What mod is that anyway?
Warhammer: Geheimnisnacht. It's pretty close to being finished, lacks Ogres and Skaven at the moment.
Reign of tyranny?
I got way too many vassals for that.

Imprison and execute the Slaaneshi infidels?

There are literally hundreds of known plots firing all the time because these are Dark Elves, but the Queen-Mother is the real problem. She's the top of the pyramid for them and will probably quickly convert any of her vassals I can replace. It should be noted that the Atharti aren't infidels, she's an elven goddess of pleasure and considered an accepted subset of my religion. It's just that this elven pleasure goddess is totally Slaanesh, 99%, no question. Every single member of this cult has got all sorts of fucked up traits. What event causes them all to gain facial disfiguration despite not being involved in war is something I'll be happier not knowing.

Provoke them into uprising?
Possibly. I have a 1% chance of being able to imprison the Queen-Mother, and revoking her kingdom is a "Maybe".

Well, that settles it. I've been thinking of downloading the WHF mod for some time. Now I just have to.

That mod looks fun.  Figures the lizardman lands would be tough to subjugate.  Dinosaur revolts, heh.  That deadly jungle malus sounds awful IC, a neat idea OOC.

The dorfs are kind of bullshit though, the special holdings have astronomical fort level bonuses that will result in multi-year sieges to take them down while simultaneously turning any assault into a bloodbath.

There are also Chaos Dwarfs.

Interestingly, the goblin menace in my game is actually extending beyond Nobdy. Back in the old world the largest greenskin empire is held by goblins, who are proving more stable than orcs.

Isn't that pretty close to lore?

So you get them by crushing their armies until you capture their Kings?

Position troops on every part of her kingdom, if possible. Then go for the revoke.

Maybes for me are usually a yes though.

More or less. Greatest Waagh ever couldn't be asked to wait out a Dwarven siege. Skaven seem to do pretty well taking Dorf Fortresses, though I suppose that's because they're sneaky rats and just attack from underground.

I've been playing an England game, and doing the usual, converting heathens, the like, when suddenly, a wild slavic Poland appears.


Poland is invading the wild clusterfuck that is the HRE. The King of Poland has a claim for the HRE for some wild reason.

Spoiler: Picture 1 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Picture 2 (click to show/hide)


Other weird things:
HRE consists of Bavaria and a few French and German counties, though de jure it is Burgundy, Italy, West/East Francia, Lotharingia and Aquitaine.
The Carpathian Empire has been founded by Bolghars.
The Queen of England banged two popes, one antipope, around seven kings, two emperors and then got the title "Holy". Maybe they meant "Who(l/r)y".

With an army that large, would anyone care if a few men at arms got cannibalized?
