[quote=Captain Jordan] Yeah, it's interesting to go from a small Duke, build up your holding and try to vie for the throne, win it with an unsteady peace and spend the next few decades holding on. Then, just when you think your country has entered a golden age, your king character dies, passing the throne to his weakling son, and then you, as the son, get ousted from the throne and demoted down to Count. Back to square -1. [/quote] Yeah, but sometimes it can go in the opposite direction-- there is a lot of chance with CK and the goal isn't to be a super empire or kingdom; just to be the best dynasty you can be. or I don't know roleplay your traits and have a lot of crazy fun
