Do you use rulers with local culture or Greekify the whole Empire?

He probably save scummed as well.
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

As the Byzantine Empire? Seems to me like there would be little reason to do so - particularly as you have revocation of ducal titles.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yeah, but it's tim.
Just once early on when my character was incapicated in battle and had no heirs, so it was reload or lose.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

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.

The Levant, Egypt, N. Africa and Andalusia is mostly Greek by now. Since I holy warred to get I only had Greek's to choose from. In the Northern half, there' far less Greeks since I mostly subjagated folks.

That was Romanos Diogenes' opinion in a similar situation.

That strikes me as unlikely, there was no one left at all in your dynasty?

That can happen fairly easily in the early game.  How many other Makedonians are there in 867?  I think it is just Basil I.

There are six.  I start off by creating my own dynasty so I start with one.  In my current game there are over 200 people in my dynasty.

For some reason the heir was not of my dynasty. It may have been one of those inheritance bugs that pop up.

I get to the same problem I'm normally at when I play this game.  I build up such a strong state I get bored.

I always find someway to implode my empire before I get to that point by making a stupid mistake.  I don't have the time to play it enough to ever learn from them so... :P
