Something happened to the line of the Patriarchs around 766, when there's no holder at all for the office. Then in 767, there's a new Patriarch, then somehow the Emperor's eldest son (of the Isauros bloodline) was elected to both the Imperial title and that of the Patriarch. I'm guessing that at that point, the Patriarchate became the primary title, and all rulers since have been elected and held both titles simultaneously. Which has actually made the Empire's politics distinctly...well, un-Byzantine. It's been a stable empire, but not an expansionist one, save for some gains in Armenia and northern Persia.

Meanwhile, Portugal became Cathar, which is shaking things up a bit in Iberia. Sweden had one Catholic king 40 or 50 years back, who managed to convert several provinces in the east of Sweden aruond Stockholm. The af Munso's quickly reverted back to their pagan ways, but are suffering from impressive Catholic revolts now.

If I wanted to, I could probably steamroll most of Iberia and then just steadily Holy War my way across Europe for the next three hundred years. I think I may turn off Sunset Invasion, because the Aztecs are going to have a cakewalk considering how fragmented Europe is.

Y'know, last time you posted about the unholy Miroslav going-ons, I said congratulations on breaking the everything.

I stand corrected. NOW you have broken the everything.

There seems to be no limit to your storytelling ability, nor Serb power in the tales you weave. You fucked over an invasion of deliberately OP units, while outnumbered and technologically backwards, and made a fucking epic to be passed down from father to son in Westeros. You won the war the Serb way - the B12 way - by risking it all and not giving two fucks or looking backwards, eyes set on your aim of having as much fun as possible. I swear to God Miroslav, someone better compile this into one album - because this is forum history right here - and send Whispers more mods to roflstomp.

also screenshots pls

Unless it's already planned, Crisis of the Confederarion or After the End as your next mod?

After the End- follows human kinds last attempt to stop the Miroslavs. Nukes. After Miroslaves rebuild, they aim for the stars.

There is a Space CK2 mod.

Yeah, after the end please! Not sure what culture would be best for you though.

How do you assassinate people in CK2? It used to be that you clicked a button and an assassination attempt would be begun but now it seems the only way is via plot.

You can get creative sometimes.

I'm always a fan of the "hey, we need someone to lead a one man army in this plague infested province" approach or the "I'm volunteering you to lead the 115th suicide corps to raid the Holy Roman Empire" strategy. Or you could imprison them, take the small tyranny hit, then sacrifice them to Thor.

There's actually a lot of unorthodox ways to get people killed.

However, if they're not within your realm you're pretty much boned. It's why I think adventurers are really stupid right now as even the event text tells you to assassinate them. Except you can't.

Yeah, as long as they are of the same or closely related religion as you there's not much difference. I frequently assassinate foreigners to get inheritance right. A likeable character can even have a chance of assassinating people beyond the religious borders.
