proves you did it.
