Crusader Kings III

[Caliga]

Emperor Limoncello 

[jimmy olsen]

Started a new game as the independent Armenian Duke on the Black Sea between the Byzantine's and the Abbassids in the 867 start.

Did the sensible thing and swore to Constantinople and started attacking smaller neighbors. Like two years in the Abbasids caved to an independence demand and among the states let go was the Kingdom of Armenia which is ruled by my dynasty. Kind of annoying. Well, I've gobbled up enough of Georgia to crown myself king. I just have to save up enough money.

[Caliga]

Ok Spellus.

Ok Spellus.

My goal is to eventually take over the empire and convert them to the Apostolic church and convert them all culturally to Armenians.

[Caliga]

...and then force them to all read Kierkegaard, dress in hipster fashion, and spell incorrectly?

[The Minsky Moment]

Watch as he converts them all to Arminianism and ends up with a bunch of Dutch Reformed Byzantines.

I tried to do that in EU2 once - there were events that have the Byzantines the option of healing the Schism and going catholic, with the later intent of going Reformed.

I don't think I was able to pull it off though - the problem of my state religion being different from my population was too much when combined with the Turks.

If you'd gotten big enough to heal the schism, surely the Turks shouldn't have been an issue.  You would have had to conquer Syria, the Levant, Egypt and Italy.

Nah - this was something different.  Maybe it was a mod, but I don't think so.  It wasn't "healing the schism", but rather submitting to Rome.  It converted your state religion to catholic, while all your provinces remained orthodox.  Remember this was EU2.

There was this: The Council of Florence and the Union of the Churches

[jimmy olsen]

I managed to found Georgia, so things were going well.



Then things were going great. The Emperor pressed my claim for the heart of Armenia and easily won. I then usurped that Kingdom and the two were split between my two oldest sons when I died, but that's okay. More renown for me.

[jimmy olsen]

My brother was my friend and supported me a lot, but he recently gave into the Emperor's demands to convert to Orthodoxy, so I've had to declared war on him in order to claim the throne of Armenia and set things right.

I'm king of Georgia and Armenia. I can't declare a holy war on a neighboring independent 2 county Muslim state. Why?

I am Armenian Apostolic.
I am a vassal of the Byzantine Emperor. The Emperor is an Orthodox Christian. Crown authority is level 2.

Vassals may only declare holy wars if they are of the same faith as their liege.

Thought it might be something like that.
