Today, while trying to go for a Caliphate Strikes Back (plus the achievement for going from Stamford Bridge to the game's end, and however many others I manage along the way) that, when you seclude yourself and capture the woman in the tunnels, it's a very good idea to kill her outright. Imprisoning her led to peasants storming the castle via the tunnels and my Caliph losing a leg.
Ahh but if you win the storming of the castles, you get an across-the-board +10 opinion bonus. One of the things that kept the vassals in line during the reign of the Demon Empress.

I captured a new born baby which I killed at her first birthday. I could just ransom her for 26 gold pieces, but nah, where is fun in that? Next time when I'll capture a baby, I will torture it as a birthday present.

Why do you even hang a baby? It doesn't sount efficent, can't you just break it's neck or something?

Because there's no way to select the type of execution, so random decided to hang it. I'd personally burned it at the stake or crushed the baby to death.

Hopefully non-Christian religions don't get left out here. I want to see the pisstake between the Mu'tazila, Ash'ari, Salafis, Atharis, and other schools of thought within Sunni Islam. It was pretty significant historically, especially during the earlier bookmarks, but IIRC this game hardly pays Islam's internal nuances any attention besides the occasional Shia rebellion.

Does Stan have any good sects? I'm interested by all this secret sects talk.

Accept the teachings of Satan into your heart. Feed the fires of eternity with your soul.
