I think my days of buying 4 figure gaming rigs are over.

Is 5 figure gaming rigs a thing?

I meant as in comparison to a 3 figure computer or console.

So I conquered a bit more and then founded the Kingdom of Sicily. I have all my de jure land except Syracuse which is held by a Byzantine doux and Capua and Benevento, held by the Pope.

I lost my brother and ally Roger in a battle and that increased stress.

I have a shitty "partition" succession law, which seems to be the new name for Gavelkind. My Norman culture has not yet invented anything better, so I cannot change out of it. I wonder if I can culture shift to Sicilian.

The way councillor tasks or sieges work seems to be much less random than before, which simplifies the system, but also makes it utterly predictable.

I guess I will just consolidate my holdings a bit now and wait for the Crusades to start. I hope they built a fun system for these.

Yeah I wonder if my bishop was just that good or it really is going to be this quick and predictably easy to fabricate claims.

Also in that regard, are there just a lot of inheritable claims on Poland in 1066? In a decade or maybe two I have seen the Kingdom of Poland be forcefully taken first by a Hungarian Duke, then the ruler of Ruthenia, then the King of Bohemia.

The stellar reviews and the streamers/YouTubers seem to point to one thing: This is the greatest game Paradox has ever made :hmm:
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Habbaku

It isn't crashing 100 times on launch and is actually fun to play out of the box. In addition, the UI and map don't suck.

So, yeah, I think it might actually be Paradox's most successful release.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Really want to play this, but I won't have time until January I think. :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any illness in the game apart from some form of STD.

I had a smallpox outbreak in my court. 8 characters had it, including my countess who died, and several who were left disfigured.

I feel secrets/hooks might be a bit OP? It feels quite easy to blackmail your way to a more advantageous feudal contract.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
