Romanga has to be a genre of Japanese comic books

Interesting to see byzantium holding constantinople but otherwise diminished. Not played ck3 yet but never seen that in other games.

Coptic King of Nubia inherited and the empire blew up.

Researched all techs by 1301. That might need to be adjusted

Venerable Jorge feels that no further knowledge is necessary.

Techs complete

I quickly took a county from Aquitaine and created the kingdom of Burgundy and gave it my 2nd son.

Had to attack my Kretan allies because one of my Duke's was going to inherit it and gain independence. Pressed that Duke's claim and crowned him early.

Doing well. That Persian dynasty is the only one with bigger prestige than mine. Syria is ruled by one of my branch houses.

It is quite frustrating that they have carried over from CK2 the fact that being an Empire makes you MORE stable as opposed to less.

It is made here even worse. Vassals when of an Empire (or any strong state, really) will be conquering weaker foes around them. However, the will never be a target of any counter-attacks by their neighbours because declaring war on them would mean declaring war on the Empire itself. But the vassal declaring war does not draw to the Empire in of course so there are no ramifications on that level. In several games I managed to actually ignore for a while just how much my realm was growing without me doing a bloody thing.

This might be historical but in effect results in some absurd snowballing which even if you ignore the ahistorical nature of it, just makes the gameworld boring.

Also, the internal challenge just seems easier even than vanilla CK2, and not even close to CK2 HIP.
