Regional Blobber. Early missions about uniting the kurdish lands, perhaps with some strong temporary buffs to help overcome all the large neighbors. Missions then contest the holy land and focus on reclaiming egypt/getting revenge on mamluks. Short break off missions for anatolian diplomacy (allied and get smol buff, or rival and get claims) after "get syria". The other major mission direction leads into iraq/iran and the conquest of persia, as well as a line for religious dominance (remove heresy!!) after conquering baghdad. No missions for arabian peninsula, so player must decide to work with or against rassids. Short military missions, focused on mountain home defense (capital defense for 50years?) and canny tenacity (+land manuever +morale perma?) but disliking mercenary use (cuz what happened with mamluks, merc cost ++).
