After a successful Crusade, the new King of Jerusalem has gone native ... 

[Syt]

So, based on a quick reddit search, it seems that successful Crusaders becoming Muslim may be a common thing. It seems that the AI is doing it to make relations with neighbors more manageable. Which would be kinda smart, but no really?

[Habbaku]

Yes, that's something I imagine they'll fix really quickly. Crusading Kings/Queens go native even when in Spain, for instance, and it's really annoying to have to beat up the guy I put on the throne just to make him see The Light.

Broke down and bought it, played an hour and half. Dabbled with the tutorial to get a handle on the UI and then started a game as Morcar, Duke of Deria.

Went to the arrange marriage screen, and the first two candidates on the list are Harald Hardrad's daughters. Given the situation and the fact that the war for England is one of the main starting scenarios, you'd think there would be a special event for the situation were an Anglo-Saxon vassal marries one of them. A chance to betray King Harold, or stab you're new father in law in the back.

The graphics are great. Some of the UI has significantly improved, but there are several map modes that I am missing a lot, the vassal map especially. I used that one a ton.

Yeah I had big trouble with the lack of a vassal map initially until I realised it is there. Click on the banner of a vassal of yours the map will switch.

I do think it's all a bit cluttered at the minute - this may be because I have a laptop so a smaller screen so those banners on the right hand side are quite large and obtrusive. Plus all the tooltips

Needed to update my graphics card drivers more than once in two years.

So I had a bit of an inheritance dilemma. With two sons and three duchy titles, one duchy would have been split off. So I disinherited the younger one, gave him some land to shut him up and things looked fine. However, after a few years it turns out that my oldest son is a cowardly, lazy glutton with trait scores of 5-7, while the younger one is just temperate, and has a stewardship score of 20.

So I restore the younger one's inheritance, but I can't disinherit the older one because I, uhm, spent too much prestige in wars and am now in the red.

I try to regain prestige, but it's rather slow, so I decide to go for a county that's part of one of my duchies (Saarbrücken), and let my oldest son lead the army. It worked well, within two battles he was dead. Yay!

And in the next battle my other son died (after losing an arm in the previous battle). No!

Now my heir is my 44 year old daughter. Fortunately, her first marriage was matrilienal, because she was an only child for quite some time, so the line is secure. But damn, not quite what I had in mind.

Is she HOTT?

I played a game as Matilda di Canossa, Duchess of Tuscany. She starts 20 years old and she died age 64, so I had a lot of time.

Early on, I was lucky and could fabricate a claim on the Duchy of Lombardy. It was just a small step from there to becoming Queen of Italy. My lodge then handed over a few vassals, among them the Duke of Piedmont. Who was married to the heiress of Aquitaine.

I conquered Corsica and Sardinia and became Queen of Sardinia. Then I murdered the husband of my daughter to get her a matrilineal marriage and named her as my beneficiary for the first crusade. I won and she became Queen of Jerusalem. She had no children though and her older half-brother of another dynasty inherited.

I could usurp the Kingdom of Aquitaine then. I eventually reached enough fame for the highest degree of prestige. I became independent from the HRE towards the end of my life, but could not create the Italian Empire before I died.

My three sons each inherited one kingdom, but all vassals remained with my primary heir, so I guess I will usurp their titles and try to forge that Empire after all.

Even on my screen things seem cluttered, with pop up screens overlapping.

And there are plagues, I think someone was asking before. Bubonic plague showed up at my court. Physician took care of it quickly though.

My oldest daughter inherited my title, but unfortunately half my domain went to my youngest son's daughter. So my new ruler went to work to murder her niece (inbred, clubfooted). Which went well.

However, I then inherited my niece's defensive war against an anti-tyrannical faction, which I quickly lost before being able to do something about it, so within a year of inheriting the extra lands I was deposed. My oldest daughter (who is in her 20s and quite competent) took over, so I'm not too mad, but I feel a tyrannical faction war should probably stop when the tyrant is dead? Unless you argue they're against the whole dynasty, but then they did put someone from the family back on the throne, so ...

Papal excommunication ain't no joke. 200+ year ironman game ended due to having all my titles revoked.

That's a load of bull.
