Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Razgovory]

To explain, this is from an Old Gods game (so the game is FAR off the rails by now). The Poles were pagans till recently. I was waiting for the HRE to kick their ass and Christianize them. However, Poland reaches into Belarus and neighbors the mighty Balaban Steppe Empire (successor to Seljuks). They probably kicked Polish butt and converted the king.

Also, the Kingdom of Hungary is fully Fraticelli.

Yeah, I like the way heresy works.  If the Moral authority of the church falls you get a lot of heresy, essentially it's the protestant reformation come early.

So, what's the best score you guys have racked up for a single King? I need a goal to shoot for.

My current King who has reigned 36 years has over 13k prestige, and 5600 piety, but I'm sure you guys have done a lot better than that.

If you have the ruler designer you can put a whole bunch of disabilities on your king and boost his health sky high.  He'll essentially be immortal, allowing you to get ridiculously high prestige and piety.

I love the 'request invasion' option - you get to keep the primary title for your target *and* every single province you fully control.  Then you can set up an entirely new aristocracy.  I usually pick lowborn and that create new dynasties.

If I'm being Holy Warred by a Muslim mega-empire, how do I beg other Jesus lovers to bail me out?

[Sophie Scholl]

Does the ai not have a truce breaking penalty?  I swear, my Muslim neighbors as the Kingdom of Jerusalem attack me every 8 months.  It's annoying as hell, because I can't take any of their damned lands as punishment and they don't seem to suffer any setbacks at all.  They field maxed out doom stacks of troops every time and never seem to suffer from the prestige/money/whatever else you suffer for losing hits.  I am:  unhappy.  Also, the Old Gods expansion is killing me with random Christians deciding it's a fun day to continually show up on my shores and invade with 10's of thousands of troops like some roided up viking hordes.  Ugh.

I think you have to have married members of your dynasty into theirs to be able to call on them.

[Admiral Yi]

Then I'm fucked.

[Ed Anger]

Cheat.

[Razgovory]

Then I'm fucked.

There is a chance they'll join in to save your ass.

I'm close to restoring the Roman Empire in my current game and am thinking ahead.

Any strategy for playing Zorastrian aside from praying for Muslim fratricide and resurgent Byzantines?

They have reduced chance of inbreds (for some silly Paradoxian reason), so do marry siblings for the bonuses.

Persia is disunited in void left by Abbasids. Convert Turks for new allies.

Stutter is caused by character choices in game right, it's not due to inbreeding right? My heir just inherited and his two sons stutter and his daughter's an imbecile. Doesn't seem to be any inbreeding as far as I'm aware, just tremendously bad luck. 

[Maximus]

Stutter seems to be inheritable, I just had a kids born with a stutter, and his Mother stutters. Like a lot of negative inheritable traits it probably can be introduced by inbreeding but is not necessarily.
