Yeah, with the Welsh we can make Welsh spelling jokes for years. I think he should be a seventh son of a seventh son and therefore blessed with The Luck of the Welshish.

Grate King Steppe Wolfe King of Bulgaria

Proud, Brave, Ambitious, Lustful. Other stats as desired (Unless someone in the thread suggests something funny)

Having ceceeded from Bulgaria 20 years ago, Bulgaria now sits nestled between the angry Malgars, and the Decedant Byzantiniuns to the south.

However, this doesn;t matter, as GLORIOUS BULGARIA will overcome, for they are the Greatest people in the world!

(one of the weaknesses of Bulgaria is they are instantly under attack and will be bordering an angry stack of 15000 Hungarian Malygars for the forseeable future.)

I like how goons can't read the OP as well

It's somewhat ironic that an entire thread of people who seem to spend a large part of their time laughing at Grey's inability to navigate (usually fairly complicated) interfaces have failed so completely at correctly interpreting what were really very simple instructions.

Alternatively you could resist the siren call of the joke option and play a Zoroastrian ruler out east and get to make some "marrying your sister" jokes.

Ghana is the only option worth considering.

It's also hard as balls so GH might actually not get World Conquest during CKII.

Sheikh Ali Hammad of Austisland

Trusting, Honest, Kind, Ambitious and Proud.

The second son of a powerful Sunni Emir. His older brother was set to inherit all of their father's lands, but Ali felt he deserved to rule. He went to his father to demand an inheritance, and his father told him that he actually ruled a far off land as well, and Ali could have it! Told nothing but that it was as far north as you could go, Ali set off in a small ship, happy to finally be given his due. His father held no such title, of course, and was glad to be rid of his troublesome and useless youngest son. He expected Ali to die at sea. But luck was on Ali's side...

...and he somehow landed in Sardinia and built a modest pirate empire in the Mediterranean. Let's watch how it happened.

Seriously, I want us playing a naval, piracy power.

EDIT: Can we be a pirate merchant republic?

If we play as the welsh guy we are required by law to use CK2+ because it's compatible with EU4 now, and then we can play as a Brythonic Pagan. We must. It is a requirement.

Bolazhd har'Djiiz, Khazarian Khount.

A man of many names, he was forced to settle down after a mutiny left him with little more than a single warehouse and a handful of mooks to his name. Fortunately, he likes gefilte fish, so he expects to fit right in with his new home.

Traits: Strong, Tall, Lustful, whichever of the martial education traits he can afford without making him older than his mid-twenties.

Religion: Judaism

Culture: Dutch

Stats: 1 in everything except Military, pump the point savings into that. :black101:

I'm not sure if I can make a second submission, but:

Queen Barbie Millicent Roberts, of __(location does not matter)__

The Glamorous Queen, She of Unearthly Beauty and Figure. Her ascendency to the Dream Castle throne caps a long career, one in which she has played many roles in life.

From being a mere consort to physician, explorer, warrior, teacher, to merchant, she has lead a varied life. Her geniality and hosting of grand parties ability has lead to her strong Diplomatic skills; and despite how many other kingdoms surround her mock a land run by a woman, she is a strong warrior woman, leading the charge astride her magic war horse. However, her stewardship is sometimes called into question during her many shopping trips that drain much of the royal treasury. She has a fair bit of learning, though her studies of the mathematical arts was filled with complaints that "it was hard".

With her royal consort, Ken, she is the start of a new era for her kingdom.

In CK2, West Africa's actually a pretty interesting place, especially in the 867 start. And I'd assume going into EU4/Vicky 2 he'd be Westernized/Civilized or otherwise mod the penalties for not being white to be less harsh.
