Corsairs+EoT+1

++ Will be devoted to the usual taxing and plundering, exempting the Birds of Prey and stretching the reach along Algeria's coast to make up for that loss. + Will aid in the defense of the capital city of Long-Titled Algeria. ++ Will go through the Strait of Gibraltar, splitting the bill for passage with the Celestial Empire. Once on the other side, they'll wait along the coast of the Kingdom of the Beshadowed Sun to provide military aid in the event of an attack by Loki's Brigade, which we suspect will occur soon. When the attack comes, our forces will move in to contain the damage caused, but rather than disrupting the pillaging they'll target the tactical points of the defenders, aiming to conquer and occupy. If Loki's Brigade doesn't show up... Just land on the coastal cities and wipe out the guards with goblin swarms supported by mercenary gunmen. Afterward, assuming that Loki's Brigade continues with the plan I recommended to them, half of my forces will move south with them, toward Tangiers. If they don't, or didn't show... Half will still go, only it'll be half rounded down instead of half rounded up.
 * Mil**:

++ Will hit the east coast of Tangiers in Territory 4, targeting the Golden City, aiming to coordinate with a strike by Loki's Brigade on the Silver City. If no such attack occurs, they'll just use their alibi of having the payment for the above fleet to return if looting went poorly to find out when the west fleet passes by the Silver City in Territory 3. The attack on the Golden City will be from a position explicitly outside the strike range of the Strait Gate's defenses, which will hopefully force the defenses of the city to the east coast. Then the west fleet will land, ideally with saboteurs from the Celestial Empire having disposed of the watch along that coast, and make a mad rush for the Duke's palace, aiming to take the entire palace for ransom.

Anything left after paying for passage through the Strait and the trade deals set up with Birds of Prey and Algeria (one is trading pretty loot for food, the other is spending a bit of plunder in their cities in exchange for tighter net with which to raid) will be invested in local infrastructure: Red Anthony doesn't want to depend on the Birds of Prey for food.
 * Econ**:

The mercenaries attacking the Kingdom of the Beshadowed Sun will have high praise of Corsair rulership for the disgruntled peasants.
 * Morale**:

++ Will go toward aiding the Military actions in KotBS and Tangiers, whether by improvising an explosive to get through a fortified gateway or converting the King's populace with a speech of Sparky passion. The Celestial Empire wants looted ESP, so if there's a Sparky way to do that... Go for gusto.
 * Spark**:

++ Will go toward the development of infrastructure, although less "farms and roads" and more "bread and circuses."

All offensive espionage will go toward sabotaging the Army of the Architect, as aforementioned. Crippling dirigible engines, assassinating their few precious repairmen, disabling communications... Anything that the Smoke Knights of fallen Sparks can get away with.
 * Espionage**:

What reputation we have is in reliability, and hopefully that will help the populace in the Kingdom of the Beshadowed Sun accept our rule.
