Yeah, this is an awesome session. But damn it was hard to get on the throne! We ganged up on Lower Lorraine too, little Holland and Luxembourg brought Lorraine to its knees. Loved it.

Nobody can force me to my knees, I tell you!

Anti, you and I need to plan a game. Two byzantine douxes (not douches!), and we will see who gets to be the Roman Emperor. Alternatively, I start as Nubia and persuade you and your pathetic empire that Christ indeed has one nature. Or else...!

I really need to start playing again. And reg my coppy o I can get at the sweet mods.

Working on getting mine back for just one glorious game where the house of wessex beats the Norse Sea thieves, the Norman foreigner and then launch a war against the true enemy, the damned Dutch!

You'll find that Anti and I will stop you.

Then I will use you as a wesSEX slave.

he-he.

You'll find that Anti and I will stop you.

We? It seems that you haven't caught on to the fact that all I care for is power yet and my loyalty is therefore suspect. I thought it'd be obvious after my killing spree in the empire and spending hundreds of gold coins just so I can become kaiser...

And Exaythe, maybe, I'm not getting any mods though. Quite liking the game as is and I don't think it'll be good for my version thingy.

But... But...

But... :'(

Saxons dont use lube on their victims Dref.

I refuse to play without mods, though. After having played with mods, Vanilla is just so god-damned BROKEN.

Maybe I'll have to "accidently" let myself get captured by the Saxons then.

I kinda feel like playing a game as some Celt.

.... but I have an exam tomorrow. QQ.

I would sooner stick it in an electric socket than a celt.

The song my current Duke sings to his son.

The song your son will soon enough be singing back at you, Dref!

My current Duke, son of my last Duke, did call his father, my Duke at the time, to get in power.

(in other words: I'd be super proud. I might even have to pinky away a tear.)

Be ware Anti, this is your vassal.

Be ware Anti, this is your vassal.

I think I should strip this particular vassal of all his lands.

So, me and Dre played again today. The my imperial dynasty headed into its second generation. I've had to wage quite a few wars and slowly but surely consolidated myself in Italy. Then came a massive civil war which lasted 10 years or so for independence by a couple of vassals. Together I and Dre managed to squash the rebels. Dre gained the Duchy of Brabant as a result of the civil war while I consolidated my regime in Italy and started redistributing titles. I became a tyrant with a -270 relationship bonus.. So yeah..

Lost the imperial crown, but not before I allowed a couple of vassals to become independent. I'm now king of Italy while Dre controls the duchies of Gelre, Holland, and Brabant. I think he only lacks Flanders in order to establish the kingdom of Frysia.

Bohemia was one of the vassals who became independent in the last days of my reign as emperor. It quickly swallowed all of Poland and is now quite powerful. France has become a western Somalia having been locked in (near) continuous civil war for the better part of the last 20 years. It also controls a part of Iberia. The Byzantines are quite powerful in the Balkans and rule most of Anatolia. They also have some holdings in southern Italy and a vassal of theirs whom rebelled controls a bit of southern Italy too, he also controls parts of Greece and modern Tunesia.

Did I miss anything Dre?

Sums it up nicely! I'll put a print-screen up when I get one.

Flanders is part of the King of England's personal demesne. A previous king, Robert the Dragon, made English probably the biggest powerhouse in Western Europe. Especially now that Anti and me crippled the Holy Roman Empire. At any rate! He controls the coast of France, bar from Brittany. I don't have the power to take Flanders from him. Strong European rulers seem to emerge in Iberia, which is good, down with the muslim heretics!

My first born son was called Heinrich, but changed his name to Hendrik when he changed to Dutch culture. Never knew that was part of the game, but I think it's pretty neat (although I only saw it after I had named my second born son Hendrik, so now they share names). Despite being "neat" he's a useless son, his younger brothers are born with more graces of God, so I am setting on of them up to be my successor. The first Hendrik will likely die.

Someone should try to reunite France.

I'll breed a son just for that. I'll call him Gaius Julius.

My Nubian Empire took over Byzantium. After bloody civil wars I managed to confiscate all land in the empire, take it away from Greeks and give it to Nubians. The course is set for the restoration of the Roman Empire, with capital in Alexandria, Miaphysite Faith and a Nubian Emperor!

HERESY.

Trying to learn.
I've got two games running one. One more pieceful game set in Byznansium.
And one far more agressive. Where my goal will ge uniting spain. I've gotten Castille to be quite powerful through some. Let's call it headbutting.

Cruor pulchrus est.

Yay for everyone playing CK2 \o/

I've tried starting as a minor Tuscan count. God, I'm mired in so much intrigue and scheming to expand. I got the Duscan Duchy from the Keizer, then I lost it to his son who hated me (...we didn't get along on his father's party).

Playing as the Duke of Brittany. Seems my wife or me is rather infertile as we've only conceived three children... and my only son is a hunchback QQ
