Put the squeeze on HK and lowland with alliance with Not!India and Not!China. Alliance with amber post is also cool.

If you really want to ally China and India it would probably be best to not also vote for an option worth twice as much.

Allying with people from the Spice and Tea lands is the least likely option to win, and thus voting for the most weighted option makes that alliance have an even lesser chance.

Egypt is just a her ally good idea, and we want to reclaim our former lands. Specifically, we want the Fertile Crescent and all those shinies intbeh librarians. We also want to just down the highlanders before they can claim the lowlands.

Edit: focusing on east-south to avoid the European firestorm we setup. Come back after ashes have settled.

For that sweet synergy.

Going north or northwest with the Triple Crown would serve the same purpose, but I don't actually care about defeating Not!Portugal. They'll just end up getting replaced with Not!Britain as the main maritime threat anyway. Let's use the distraction we've caused to grab something useful.

We need to retake the ancestral lands of the People, yet if these lightning rounds have taught me anything, it's that higher multipliers = bad. So I'm a bit wary of taking it, but Highland Kingdom Delenda Est.

Changed my vote. Apparently, the lowlanders dislike the pastoralists. So in order to not antagonize both groups, I'd like to get our agricultural breadbasket back to fuel further projects. Even at this stage, a food surplus is vital. And the lowlands provide it. They are fiercely independent but are fascinated by our culture. So we are well served to leverage it.

Allies stays the same. We need someone that has an interest in shitting in the Vortugas cereal of their own volition.

I think we can start to pull a Russia in the steppe as we can't be that far from railroads

Mylathads are Not!Zoroastrians, the Highlanders are the Not!Israelites, although there aren't really any Jews in the sense of a diasporic religious group, while Crow has mostly been subsumed into the monotheistic tradition that supplanted the polytheistic beliefs. God is seen of as a somewhat distant and alien father figure attended to by crows and crow winged servants in the Ymaryn traditions.

So I'm guessing not!Odin is much more in line with the Christian personification of god, if the Norse faiths even developed with us spreading our shit like we are.

Congratulations, not!god and the angelic host are closely associated with incredibly intelligent carrion birds. Game over, we win.

Interestingly, I imagine that nature veneration/sanctity is much more of a theme in the current version of the texts, especially our versions of them. Extrapolating that to the modern world paints a somewhat nice picture.

The fact that the universities included gymnasia, and a tradition among the People of individual scholars settling intractable matters among each other with contests of physical prowess, meant that soon enough there was a proliferation of unarmed fighting styles among the Syffryn radical theologians. Given that the radicals often disagreed with each other, theological debates in the town square frequently involved a combination of shouted rhetoric and unarmed combat.

You are doing Crow's Work :V
 
Honestly, trying to get Highland Kingdom is an utterly bad idea.
They were shown as being practically violent religious zealots living in mountains.

Trying to get them would result in a guerilla campaign unseen before, one that would go on for hundreds of yeats if not millenia.

Let us not create our own Afghanistan paired with Vietnam.
