I suggest seducing your enemies so they like you too much to attack you. It may be wise to start with the pope so he can't call a crusade on you (assuming he can do that.)

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.
And you can regenerate from any disease or injury, and you have free access to Heresy, and you can go around doing the work of your father below.

The antichrist's father mended the schism, the pope is basically powerless now since Rome is in my hands and Catholicism is a heresy of Orthodoxy now.  :D

If I can win my civil wars my plans are to 1) go on a pilgrimage and 2) seduce all the people and repeal a few titles.

EDIT: So... I've lost two counties to de jure wars, lowered crown authority to minimum to end a civil war, am still fighting an independence faction and am now fighting a holy war to protect Antioch.

I can't help but feel that if I had gotten more than a mere 1k event troops the whole antichrist thing wouldn't have gone so disastrously.  :(

Something weird just happened in my newly-started run. Karl (Charlemagne) was killed in battle... by Karl Karling. Clicking the red skull confirms he somehow fought himself in battle. It is also the first time I've ever seen Karloman outlive his brother without player intervention.

Some woman just killed my wife after I executed her husband.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I read this as she killed your wife after you executed your wife's husband. I.E. yourself.

But your bed is also her bed so it's kinda symbolic.

No no no. You want the snakes in your bed. It's symbolic of marriage. Or love. Or pregnancy. Or maybe it's just snakes....

Soooo...if you have the attractive trait and female courtiers, eventually one will get this "He is the one for me" thing which will end up with her having a serious crush on your character and will decide to assassinate your wife in childbirth, to leave you wifeless and childless, and then seduce you with promises of having children.

Also, has anyone done the opposite of the Antichrist deal? Cuz I think I remember if you had more heavenly virtues and the possessed? trait, the one trait that convinces people you're the anti-christ, you instead hear the voice of Jesus or something and become the Anti-Anti-Christ.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

I mean, snakes are a symbol of seduction and penis, not really any of those things. Snakes are ipso facto not symbols of snakes unless we accept an understanding of the universe where things are allowed to be symbols of themselves, but without any demarcation that would mean that everything is a symbol of itself, which would make symbolism tautological. In addition, we can take it as meaning that nothing is really capable of "being", because it can only be a symbol of the being it represents and...and...

So, how about that xwedodah?

The long forgotten annals of Crusader Kings I had a Christ Returned event chain for schizophrenics, but otherwise voice of Jesus and Jesus gives military advice are on their own and have no greater nature like the antichrist chain.
