yep , almohands is quite easy to play and their AUM are unchallenged early in the game. moreover they are cheap ,easu to make and you ll be using them all the way to the end. the Almohands might not start with rich provinces like the Egyptians do but its really easy to defend and attack and if you dominate the southern medditeranean sea you ll have no problem with attacks coming from that direction.

so my choice for islam is the Almohads , you just wait for the egyptians or spanish to engage in a war and then you march in their lands with no problem at all.
