Please also explain the situation as best you can. Alliances, army strength, ideas, tech etc. are all factors your advisors will need to know to give you the best possible answer.

    Calling all imperial councillors! Many of our linked guides pre-Dharma (1.26) are missing strategy regarding mission trees. Any help in putting together updated guides is greatly appreciated! Further, if you're answering a question in this thread, chances are you've used the EU4 wiki and know how valuable a resource it can be. When you answer a question, consider checking whether the wiki has that information where you would expect to find it, and adding to the wiki if it does not.

    The proper way to handle Granada as Castile

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 08:16 AM PDT

    Hi, so I've played plenty of Castile in my days of EU4, and over those days, I constantly see inaccurate advice on the best way to handle the Reconquista of Granada. Specifically in regards to the event "Fate of the Kingdom of Granada." After annexing Granada, Castile gets this event from their mission tree which gives them two options:

    1. Lose 2 stability and convert every Granadan province to Catholic.
    2. Gain 1 stability.

    Every guide I've seen on Castile says to take option 1, as it completes the next mission in the tree. However, this is clearly the inferior option. If you take option 2, you gain the one stability in addition to the availability of a new event which will fire in around 1 year. This event "Torquemada and the Conversion of the Moors," can only fire if you didn't take option 1 on the previous event. This second event gives the following options:

    1. Gain a level 1 Inquisitor (2% missionary strength) who is 50% cheaper to employ. In addition, the Granadan provinces gain some unrest, tax, and manpower reduction.
    2. Gain 1 stability and +1 tolerance of Heathens until your ruler's death.

    For this event it is always better to take option 1. This is because the negative modifiers for the Granadan provinces is negligible since they already have high autonomy, as well as the fact that a cheap admin advisor is super strong early game to get tech 5 quicker. While taking option 2 may sound good as it's free stability, doing so will render you unable to convert Granada in a timely manner. This is because if option 2 is taken and you station a missionary in a Granadan province, there is a high chance another event will trigger called "War of Las Alpujarras." This event gives you -1 stability, spawns separatist rebels, and changes the religion of ALL Granadan provinces back to Sunni. It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to convert the 4 provinces without triggering this, as it has a mtth of 60 months. Taking option 1 in this case is better, since, as stated earlier, negative modifiers are negligible and the missionary strength advisor will help convert the provinces manually faster. To compare the two initial strategies:

    1. Taking the -2 stability to convert the provinces
    2. Taking the +1 stability and a half-cost missionary strength advisor to convert the provinces manually

    I think it's obvious that option 2 is better. Primarily because as Castile you want admin tech 5 fast to start colonising, and stabing up twice to counter the first event really hinders that progress. Paying some monthly ducats to manually convert the provinces heavily outweighs this. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

    TL;DR: when you conquer Granada, don't take the -2 stability. Instead take option 2 and convert the provinces manually.
