:hmm:

In my game as Wessex, Shia Caliphate formed in Portugal. It now has nearly all of Iberia and France and parts of Germany.  As the Abbasids weren't attacked, they've re-formed and took out nearly all of the Byzantine holdings (BE exists in Sicily, Crete and Serbia).  When it isn't in the midst of civil wars, Hungary is strong as it managed to reform the Tengri faith.

I played a game as Gotland and did the old CK standard of picking on the Balts.
Unfortunately I had to become Lithuania, couldn:t have a an uber Gotland. also unfortunately due to the messed up inheritance  laws I lost Gotland itself when my first guy died. Subsequently I was sure to send off subsequent sons to temples.
The game is indeed easy as vikings. You can just invade and conquer as you please.
A bit unfortunate there:s no ramifications for taking foreign queens as concubines, their husbands just switch to being unmarried and don:t care one way or the other.

In my game Hungary has been the big winner. A uber Carpathian Empire lies to my south and lookings scary and unlikely to break up. But my game has grown boring by now anyway. So meh,.

QuoteWe also have something special planned for August; two smaller DLCs (and no, they are not portrait or unit packs...)

The companions to Sunset Invasion, with hordes invading from the south and north? :P

The AI needs to not be so eager to break betrothals. I had my son betrothed to Queen of Italy but unfortunately he inherited his father's little kingdom of Navarra first. He then decided that he didn't want his heirs to also have Italy...

the byzantenes are having a heck of a run in the game i'm playing atm (and no, I'm not them); they've resecured anatolia, taken all of Syria and most of the Holy land, most of Italy, most of the Balkans, and half of France. And they're hanging on to it too. Catholicism is probably doomed as they only need to take Alexandria to complete their set of patriarchates

Here's a weird one.  I've had sons trying to marry their father's concubines.  These were women I had kidnapped and made concubines just to be ass hole.  Not good stats, just did it to bring suffering to their husbands.  I even had a mother daughter pair.  My King died, and I'm playing one of his sons and my brothers and nephews are trying to marry these women.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Holy crap I just lost a game! As Granada (1066 scen). Mostly thanks to Castile getting half of the peninsula and roflstomping me in a couple of wars, then a crusade finished off my realm.

If you decide that you shall never ever reload, the game can occasionally still present challenges.

I used to do that until I decided that losing every game to CTD or bluescreen was not fun.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Perhaps you need to get a better machine?

Hey, this was in EU1. Show me an EU1 player that didn't crash all the time and I'll show you a liar.

People reload in this game if it doesn't provide their optimal result? :huh:

Here's an odd one.  My daughter-in-law invited me into a scheme to revoke her own titles.
