As to Mr. Morgenstern's vote, I'll say Iberia. Better to secure a staging ground for the eventual Israeli reclamation than to jump the gun and be the target of a Crusade.

New update!

Chapter Twenty One: Moors and Merchants



Alright, this will be in the far future, but once I feel the thread is self-sustaining I hope to start a Paradox Mega Campaign as the Satrap of Kabulistan, 867. Instead of the Shahis, we're going to have the Nagar dynasty, and attempt to survive against the Saffarids, Seljuks, Ghaznavids, Mongols, and Timurids. I hope that an Afghan Hindu campaign would serve as a nice change of pace from the more European centered runs. I'm also thinking about adding a history section either at the end of each update or every few update to explain historical dynasties, concepts, and events. This would also include talk about the Dharmic religions, pre-Islamic Afghanistan and why the Nazis were obsessed with the Indian Aryans.

Does that sound interesting to you guys?

A big +1 from me, is that a character creator character or some awesomely-statted historical figure who you transferred the title to? (I don't have RoI which is kind of shameful considering I am really into Indian history but know very little about the pre-Timurid / Mughal period)

Mr.Morgenstern

Character creator + console. Since we are directly in F***-Zone Alley, I figured we'd need a strong leader to guide us through. If I get this LP up and running he won't be exactly the same, but he'll still have good stats.

Let me introduce you to this guy:



In my current Norse game, this guy came to power, ruled for 45 years and single-handedly converted the entire Ummayad Empire to Catholicism, one hundred years later they are still catholic and the largest defender of the faith against my encroaching pagan armies.
I have no idea how he was converted, but my guess is that he was captured as a child and was converted while in the dungeons, as I know of no other way this could have happened.

Haha, those Karaite revolts had me scratching my head for a while, because I was wondering why on earth you had Ibadi heretics in Ireland until I was like; "Whoops, it's the Jewish heresy".

Also, GF is visiting from abroad (Unexpected but wonderful!), so I've been removed from my normal computer. Her laptop has a copy of CK2 but it runs a bit slowly and I'm not sure when I'll have the time when she's here, but I'll start with the into at least. I'll start with just showing off the normal situation then explain why I say gently caress that and do a ruler designed character instead.

Was this a CM game or a Viking age one? In CM most of the lands are Catholic still; it's actually way easier to rule them as a Catholic than a muslim.

It's funny though, that Zuni reform benefits them least of Pagans, because of them already being feudal and having access to ultimo from the start. Holy Wars and actual conversion chances (and the Sunbros of course) in exchange for losing the Subjugation CB, which can grab you vast swathes of land. Still helps them a bunch.

Just wish there was an easier way to boost up MA than repeatedly doing the "Paragon of Virtue" ambition for leaderless religions.

I'm sorry guys, I can't continue this right now. I love doing LPs, but I'd like to work on the Afghan LP. This LP is already as long as two of my other ones. And we're only half way through the game.

With that said, would anyone else like to take up the cause of Ireland and the Isles and restore the Holy Land? I'd really appreciate it.

But it's nice seeing somebody play an LP in this region. As for your Jewish merchant republic, you've already reached the point where you are invincible. Just leave the file up for the chance that somebody else might want to finish it (conquering Israel is the only thing that remains anyway), and don't feel bad for concentrating on your Afghanistan LP.
