So I've gotten the Demon Child event in the first lifetime of my new game, starting as the Byzantine Empire at the Old Gods start date.

Despite killing five siblings during her childhood the demon child did not kill me or the son of the heir to the throne (though he later died of syphilis), I am now 80, still winning holy wars against the Sunnis around Jerusalem, she is 38, married matrilinealy to the prince of France with two kids and hasn't done anything demony since she turned 16. She is next in line to the throne at the moment.

I fear my demon child may die before I do myself at this rate, I bumped my health up very high in ruler creator before starting with the aim of getting a good start of the empire of Rome for my heirs to use as a springboard, but now I can't seem to die and let the demon daughter take power.

I really, really want to Mend the Great Schism as her though, it'll be hilarious to restore the Pentarchy as the antichrist.

It's not all good though. Everyone hates you including all your vassals so it's hard to get large vassal armies or control them.

I thought it was very fun to play as though. There are some very amusing events.

I am now 86, still kicking. Have conquered all five seats of the Pentarchy, though I cannot mend the schism for some reason. I don't think the pop up message for Rome has appeared yet, which is probably the reason since I have more than enough piety and religous authority is 100%.

If I can I'll mend the schism before I die and the demon daughter takes over, send this guy out as the greatest emperor who has ever lived in the history of the Empire, who was succeeded by the antichrist. :P

EDIT: Figured out why I couldn't mend the schism, one of Rome's baronies was under the control of the King of Italy. Snatched it from him and mended the schism. Now to play out my last few years adding to the Empire before I pass the crown to the antichrist.

Shame you aren't Catholic, pilgrimage to Rome as the antichrist is amazing.

Probably, there have been some other surprises in the Americas. One of the first great Miroslav-American wars was the war between the Merchant Republics of the Mayan Civilization and the West Indies Britislavs.

The Aztecs somehow formed a cute trade republic out of Dublin.  It even lasted a decade or so before Britain finished them off.  The notification of the invasion being repulsed came *before* the trade republic was conquered, interestingly.  I guess because the Aztec Empire was gone.

Also I finally loaded up after the patch and my Roman Empire is... fine...
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485752717

My prestige is negative and my prestige gain is "+-", but time to see if I can finish SPQR.  Basically everything is like my tech is infinite.  A friend was playing non-ironman islam and his save didn't experience this.

Ironically while away I was thinking about finding a mod to remove retinue limits.  Ideally while increasing costs.  It's frustrating having all the moneys with nothing much to spend them on (particularly in Abyssinia, for example, right next to Abbasids.)
Also I love the new information screen in the top left.  I don't remember if I was able to assign women commanders before, now I can because I'm Cathar.  I don't have the DLC but I love these interface improvements!  Like the govt type screen.

Next run probably won't be ironman, and might be as Gotland...  Remaining loyal to the king of Sweden.  I wonder if I can get him to form Scandinavia by conquering it for him.

Increase the value given by training grounds to a very high number, so much so that you'll go bankrupt before you reach retinue limit.

At long last, my emperor has passed away of a natural death at age 91, still looking as hale and hearty as he did when he was 50, still practicing his swordsmanship, still leading his armies, still enjoying the odd romp with the maids, still howling at the moon and seeing giant gophers.

He reunited the Orthodox and Catholic churches, brought fire and sword to the heathens, expanded the borders of a waning empire and brought the light of christ and the culture of Greece to thousands.

His land is now in the hands of his daughter, who was born under ill omens, who's childhood was fraught with misfortune, who has miraculously survived pestilence and plague, and who is despised by the clergy of the Pentarchy.

What awaits none can truly foresee. But I see Rome on the horizon, the Empire of Rome, lit by hellfire and led by demons.

I can't wait.  :D

Don't get your hopes up. There are some very amusing events that happen but most of them take place as a kid.

It's mostly the same as any other ruler except everyone hates you, you have great stats, and three superwomen.

EVERYTHING HER FATHER BUILT IS BEING DESTROYED!

THE WITCHES DO NOOOOOTHING!

As may be self evident, things are not going well right now.
