Crusader Kings 2 Redux

Yes, al Mansur would be a zombie if walking in 1066.

I was quickly reminded of why I don't like to play large empires in CK2.

You need to set your message filters. Right click the offending message and set your options.

Well my problem has usually been I do need to read those messages some of the time

LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE I'M TRYING TO FIND A HOT CHICK TO NAIL

And when you are a Muslim you need three more.

Yes, I've still yet to find optimal mix that notifies me on things I'll actually care about but then doesn't bother me about when ever little insignificant character decides to plot against another insignificant one.

My favourite too is one some nobody asks me to plot against a nobody. Off with your head?

[Syt]

All those faction notifications used to drive me mental.

And I almost inevitably lose my CK2 games by being brought low by factions

My Komnenian restoration game grinds on. As you can see, I completely dominate the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

The Sunni religion has been almost completely destroyed. The Shia have controlled the Arabian penninsula for a century and have conquered much of Southern Persia. Sunni moral authority has been so long that the Yinalid sultanate was taken over by Jewish nobles which caused a massive civil war, won mostly be Zikri heritics, who now rule the Inalid sultanate. My eastern vassal kings took advanated of the turmoil. The King of Armenia forced the Duchy on the south coast of the Caspian to convert, while the King of Mesopotamia conquered six or seven counties in several Holy Wars. I think the only Sunni nation left is Olas.

How'd you spread the orthodox religion everywhere?

[jimmy olsen]

How'd you spread the orthodox religion everywhere?

If you control Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch and Rome you can end the Schism.

When you do that Catholism becomes a heresy and around half of the Catholic counties and characters convert. Sometimes the numbers will fall so that a few large states manage to remain Catholic, but this time most of the major Kings went Orthdox, including the HRE, so they quickly holy warred the remaining Catholics into oblivion.

Combination of starting as Emperor and save scumming.

Started a new game as Duke of Alemannia. First few decades were more about what AI was doing than anything myself as spent most of my time fending off increase in council power requests.

It's now a little over 7 years since Karl 'The Frog' died in battle. (Charlemagne's nickname in this timeline where he punked out and white peaced when invading the Lombards.)



Thanks to the efforts of Warrior Duchess Osterhild, her son, Karl, is currently first in-line to inherit Burgundy and his sister cemented a marriage alliance with West Francia and Karl is betrothed to a Lombard princess. Kingdom of Burgundy is currently ruled by Pepin the Hunchback who Osterhild had looped into a matrilineal marriage. Sadly, Osterhild died of wounds sustained in battle while trying to for the puny kingdom of Austrasia to become a tributary.

If Pepin doesn't manage to lose his kingdom before his son can inherit, hoping to doubleback and smash out Germany with eventual plan to move on Bavaria/Italy to get to HRE.

Oh and right now, Pepin is losing battle to Germany while trying to take Bern (one of my vassals). Was a bit odd as he declared the war while Osterhild was alive and his ally.

What the hell is up with the latest patch? I have tons of vassal kings and dukes converting to Sunni islam all of a sudden.

[garbon]

I would guess they are secretly sunni and then there are enough that they declare it openly.

If they were descended from Sunni lords that I conquered and foolishly kept in power that would make sense, but they're not. They're Greek lords from a long line of Orthodox Greek lords. I could see them being secret iconoclasts or whatever, but secret Sunnis just does not make sense.
