Dead before 18.
Dead of post-childbirth pneumonia at 26 after reigning only 2 years. :weep:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I really like how they managed to integrate in the adventurer mechanic. Cool to see a scion of the extinguished Shahi kingdom coming back to successfully reclaim his ancestral lands.

Hiding out from the new Arabian Shia Caliphate (80.000 troops wouldn't you know), I converted to Shiite from Mazdeism. Married myself to two Byzantine sisters (why Empire is Sunni, I don't know) whom I later caught scissoring. As a result they ran off and committed suicide. Lovely!

Mazdeis-you mean Zoroastrianism?

I'm a lazy typist. -_-

I started a 1066 game as Erik the pagan. It's pretty good, the fun of Vikings without it being a walkover. Erik was able to take sweden but since then fights with the Danes who always bring along the German on stacks, have been a pain. I remain true to the old gods. I will not convert!
It sucks though that rune stones time out and that Sweden is so devoutly catholic and refuses to convert. I don't know much of the period of Scandinavian history but that seems a little unlikely, surely native beliefs should still hold strong?
I have figured that throwing money at Christians so you can take guardianship of their kids  and convert them is the way to sort your rulers out at least.
My vassals always seem to have higher armies and mega successful raids but sieging and looting seems to take longer and longer for me

What's Mazdeism?

I got The Old Gods the other day and have been playing as Ivar the Bonerless.  I conquered Strathclyde and murdered the king and raped the queen and now have a son named Hrothgar by her.  After the war ended I had a blot and killed a bunch of other chicks.  Enjoyable  :)

You can conquer Ireland in a few years hardly breaking a sweat with Ivar.  One of the more enjoyable starts if you just love breaking shit.

I'll try that next, thanks.  In the last war the Irish kept attacking me but I kept swatting them away like the annoying ginger flies that they are.

Sorry, my son is named Hagar, not Hrothgar.  Hrothgar is that place in Skyrim. :blush:

AI still doesn't mind if you marry into the royal family as some nobody count.  Started off as a Count in southern Germany and the King just gave me the dukedom. I married daughter of the King of Italy and am poised to become Prince consort over the country.  I'm also saving up money and piety to seize Verona.
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

I don't get the issue.  When I am a King I give duchies to people and marry some of my nobles.  Granted as a Catholic I am usually looking for alliances with outside powers but still.

I'm now the Duke of two different places and my wife is duchess of two separate duchies.  I made a character based on me, and thus quite pitiful and now he's one of the big movers and shakers of Europe.  Of course politics is quite fluid the Carolingian collapse.  There was an odd situation where my troops and my wifes troops were fighting each other over a third duchy that we both had declared war on.
