The formatting kind of got lost in transition. You may want to edit that.

Otherwise, added you to the accepted list and map.

EDIT: Just read your post. I've like all the posts so far, but that was good. Didn't expect you to resolve The Incident like that, or characterize your children as you did. Qyptos seems like a Bad Motherfucker™. I want to see what he does to his treacherous vassals. . .



DOUBLE EDIT: I know it's not Saturday yet, but I'm going to go on a limb here and say that those who've who went missing two weeks ago aren't coming back, so given this is one of my rare off days, I'm going to get to work on resolving the round's events.

I will, of course, wait for So Boerd.

Until tomorrow.

Nah, I just need to do something vikingy, like eat a moose or swing an axe around. I have been out of the Vasa mindset for too long.

The correct term would be 'meese,' since you're of course referring to eating a plural amount of them.

Just trying to help.

Or....tomorrow! For sure. (Writer's block is a cruel mistress)

So are the Bogans.

I am in a good writing flow today, so expect a post today.

Yaaaayyyyyyyy! Vikings!



Even their mushy songs are manly. <3

EDIT: Also, remember time is now only going at half a season every round.

The next game round begins this Saturday, so all who haven't posted yet are getting their lands torn to shreds by their vassals. Sadko is now our newest king [hold your daggers and crossbows until he makes his first post].

Expect a new rules update concerning time, towns, and diplomacy tomorrow.

That be all. Thankies.

I haven't availed myself of the save converter all that much, as it's too easy to create a megastate that can't be challenged since AE and Overex don't exist in CK2. That, and what always happens is that Spain gets balkanized by gavelkind, Portugal never forms, and France gets gobbled by HRE, so when the game is converted there is only one colonial power, England.It boggles my mind that 11th century Byzantium is better able to incorporate an Indian conquest than 19th century Britain.

Easy to create a megastate? Maybe if you play on pussy-mode [being a king on less than very hard difficulty].

And most of those things are untrue in my game. Portugal existed briefly, but was wiped out by the Knights of Santiago. They inherited most of Spain in the First crusade, called because 98% percent of Spain was held by the Ummayads. After the crusade, the Ummayads were completely annihilated, and save for a few other one or two-province kingdoms, the peninsula was held by myself [owning fealty to the duke that owned 5 provinces and Flanders], and the Knights of Santiago.

In EU4, they've quickly become a regional power, but have existed in more-or-less a constant state of war, initially as Italy's ally, then as her most bitter enemy, fighting for control of northern Africa and southern France.

England never formed, because I was Scotland, and wiped the floor with the petty kingdoms of England. The HRE never gobbled France, because Italy held Aquitaine, while I held the actual Kingdom of France, a title I destroyed. The HRE floundered against the Golden Horde and Timurids. And Vestlandet is well on its way to owning the Carribean.

And the Byzantines don't even have the conveniences of telephones or toilet paper to offer them.

A toasty poast, Nex.

Weddings bring out the worst in everyone, don't they? <3

At least it's not as bad as my game where England has a union with Castile and rules 80% of the colonies in the world.

In my game, the Golden Horde and Timurids are Westernized. Italy owns all of southern France and Ireland. The Byzantines still exist, but are getting their ass handed to them by the Timurids. It's the late 16th century, and the only nation to colonize so far is Vestlandet, the 1-province kingdom.

This game started in 867 in CKII. God only knows what it will be like come 1821.

Oh man... Playing as one of the Spanish nations. Murder every other Spanish man until you receive inheritance of all of the Kingdoms. Then... Jihad.

The Crusades would always be the biggest wars, but you'd have Holy Wars going on in the Iberian Peninsula on the reg involving 40K+ men on both sides, even in the early centuries.

And are all the spainards related or something? Played a Spanish nation once, but created my own ruler.

I don't know why, but I don't get along with the Muslims in CK2.

Nobody does. Not even other Muslims.

This is funnier because I recently invaded Ethiopia as the Muslims. But my greatest atrocity would probably be the time I blinded, then castrated, THEN killed my brother as the Byzantine Emperor.

I can imagine how that would go down. . .

"For perhaps attempting to think of a plot against my reign, I'm afraid it is my duty to do everything in my power to make your life a living nightmare for the next 24 hours. May God have mercy on you."

Myself, played as the Queen of Scotland. Killed all my sons but my youngest, so he would inherit, then killed everyone who would inherit the county of Trondelag until it went to me, which was about 12 people.Two more needed to die until I inherited, but I didn't need to kill them , because they died of pneumonia and old age, respectively.

Good to have that cleared up. I figured that the travel times needed to send a message back and forth could easily be completed in a season, but it might not be clear in every situation. On the seasonal posts, how do we handle events that require players to take actions and then react to each other's actions in a short span of time. For example, marching orders. Suppose two armies are maneuvering around each other in a game of cat and mouse (Not that I ever employ such dishonorable tactics... *cough*). If both armies have good scouts they could react to enemy movements in a few days time. Not mention the possibility of a truce to negotiate or a battle occurring before the season ended.

It's tricky stuff, but in situations where every unit of time matters, I think taking it to PMs in the form of a battle would be wisest move, even if no combat ends up occurring.
