I think it's a pretty cheaty DLC but I can't imagine playing the game without it any more. I mean, I personally love all the extra fluff and roleplaying stuff but it depends on whether you like that sort of thing. Even ignoring the obvious (but very fun) things like seducing the wives of every king in the world, some of the way of life things are actually quite difficult to complete.

I bought it day 1 at $9. If I'm being honest I'd say it's probably worth about >$5 to the regular player though like I said, I can't imagine playing the game without it any more.

It's like the customization pack DLC. For me, being able to rename everything I want as Penis is worth more than the world.

Sounds good, I'll look up to buying it, then.

I am just sad that there is no succession by choice, as in the ruler points at one of his kiddos and says "Kiddo, after I kick the bucket, you take the lead". It would prolly give strong claims to every child, and make them dislike you.

Buddhist have that

And Republics. That is literally how it works. If you don't choose any, it defaults to Seniority, but otherwise, you pick the heir.

Wtf? The Byzantine emperor just arrested a ton of people, including me, and blinded them all! Even his wife!

[dennislp3]

lol wicked streak?

[Bouchart]

In the land of the blind, the one eyed Basileus is emperor.

Looks like the not me parts of my game have gotten weird. For reference, playing as Lombardia, and I managed to form Italia, but seems the interesting things are happening abroad. Not pictured is that time Lithuania inherited Sweden.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So first up, what is pagan Europe up to?





Oh, serbia... how? Did you do that just to fuck up Galich's name?

Meanwhile, in the middle east...





The Abassids have been expanding and contracting over and over again, while somehow, it looks like there's an Orthodox nation that's using Arabian Nation naming conventions? Let's look at that. Wait, they've got culture tech centuries ahead he rest of the world, outpacing Constantinople? What the chr



.....
Yes, that's someone that spawned with 69 base brains, 72 personal brains, and 101 state brains. Game, please D:

Also not pictured, the last pope that managed to get elected had a seduction focus. His nine year old illegitimate daughter spawned a claim on the papacy, making her the anti-pope. Fuck my life. At least I instituted a hat tax on the papacy.

So in my current game, since I haven't played a while, I started on noobie island at the 7XX start and am about to form the empire of brittania... but I don't know where to go from there. I don't have high enough tech to take over pagan lands due to that infernal supply limit, and somehow the Karlings took over literally everything from spain to the edge of Russia, italy included. They are absolutely massive, and even after assassinating their leader a few times, like 4 different leaders killed with my king that's getting on in years, they are still stable. How do I even start to break them apart? I can't really expand anywhere.

Wow Chaoticag, that looks like an EPIC game.
I also saw a supergenius spawn in one of my recent games. I had roughly the same response as you.
Also, since I'm already talking to you, been meaning to ask if you played Legend of Mana as well, what with your avatar and all

@Mono: You must expand your assassination portfolio. Kill ALL the Karlings.
Make it your entire mission for the rest of the game.

Alternatively, get in good with the leader and educate the heir to everything. Give said heir every horribad trait possible and wait for the succession wars to begin.
Then make a sweep into France while everyone is busy.

Welcome to Karlingland.

There's a reason everyone hates them hahaha.

I did! Loved the pirates. I got it on my vita as well. Need to get back to it, but missing some buttons makes special attacks and magic feel a bit weird. Still doable.

But yeah. Game has been fun so far, and intersting, which is good. It's been my first Ironman in a long time now. Lombardy is silly powerful if you can make the transition, and I've been a hell of an economic power. Especially early on when everyone wanted to institute elective succession, and I just regularly beat their asses, and ransomed them back, and built a castle ad nausem. Now I make 50 gold a month, though county fabrications cost me 500 gold. Aiming for miltech 4 as soon as possible, and I'll be Holy Warring my new empire.

[Mono124]

The Ummayid empire pushed and took 80% of spain and somehow the Lombards ended up breaking away from the Karlings so I might be able to do something...

[SaberToothTiger]

I know. But it's still a pain having to go through electives completely random votes or primogenitures weak imbecile heirs.

[nogoodnames]

I need a quick way to get my character killed without my vassals rebelling, suggestions?

As for why I need her dead: a while ago she started hearing Jesus in her head, and he told her to become a heretic. Now the heresy is spreading through my vassals and I'm afraid it will take root and become a giant pain in the ass. I can't just force her to convert because she is zealous. She's "old" (almost 50, which is older than any previous ruler) but healthy so I don't want to risk just waiting.
