CBS didn ' t even show a replay of the first call . <| sep |> Starting moves Mamluks are always friendly in the latest patch , ally them immediately . Build claims on shammar and haasa , most likely they ' ll be weakest you can ally hejaz too but wait for them to ally oman or haasa first so you can work around the guarantee of mamluks . Also if you ally them don ' t marry . Eat haasa , build claims on oman . Attack them with the mamluks . If shammar is allied to mamluks , eat them before peacing out . Improve relations with kebab and marry them . Eventually they will turn friendly so you can ally them . Attack qq , release iraq and feed them . After annexing them take ilam from qq and release persia . Try to keep your wars constant , use ottos to attack qq and timurids and mamluks to expand into africa . That would give you a nice start . I hope it wasnt too complicated
