Comment: This mission was removed with Divine Wind patch 5.1. — Check the enemy size before declaring war because even with the 50% cost of the subjugation casus belli, the Mamluks are usually still too big to be forced-vassalised. In that case, try diplomacy, or let them release Syria first (through rebellions or in peace treaty) and conquer some of their lands before trying to subjugate them.
