Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Grinning_Colossus]

The Jews get fucked over in the game. Randomly expelled and burnt at the stake... to say nothing of poor Khazaria. I finally threw in the towel once the Arabs thoroughly assimilated Anatolia and turned north -- their CB gives them all of Alania and Azov. I kept killing the Caliphs (with the help of their Ashkenazic advisers  ), but it didn't do much.

I noticed for the first time that the Shia Caliphate event fires even if there are large Shia powers around. The Idrisids had converted and were holding their own when Shia Caliphate tried to rise up in Seljuk Persia (failed, of course).  Seems like it would have made sense to give it to some already existing character given that there was a sizable Shia kingdom.

Has anyone ever made a Rurikid Rus that wasn't a complete mess?  I really wish I could just give up Thor worship and speaking Old Norse right off the bat.

Would it be impossible to have some kind of ethnogenesis system?  So there's an East Slavic, Norse and Mordvin culture, but once the Rus' conquered everything they all mix with Russian as the common culture?  Kind of like how English pops up?

Russian?  Russian?  Oh man the Ukrainians are going to rip your head off.

The Jews shouldn't be in the game in the first place, be happy that developers made this happen because of extensive Jewish lobbying from the US and Israel.

Man even getting into a computer game is the result of fiendish Jew conspiracies.

Anyway that thread does make it sound like Israel is a tad broken.

1066 Denmark is fucking awesome.  It's pure chaos.  Your monarch has maybe 15 children all from different mothers, so I conquered all of Pommerania and Prussia and gave it to my sons and later half-brothers.  The Elective law also makes it total chaos.  You have an awkward expansion position but a pretty strong initial point, and that initial claim on the English throne is pretty good too.

Tried playing as 1066 Bohemia.  It's really boring.  HRE possibilities are limited, and it's too easy if you go straight for either one of your weak claims on Hungary or Poland.  Seniority succession is absurdly stupid. 

Eh, if you have a big family and don't mind being assassinated every once in a while Seniority succession works pretty well. It's all about the long game.

Rus -> Russian.

Denmark is my favorite 1066 start.  You just go right after the Baltic.  So long as you do not do something stupid like create another Kingdom title it is loads of fun.

I made Pommerania a Primogeniture kingdom title. I am wondering what will happen if another person gets elected.

[Queequeg]

Also, Valmy, try Rostov or Kiev. Kiev is actually really fun because you can pretty quickly get 4 or 5 kingdom titles.

Trying to play this again now that it has migrated to Steam.

Can someone remind me how to deal with Holder is of wrong Holding Type.

I am playing as Duke of Apulia and just took Amalfi.  The county capital is a city.

I forget what to do here.  Do I give the title to someone else (if so how) or change the capital?

Hand off all the holdings but a barony.  If you give the city away and still hold a barony I think it'll turn into the capital.

Denmark is a fucking monster.  Keep that claim to the English crown alive and wait a few decades for the conquered Baltic provinces to start producing a large amount of troops, and you can land 10k troops at Dover in the middle of one of England's constant civil wars.  It's awesome.
