Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Viking]

I hate you bastards, I have to wait another 8-9 months before I can play this.

Wtf why?

That's when I get back from Afghanistan.

What, the Internet doesn't deliver electrons to Afghanistan?

and, why oh why did you have to burn those korans?

[Martim Silva]

I've only seen mercenaries reinforce in the field.  Don't think it's possible for normal levies.

It is, but you need to be inside your own borders at the end of the month. And it is very slow.

Also, how do you people manage to play so fast? I usually use speeds 1 or (at peace) 2. I'd never try to go faster.

And the game is a killer. Even my mommy declared war on me when I was just an infant (she had an affair with my greatest rival).

I manage speed by pausing constantly...

But, seriously, mommy declaring war on you tops my worst case where my step mom (my children would be her only grandchildren) first excommunicated me then declared war on me because she had a claim on one of my provinces.

This. Game seems made for pausing given that there is no grace period when you acquire too many duchies or holdings.

I agree.  This problem actually worries me about how MP could play out; if you're waging a holy war and take over a duchy, you're practically guaranteed to blow your desmense limit by at least 5 holdings (possibly 10), causing practically all your vassals to move into instant revolt mode.  There'd be no choice but to pause everytime you won a war like that...

Yeah agreed. Does seem troubling for MP.

Irene and Constantine VI come to mind.

[Octavian]

In my game as Byzantium it's 1088 and France is once again involved in a civil war.

Early on Philippe died and left the throne to his no good brother Hugh II who failed big time in his war in Spain. A civil war against Aquitaine broke out but he was able to win. Then he died or lost the throne. Suddenly Etienne I de Blois sat on the throne. Right now three factions are all fighting for the throne. De Blois and the De  Bourgogne (Capetians), who are supported by Toulouse, Flanders, Tours and some other counties. The final contender is the duke of Aquitaine.

My money is on the Bourgogne faction.

England was relatively early on won by the Normans. However she has suffered several revolts. Right now William is incapable and his son William II of Oxford-Evreaux (sp?) is leading a revolt to depose him.

At dial-up speeds it would take weeks to download.  And I don't have a PC.

That dumb-ass MP unit used to be in the same Reserve center as us.  I recruited everybody worth a damn away from them because their leadership was totally worthless.

Soo.. if you had left them with some competent servicemen then this lethal koranburning clusterfuck wouldn't have happened.


and isn't it really really poor opsec to tell us you used to be based in the same place as them?

Great, Hans has gone from firing officers to getting them killed.

Hans's new thread: "I fragged my own boss!"

[Martinus]

I guess the US military is scrapping at the bottom of the barrel, since they now send fatsos with squeaky voices to Afghanistan.

[Tamas]

Seems like somobody got off on the wrong toe this morning.

[Razgovory]

Marty always goes way to far.
