Just noticed that you cannot Jihad on Symrna when it's rebel controlled on turn 1.

Also I don't get which cities you can and cannot Jihad.

The Jihad list in turn 1 gives you a list which I cannot see the logic of.
You can Jihad Lisbon but not Novogrod etc ? Although neither, in fact most, of the Jihad targets have not yet been discovered by you in game (playing Turks).

Does anyone have any explanation ?

Jihad against Symrna would be great on turn 1 as it would give you a castle on the Byzantine coast.

You can Jihad on Trabzon, a Byzantine target for turn 1, as is Symrna.

I don't get it. What am I missing ?
