Hello - you may notice I have changed my hat.

This is because I'm about to start a new campaign as the Moors. It will be my first in 1.2 (bit slow off the mark there)

Inspired by Didz and his story about a campaign he played in the old STW called "War of the Shadows", I've decided to try to win a long campaign with the following rule:

- no offensive battles against non-rebel factions

that is, I can't declare war against anyone or invade any territory that is not rebel held - I'm thinking of making an exception for jihads, but to avoid exploiting it I won't call any myself...

so, I'm going to need to make full use of agents - spies and priests for unrest to make provinces rebel, diplomats to buy territories and get vassals, and merchants to get me lots of money

I've read the FAQs, some threads on agent use and a couple on the Moors themselves, but I thought I'd throw it open to everyone to pitch in with suggestions as to other strategies I might use, or observations on whether this sounds like a fun game...

and when I get going I'll post back and let you know whether it worked

If it gets boring I guess I can just blitz with camel gunners!
