I, Maximillian von Tyrolia, Fifth Elector, believe that it is in the best interest for our trade/missionary expedition that I and another suited merchant go to the rich gold fields of Timbuktu, while another merchant goes to Egypt to access its resources and divert them from our foes.

As far as the priests, they should be sent together to a single Egyptian city, preferably a productive city. This will increase unrest in that city and possibly bring about rebellion, or at least force Egypt to transfer resources that may have been used fighting our Kingdom of Outremer to quash internal conflicts. The largest port city should be chosen for this mission.
