I use a mod to make the map as ugly as possible in order to make the game playable on my crappy laptop :P.

Trust me, you do not want to see the landscape mapmode.

I'd like to play a turn when the other guys finish, please.

I've updated the OP and also edited my turn write up into my last post.

Well. A bit of a mess?
-snip-
Please put me at the end of the list again (unless it just cycles back to the beginning?). Hopefully the next guy will actually get to do something.

I felt kinda bad when I died so suddenly leaving you with my mess.  I had plans of increasing the stability of the realm after I finished my conquest of Lithuanian lands. I never got that far. ;)

I think we'll just cycle back to the beginning.

I'd like to play a turn when the other guys finish, please.

Added you to the list!

In the future I'll add new players after the last person that played - so no one has to wait longer for their turn. But Fritz expressed interest early on so I just stuck him on the end.

Guess I should have expressed interest sooner then.  Add me to the list.

Your oldest brother, Borkus, didn't even have that trait when he "grew up". He gained it sometime after I gave him a duchy. Spera's teacher didn't have ambitious, he must have picked it up on his own as well.

We just started anyway, I'll put you in for the first round of games.

but from here on out people will be added after the last person that played. For reals. ;)

For all my moaning, I actually thought it was pretty cool. I like to think your King just kept encouraging them more and more to go for power at all times. Childhood in Vilnius was not a nice time.

Kunos probably would have felt that way. Spera was always out leading armies with Palemon and Borkus made a good Steward. Kunos... well... he was pretty useless.  :P

Part II:
I managed to humiliate my rebellious uncle some more:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He didn't like that much:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The less interesting rebels soon gave up too:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Which was pretty awesome, fighting rebels was getting a little tedious... I am the king! I want to fight someone else than my boring uncle ;_;
I did get an heir though :D I named him after my grandfather, who formed the mighty kingdom of Lithuania~
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Poland, which expanded well into Ruthenia, decided to get some land of Jylland. Polish Ruthenia decided it was the opportune moment to rebel, so my strong and scary neighbour suddenly looked a lot less strong and scary. I immediately took advantage of the situation:

Oh snap!:

Got yet another son, at this point I decided to be easy on the next player and got rid of my concubine. Still had a wife for those sweet sweet stewardship skills though:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It didn't help much, as the old wife got another son. Named this one after me, so my three kids are named after the first three kings of Lithuania!

My second son's future career is looking bright now:

I'm still not even thirty years old yet. I might just try and conquer a kingdom for my third son...

ps: how did my sister get a duchy? She could not have inherited it, but you can't give women duchies either....

Won't that form an empire if you have 3 kingdoms ?

She had a claim on it through your mother. King Palemon died fighting to put his beloved granddaughter in power.

And Kunos finished that war. She was my favorite daughter. Anyway, how did Spera die? Our bloodline is terribly weak, it seems, whatwith everyone's just dying anticlimactically out of something mundane in the middle of wars.

Spera died crippled and maimed iirc.

My sister has a son though, and I have three, so the bloodline should do fine for now. My other sister's matri-married husband got the Duchy of Prussia, so our dynasty should expand there as well :D

Oh screw you. I get to play for six years, you for countless decades. There is no justice in the world.
