National missions

Religious missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Choose Direction Our realm - the whole royal family as well as the aristocracy - is made up of devoted Muslims while the peasants and lower burghers are tribal heathens. In such a [Root.GovernmentName] the question of religious direction is more important than ever. We have to make a choice if we want to see inner stability prevail.	Mali: Is Muslim Has had the event ‘'"Islamization of the Aristocracy"'’.	If Mali choses the option: "Let us convert our people!", gets the mission Convert Mali "Let us not rock the boat.", gets the mission Tolerate Tradition
Convert Mali With the Islamization of our aristocracy we have decided to convince our people to embrace Islam as well. We should get going with it, root the heathen practices of the past out and eliminate the power the [Root.GetDhimmiName] has over us.	Every owned province has our religion Clergy estate has at least 2 privileges Dhimmi estate less than 35 influence	Mali gains “Ulema full Support” for 25 years, giving: +2 Tolerance of the true faith +15% Clergy loyalty equilibrium If the country has the clergy estate, then the estate gains 10 loyalty, else if the country is Hindu and has the brahmins estate, then the estate gains 10 loyalty.	Choose Direction
Tolerate Tradition We have decided to let our rural people keep practicing their traditional religion. However the upper class of our realm is not too keen on it. We need to increase our public tolerance of the old traditions and reduce the power the [Root.GetClergyName] has over our [Root.GovernmentName].	Mali has at least +3 Tolerance of Heathens Dhimmi estate: Has at least 2 privileges Has at least 50 influence	Mali gains “Dhimmi full Support” for 25 years, giving: +2 Maximum tolerance of heathens +15% Dhimmi loyalty equilibrium	Choose Direction

Colonization missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Create a Trade Fleet Ever since the days of our golden age, Malian merchants relied on caravans and land paths to reach Egypt, Arabia or Europe. However, the decline of our nation after Mansa Musa's death has shown that these trade paths are no longer sufficient. We need to adapt and travel per sea to reach the lucrative markets instead. But to achieve this we need first a trade fleet.	Mali: Has at least 10 light ships Owns core province Gabu (1114)	Province Gabu (1114): If has a Center of Trade level 1 Increase Center of Trade to level 2 Else: Gain 2 base production	Subjugate Jolof
Mystery of Ko Mamadi The predecessor of Mansa Musa was - according Musa himself that is - the curious Mansa Ko Mamadi, better known in the Arabian language as Muhammad ibu Qu. Ko Mamadi vanished from Mali when he and a fleet of a thousand ships sailed to the west and never returned. While our good Musa was a pious and generous man, the truthfulness of the story of Ko Mamadi is... questionable to our court. Still, the mystery of Ko Mamadi is one which intrigues our sailors and royalty alike, and it is worth it to consider charting the Western Sea.	Mali has Exploration first idea “Quest for the New World”	Trigger the event “The Quest for the lost Fleet”	Create a Trade Fleet
Search for the Lost Fleet The quest for the lost fleet still goes on. There must be somewhere a wreck, proving the existence of the fleet and the legend of Ko Mamadi...	If is not playing with a Random New World Mali has discovered any province in the South America continent Else: Mali has discovered any province in the New World continent	If is not playing with a Random New World Trigger the event “LAND DISCOVERED!” Else: Mali gains a conquistador with 50 army tradition	Mystery of Ko Mamadi
Ko Mamadi's Ambition While Mansa Ko Mamadi's and his fleet's existence remains a mystery, the discovery of South America is a result of the fascination his story has caused for us. As a final nod to his legend, we should pursue his ambition and colonize this continent for the glory of Mali.	If is not playing with a Random New World Mali or its non-tributary subjects own at least 10 provinces in the South America continent Else: Mali or its non-tributary subjects own at least 10 provinces in the New World continent	Mali: Gain 800 ducats Gain “Colonial Enthusiasm” for 25 years, giving: +10% Settler chance +1 Colonist	Search for the Lost Fleet

Subjugate Jolof Jolof used to be our vassal during their early days, but due to our own internal struggles they managed to declare independence. They had their hundred years of sovereignty, but now it is time for them to return under our care.

