Russian Faces I guess. I thought they applied to more but I guess just Russians and Alans. Who the gently caress is playing Alans?

I played Alans all the time in Ck1 because they were the only playable muslim portrait.

holy gently caress. After 3 truce breaking wars and 30 years of constant war, this is what came out of my byz run



bulgaria was my opm vassal who got all the bulgar lands once otto collapsed, ottos got converted by orthodox zealots, and after bankruptcy I have hella cash. Not the best start but lol

edit: those are ottoman peasants going to loot the lands of the armyless turk

You should make the orthodox ottomans your friend and closest ally.

I played way of life now, and its a lot of fun. I had a 70 year reign of a seduction focus king and I couldnt stop seducing, marrying and making concubines of my nieces. I did that probably about 10 or more times during his life. When he died I decided to try out rulership focus with the next guy, and within a couple months he was ill, depressed, stressed, and dead mostly from rulership events. Is that normal?

Kind of annoying that nieces and sisters are fair game, but not daughters or granddaughters. This guy was really hosed up and already had -10 from everybody for "Incestuous adulterer" so I don't know what would stop him.

I understand that the vikings raided the Byzantine empire like once. That's how the Varangian guard came to be. However, there is absolutely no precedent for vikings going past the bosphorous, into the black sea, into the Danube, all the way up the Danube, and getting off in the loving Alps in order to raid. Not only that it happens once a month or more often. I get punished if I dismiss my levies for even 1 week and I cant commit to any wars outside of my territories ever since I converted. gently caress you the Wiz for ruining one of my favorite games.

my last game was trying to turn Russia Greek as that one Byzantine count on the Crimea in the earliest start date before Charlemagne. It was pretty epic making the Kingdom of Taurica and rebelling from the Emperor + fighting the Russians, until the Golden Horde came and killed me

I did that a long time ago and I was disappointed to find out greek culture cannot make empire of khazaria so you hit a wall.

the Karlings had taken over the Byzantine Empire and made every single other Greek culture ruler except for the dudes under me Catholic so I was too busy fighting that clown car to worry about expanding all over the steppe as Khazaria

Oh man in mine I accidentally inherited Byz, every single Byz kingdom, + Italy due to my extreme power and influence under Byz and I had to give them all away since they werent part of my goal.

that Sweden is disgusting but not as disgusting as a major Karling presence in 1444 AD

It was like 1300 when I called the campaign and that italy was the only Karling kingdom, and it wasnt particularly Karling due to it was previously ruled by Muslim Robin Hood and a member of my dynasty who both hosed up and lost their kingdom.

They took the Levant from the Mamluks, but then it immediately revolted away into Syria. First time I've seen Mamluks become Egypt, too. Epirus revolted out and took all of greece, but they conquered it back, so I slipped in took it myself around 1550. Except for France and a few of Aragon's provinces I gained all these territory by diplo-annexing and four different PUs on Bohemia, Hungary, Poland, and Lithuania over the course of the game.

Man if you're going to conquer that much of Europe at least take the Bosporus.

This is mine so far. I liked Mapuche's ideas better. I prefer Inca's even more but I've played them like 5 times. Anyway, I just migrated a bunch to fill out Exploration, then I got a bloc of about 8 provinces. Spain settled near me and I immediately reformed/westernized. France started to push down the west coast right around the time I started inching up to Inca's natural coastline. France took the north half and I took the south half. I'm trying to cut off Portugal's inland expeditions but it's hard. They're so far ahead in diplotech. The AI in this game was on the Brazillian coast by about 1500 so it's not a very lucky native run. On the bright side, nobody is in California or Asia... So I have a good shot of getting NZ, the Phillipines, and Australia. I went Reformed and have almost no potential friends in Europe but that's fine because I have higher basetax than most of Europe.


Fun Europe fact: Ottomans are slowly eating Ethiopia, which actually colonized the empty spots for once. Nobody has annexed Aragon, but Castile annexed Naples. Bulgaria exists because rebels, and the Netherlands own the entire Dutch/Flemish region except for one or two provinces so they are a European juggernaut compared to how they usually turn out. Georgia united the Caucasus and is independent, somehow, not to mention fought Crimea and won.



Westernized, Hindu Hindustan united the entire subcontinent.

Mapuche has a cool color.

Damnit, I think I made the Mamluks too big to annex by giving them back all their cores from the Ottomans. I was expecting it to take a while but not this long. What are my options, just try and get diplomatic reputation to speed it up?



Also, check out the rest of the map. Some cool stuff you don't see a lot of, like buff Burgundy, huge Scandinavia, buff and separate Lithuania, Portugal tearing up northern Africa, etc.

The Mamelukes have cores all the way up into northern Mesopotamia?
