Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[garbon]

The only examples I know of capturing the king did NOT end the war were during The Anarchy when both Geoffrey d'Anjou and Stephen of England are captured by their respective foes in a battle and The Empress agrees to swap Geoffrey for Stephen and the various times when Henry VI was held by Yorkists. In Stephen's case his brother kept the cause going during his capture and in fact Stephen really is doomed when he falls out with his brother and Henry VI was quite incompetent.

The cases of capture or killing of the arch-enemy ends the war is more than common. Harold at Hastings, John and Runnymead, John II at Poitiers, Olaf at Stiklestad and Harald Hardråde at Stamford Bridge.

Jean II. It helped but there was still almost an intervening decade before a treaty was drawn up.

So, worth buying?

Can you add more events for gay romance? I think this is more pressing than the other secondary shit you mention.

One of the hunting events had

"Guy saved me from a huge bear"

as it's text.. so I don't think the game needs more gay romance events

I'm sure Guillaume le Bastard, Edouard Longshanks and Henri Barberouge think his name is Jean rather than John or Johan.

It also helped that Paris was straight in the middle of the Jacquerie revolt, that power in Paris was being tugged between the États Géneraux, notables aligned with Charles II the Bad, King of Navarre (one with an even better claim to the French throne than Edward III, plus his own claim on the Duchy of Burgundy), and the Dauphin Charles (future Charles V) trying to rule as Regent while trying to keep his life (he did, while a few of his followers didn't, sometimes killed even in front of him in his own bedchamber).

My Komnenoi should have stayed in Antiocheia instead of aiming for emperor. Now the Empire is in the biggest civil war of the game and I doubt it'll survive in one piece

The reconquista is fun.  Looking ahead, is there an event which unifies the crowns into Spain, or is this all about holding the various Crowns against all comers?

I believe Willelm is the archaic French spelling.  At least that is what he was labelled as on the Bayeux tapestry.  And while Edward I was a native french speaker he took the Anglo-Saxon name Edward because the original guy was a Saint

When I play the Komenoi I am going to start the day after Alexios I takes the throne...in fact I think I am going to start on that date for every Eastern Med game since the Byzantines are a bit less overpowered, having lost all of Asia except for Trebizond.

As I understand it, for now it's just the various crowns.  There's a mod in the works by Wiz - who did good work on Rome, as I understand it, that adds new Empires such as Spain:

Well then you are mistaken in citing that as an example. Certainly wasn't the case that the war ended.

Ugh, I shouldn't have made fun of Gerbert. I've now Gerbert II and it is looking like Gerbert III will follow after him.

Not sure I quite follow the whole becoming English thing.  Seems a bit odd to turn English only to have my provinces remain Saxon.

[garbon]

Also, what do rebellious peasants do? Apart from when I've had a successful revolt cause a newly gained muslim territory to break away, I've never noticed them doing much.  I understand that rebel controlled provinces aren't remitting taxes/levies but for the most part I don't see much use in clearing rebels out of the territories of my rebellious vassals. Shame (seeing as how the rebels have leaders) that they don't try and declare themselves rulers of part of the province.

It didn't take 10 years to negotate the end of the war, it took 10 years for the french to be able to gather the funds. iirc part of the deal was to release John in exchange for a large group of nobles, including his competent heir iirc.