Prepare the Pilgrimage Pilgrimages to Mecca are a sacred duty for every pious Muslim. It has additional meaning to us as traditionally our Mansas travelled to Mecca with riches in the name of Allah. This time an even greater pilgrimage should be undertaken - one which goes through the wonders of Europe too. But for that we need the economy to finance the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]'s journey and a competent court which takes over [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] duties in the meantime.	Mali: Has no ongoing disaster Is not in a regency Has no loan Has less than 1 Corruption Has +3 Stability Has at least 50 ducats as monthly income Is employing any Administrative advisor of at least level 3 Is employing any Diplomatic advisor of at least level 3 Is employing any Military advisor of at least level 3	Trigger the event “A new Pilgrimage Route”	Reach Europe Protect West African Trade Show Generosity

Mansa to Arms The once great time of Mansa Musa is over, yet our realm was never able to recover from it. This must change!

Appease the Bambara The Bambara of Segu in the Massina region expressed great discomfort under our rule. They wish to break away from us.

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Conquer Djenné The state Djenné used to be one of our trade partners and was even a vassal of our great empire at one point. With our decline, Djenné managed to gain independence. They are now trading with our rivals and support them. We can not allow them to continue, and have to annex their state into our own.	Mali or its non-tributary subjects owns province Jenne (1134)	Trigger the event “The Great Mosque of Djenné” Mali gains a permanent claim on: Kong area	Mansa to Arms
Retake Timbuktu The great city of Timbuktu was once an essential part of our empire as it was the trading post, which connects West Africa with Europe.

Gold and Ivory Gold has traditionally always been the main export good of [Root.GetName], and many foreigners would do anything for the gold nuggets our great [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] possesses.

Show Generosity If Muslim: Possessing wealth and the riches of the earth is great, but it does not fulfil the vision of the Prophet. Instead of sitting on our riches we should follow the steps of the great Mansa Musa and share our gold with our brethren of faith, most notably those in Anatolia, Egypt and, of course, Mecca. Else: This world has gifted us with valuable metals and other riches, and we know how to enjoy it. However, it is not in the spirit of our shamans and our beliefs.

Disaster missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
A Competent Court After Mansa Musa's death in 1337, his son Maghan took over the throne - the first of many terrible rulers we had to endure after our golden age. In the year 1341, Maghan was succeeded by his uncle Suleyman, who reverted the many financial mistakes his nephew made. But after his death, Mali had only Mansa who ruled for a few months, or were absolute tyrants. If we want to finally recover from our history we need a competent Mansa on our throne - or at least a Mansa, who knows competent people for the court.

Gain Estate Favors It is no secret that our realm is going through its darkest time. Many of our population fear the worst while subjects and rivals are looking for opportunities to exploit our weakened state. In times like these we need unity and integrity within our court more than ever. We should build some favors with the estates to ensure that they will not turn on us the second they get the chance to.	Burghers estate has at least 60 loyalty Clergy estate has at least 60 loyalty Nobility estate has at least 60 loyalty	'Estate rebels' will no longer rise up during the "Decline of Mali" disaster. Mali gains 1 stability	A Competent Court
Handle the Kaabu People Gabu have been part of Mali ever since the 13th century. But due to our steady decline for almost hundred years, the people of Gabu have been feeling neglected and desire a state of their own, completely independent from us - especially after they got into contact with the Europeans and no longer wish to be our middle man. We should show them our empathy and affection so we do not have another part of our country falling out of our grasp.	Mali: Owns core province Gabu (1114) with at least 15 Development Has 'Senegambian' as primary or accepted culture Has no rebel army is present in the country Kaabu does not exist or is our subject	'Separatist rebels' will no longer rise up during the "Decline of Mali" disaster.

West African Great Power Our empire was on the verge of complete decline, and yet we managed to survive and even grow! But while we are dominating our home region, we are by far not the only great power in this world. The Europeans, too, have formed powerful states on their own and now try to enforce their will upon the people of Africa. We need to grow in power and let every one of these petty Europeans know that their ambitions can not be enforced on us!	No country with its capital in Europe: Has country's total development is at least that of Mali	Mali gains “Patron of Africa” for the rest of the game, giving: −1% Prestige decay +10% Morale of armies +10% Morale of navies	Restore Mali Authority Show Generosity
