I find vassals do a pretty good job of converting the religion of their subjects.  More vassals usually helps with establishing religious harmony.

What about kingdom titles?

Meaning: how many do you have?

I think I only OWN two right now, but presumably when I die my non-primary heirs will magic the other 2 in my De Jure into existence.

The Kingdoms In my De Jure are Sveden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. And I am exactly one county away from having all De Jure territory of Scandinavia.

Also, Is it weird that my empire's primary source of income is vassal rebellions? :3

Ah. 'Cause having Kingdom titles pass to all the pretenders... kind of a pain in the ass for a few generations, even moreso if you either lack the diplomacy (or a decent spymaster) to have guys not join factions against you, or the martial ability to field bigger armies. Also, if they rebel, their claims get passed on to their heirs... just extending the annoyance.

This is why, in my most recent game, I have 3 castles in my capital county. Lots of tax and enough levies to deal with most things that happen (albeit only really on the British mainland and Ireland, but whatever ) though god damn are they expensive to raise.

I've never been into assassinating people (and certainly not close family members!) but you could just murder their council every so often, make sure they aren't all that good until after all the reputation penalties pass.

This behaviour is not appropriate for a ruler of the dark ages.

Oh don't get me wrong, wholesale murder is fine, I just prefer to do it on the battlefield than hiring others to do it for me. /awesome comeback

Also, that kinslayer trait! There are like... 500+ living members of my dynasty, many of whom are counts/dukes/kings in my empire. No thanks!

Have to agree with that.  I'm quite fond of sending those who hate me the most, dynasty or no, as commanders of my armies.  Let them die honorably in battle, hopefully soon.

If you can't type a certain letter, you're generally supposed to use the closest approximation of the sound (so Svithjod) not the closest approximation of the appearance.

i don't think there's an indication in-game that thorn is pronounced th?

I find that what he used helps me understand what he's talking about better, as it is closer to what I recognize.
However, it's not like I've ever thought of that region as anything but 'the blue bastards up north with the awkward name' so I suppose anything that starts with an 'S' and sounds like a disease works well enough.

[hector13]

Also I suspect a number of us have NO idea how it's pronounced and only heard of it from CKII

I always thought of it as Svibjod. Otherwise "that good bit in Sweden".

I was unaware that I was required to become a master of several languages to post on the internet.

thorn's actually english

a version of english that hasn't been spoken since approximately this game's time period, but english nonetheless

I imagine that the language has evolved a wee bit since then.

[Putnam]

yeah, memes evolve way faster than genes because humans are fuckloads more efficient than evolution at that kind of thing, so english now is to english then as humans now are to australopithecus afarensis

[SaberToothTiger]

That's racist. _{Ples don kil meh}
