 Bonus Update: What if? (Chapter 4) The most important crown is mine.  Oh, why not.  For gently caress's sake.  Well, that was a fun five years. A bunch of vassals are still independent because I'm losing the will to hunt down every little duke that breaks away.  Russia is largely controlled by a few princes with huge domains but tiny demesnes. I send up the Venice doomstack and vassalize them before they even have time to gather their armies.    This gives me control over most of Russia and the king titles Finland, Rus, Kharzaria and Crimea. Good times.  The vassals that broke away are starting to come back of their own volition. Can't say I mind.  I spend a decade consoldating my holdings in Greece, Africa and Russia, vassalizing christians and conquering muslims.     By 1195, almost everything outside the middle east is in my hands. The Seljuks control a huge chunk of the middle east and look to be the only thing resembling a challenge left on the board.   At this point I COULD start conquering the remaining muslims and continuing to abuse breakaway vassals for badboy reduction, spending half a century carefully balancing my badboy... ... or I could just do this.  Crusadin'.   Apparently when you get beyond a certain size, your vassals just can't stop fighting each other because all my Russian vassals are at war with each other and a war between Bergslagen and Orleans turned into a giant inter-empire conflict encompassing most of Spain and France. I stay out of it, because siding with either vassal (and thus declaring war on one of my own vassals) would result in a massive relation drop with all my vassals.  I have a good feeling about this particular crown.  It takes me another decade to absorb most of the smaller Muslim countries, giving me lots of territories and troops with which to attack the Seljuks.  Endgame time.  The war takes four years, but ultimately there's not much the Seljuks can do as I keep stealing their vassals and sending in troops from Russia, Egypt and Greece. By 1209 all that's left is the mop-up.  While I am conquering the last remaining muslim independents, I also take the time to revassalize the guys that broke away during the wars. While I am doing so, several of my new muslim vassals break away, but eventually I get everyone under my control (for the moment).  No Popes no masters.  Me, 1210, 144 years into the game.       I have so many vassals, the game can't display them.  That's pretty much it, hope you had fun! I do not see any need to continue this to EU3 and I feel I have demonstrated exactly what an LP where I do not hold back would look like: It would be over in less than 150 years. Now you can return to reading Azerbaijan with a newfound appreciation for my self-restraint and modding. Wiz fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Nov 14, 2011 |

Looks like they must have broken away while I was re-vassalizing the muslims, I'm shedding a few vassals a month just from being this size. I actually got hit with a civil war too right as I was taking the last screenshots (notice the prestige plummet). Oh well, the world sans Mann and Öland is good enough.

You should keep that save for after you're done with Azerbaijan, if for no other reason than that you could switch to Semi-Salic Gavelkind and watch a single dynasty fragment Europe between itself.

Hey Wiz, could you post the religion map of the Great Roman Empire of Faereyar? Also curious as to how many province cultural change events you got, as after conquering so many provinces at least a few of them have to be Norwegian/Gaelicz now.

I only had a really small demesne because I was giving away provinces to reduce BB as fast as possible. In the end I had Faroe Islands, Venezia, Paris, Constatinople and a few provinces in Persia.

A man can rule the world, and yet his wife will still be his rival. Power, wealth, prestige, he stands alone above the world and hated by the one he chose to stand by his side as equal. This was your deepest and saddest LP Wiz, I'm literaly in tears. The Tragedy of House Sudrey shall resonate for ages. One Hundred Forty Four Years of Conquests, One Hundred Forty Four Years of Solitude.

I actually think it'd be amazing to set inheritance law to... whatever it is that Azerbaijan was using, and after the king dies, just let the AI take full control until the end of CK. But really, Wiz spoils us enough as is.
