Ritual cannibalism was a part of some Mesoamerican cultures, including the Aztecs - so we have to assume this guy's considered a crazy people-eater even by their standards!

To his south, across the Black Sea, is Akhutai. His father was Bugunutei, the late emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Bugunutei was Khutula's younger brother, and he was Temulun's son.
So we do not only have a Mongol Basileus, but he's also the son of a Chinese emperor? :psyduck:

To his east, the descendants of nomads have settled down as a royal family. They now speak the language and wear the clothes of the tribes that had first settled there.


To their east are people who venerate the same gods and follow the same rituals as in Tianzhu. They live by a great icy sea and live on sandy land and are called Bomeila.
This world is just wild, y'all!

I'm really sad about this, because there's no loving way this world will have a sensible EU4 conversion so either we lose all of this mad poo poo or Kangxi will be forced to stop.

I swear on my mother's life, the Idrisid cannibal of Essex was already there when I went to take screenshots.

There were also multiple Anglo-Saxon peasant leaders. There's also the lunatic syphilitic Norse queen of Wessex.

NewMars posted:

I increased the health penalty from the plague, but they also had a nasty civil war and the Umayyads and the Norse just carved out a lot of territory from them. The guy who took over their English holdings just fell apart completely.

I have no idea. Her dad was also Hindu but that's all I can find. Before that, the rulers of Pomerania were all Baltic pagans.

This is something I'm more than a little concerned about. Many of the 'big' events in Crusader Kings 2 have already happened - the plague, the Aztecs, and the Mongols have already wreaked havoc before 1100 and I'm not sure what to do ahead of the EU4 conversion. Should I mod in more specialized events? Should I convert early and make a mod that starts in 1250 or so? The conversion will probably take a lot of time. At least I'd like to have more feedback on what else to do. I won't call it a binding vote or anything, but an open forum on what I can do to keep things interesting and have some reader participation.

Custom events + a small time skip to even out the borders towards the end of CK2.

You could mod in a super destructive civil war event chain, and let the peanut gallery vote on how to handle it. Tibet is due a good collapse.

Otherwise I'm fine with ending the LP on ck2.

The biggest problem right now is that Tibet is really kinda... done! We can beat back the Mongols, we can resist China (for that is what we can), we can almost freely devour India at our leisure. Unless we find more goals to entertain ourselves with it's mostly going about our business while the rest of the wheels turn for the world around us.

As much work as it would add to the game, some Custom Events would actually be pretty neat. Say some sort of peace-deal between the Umayyads and the Aztecs to divide Europe between them, a powerful Shia uprising in the middle-east (more comparable to the Mongols than what the game usually provides), the Norse consolidating into a more formidable threat, the Pope abandoning ship (I have no idea how much of a beating the Christians have actually taken). There is much story to be had, but little of it centres around our mountains as far as I can see at first glance.

My usual solution after I reach a critical mass in game is usually either to switch over to a cadet branch of the same dynasty and try to take them to new heights or to take actions likely to fragment the empire.

Obviously, modding gives you more options. The civil war event chain and adding in an invasion (Indonesians annoyed that their trade routes have been disrupted?) seem like good options. Another possibility (and I'm not sure how possible this would be) would be to spawn and control a bunch of Bonnish Tibetan adventurers; have them make their ways to the west; and play as them, seeing if you can eek out survival disconnected from the greater Bonnish Tibetan empire.

I remember there being a mod for EU3 that was basically that - nearly depopulated Europe and African and American (and maybe Asian?) nations got huge bonuses to boost them to Europe standards.

Don't know if it was ever updated to EU4 though.

It's worth pointing out, for those who want us to break up, that failing to conquer China would destroy our imperial level title. So Kangxi could go for the gold (they'd have to legit give it their all though), and if they fail there's your fall from grace/indeterminately long era of brutal revanchism and claimant wars.
