What happened Captain Andy? :)
It's probably the Romans or another major power who wiped a main army and initiated a decline...

If this isn't CK2+ or it's possible to use CK2 Vanilla (with the regular patches) after a + game (as my installation has steadily resisted all attempts to use the + patch), if not I'll gladly wait to EU4 if we simply use the mod converter.

Her husband doesn't have to have positive modifiers. Her -70% fertility does put them at 30% before any modifiers on her husband's part, but it's still quite doable to have a single heir where someone else would have 3-4.

Khan Yerlesnu/CapnAndy: Might want to hit easier (non-Catholic) targets on the steppe whenever we have a truce with the Rhomaoi. If we can take up all non-Catholic land in Eastern Europe over the next few generations then we can handle the Byzantines. I know some gamey strategies myself, but if I don't use them I end up trading land and retreating from the Romans until they have a big civil war.

You might want to check how much gold the adventurers have. Sometimes it's better to just defeat them in battle and take their lunch money despite the large number of troops they might bring.
PS. I suggest expanding elsewhere while the truce is on. The attrition isn't as bad as it seems. Also, it might be an idea to declare war on the Byzantines when the truce ends, even if you think you'll lose. That way at least they can only win money.

You don't seem to need the following tyrant advice, but: You might want to have a look at all your sub-county vassals. Some of them have large amounts of money on them, not the vast sums that appear yet when there's no more buildings for them to build for like a century, but probably a few above a thousand gold (though arresting and banishing one makes you incredibly unpopular and might cost more than it's worth in the long run, doing it to two pretty much demands you do it to the whole country (and you'll need enough piety) which opens the option of hiring new people and giving them all the land, running it yourself (though that's insanely expensive) or handing it over when you die so your successor becomes incredibly popular from handing it out, it's cheesy as gently caress I know (unless you make up for it by assassinating a random stranger dynasty or something like that, but it can be fun).

It usually doesn't take that long. If there's a major civil war we should probably make our move to grab a few duchies.
Hopefully before that happens we can ride into Scandinavia and mainland Europe until we border the North Sea, the English Channel, Gibraltar, Morocco and beyond, India; to finish the work of the Hordes and unite the tribes!

So the law to force us to give away some of the king titles might help with this, but we're nearing the point of blob-heaven, which can make the ga me less interesting to play and watch for everyone involved.

Expanding into the better holdings of the Middle East will strengthen us more than occupying useless tundra holdings, and it brings us closer to reclaiming Israel.

Lithuania, half of Sweden and Finland might not be the best area ever, but they're hardly useless, though the actual Tundra is pretty darn close. But the important thing is they're so easy to conquer we could be doing it simultaneously, while rebuilding our vassals. The cost is miniscule even compared to the weak defense the Suomenuskos and Norse Swedes will put up.
Catholicism has already claimed Norway, Denmark and half of Sweden. It's going to be far more difficult to go there later.

I think we can go for it now though, with all these rules and succession it'll be a lot harder, and hilarity might result from a weak player taking over a massive Empire in CK2 and Victoria, perhaps even Europa.

CapnAndy posted:

You're entirely on-point. Massive swaths of modern Judaism started as "well, we're commanded to do this, but we need the Temple for that, so... what now?" There are sects of Jews who believe that if the Temple were rebuilt today we'd go right back to sacrificing animals tomorrow -- some of them are even trying to breed animals suitable for sacrifice (to show God they're ready and willing to resume their duties just as soon as He's ready and willing to give us back the Temple), and other sects who view ritual sacrifice as something better left in the past and would stick with their substitutes even if they had the option. I'm the latter, myself, but I'd honestly be sorta interested to see a poll on the issue; I have no idea how it'd shake out.

A rabbinic/temple schism would actually make a pretty cool mod.

Couldn't you just rebuild the Temple? Is a sign required?
*Googles* OK, a Messiah or Divine Providence is required to do it. Also, many believe the Temple is situated where the Dome of the Rock is, though some scholars believe it was between where the Dome of the Rock is and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

So, to be IC we might need a Messianic figure to lead this reconstruction, though with it having been just 11-12 centuries by the time we seize Jerusalem, that might not be as necessary? Even if it's a minority who desires it, it'd certainly be harder to prevent the populace and local nobility from trying to do so on their own initiative than in modern times.

I am Basileus Pelagios of Israel, of House Bulanid.
I have ascended. Israel is the greatest Empire in all the world, the Third Temple shall last forever, and Israel will no doubt grow even more prosperous during my reign. I have been blessed by the Lord, my cup runs over with land and children, even the mighty cedar tables of our dining halls groan under the weight of our feasts. As is my duty I shall in return defend Israel.



First I shall make my goodwill known to those lesser ones in my flock...



One of the Royal Blood must be on the Council...



2 months Later...

I keep giving money and titles but there's too many of these shits! My demesne is suffering, but more importantly at this rate I'll never be able to remove homosex and bastards, conquer a holy site and buy horses and everything else I need to go to Paradise! And even if I stabilize this country the people will hate me once I jail several innocents and have them banished or executed...

Then I shall have my peace and uphold the eternal laws of the Jews.
Zion shall be unified, but according to law... meaning the flow of time shall be uninterrupted as I act naturally, a province shall be named after my ancestors before my death, the Duchy of Crimea shall remain a merchant republic, I must do my utmost to hurt the Byzantine Empire, Hungary and the Seljuks, I will seize a holy site, Cumania must not be allowed to resurrect, I shall have a family member on the Council, the Frontier Khaganates will be given to my son, all conquests must connect to Jerusalem by land, I will love horses, I shall never release or ransom prisoners (as if!) and I will kill or imprison all those born out of wedlock and every homosexual!

All right, let's just keep those in mind and wipe out these undeserving lordlings to give these laws some elbow room...





A good start. These four inferior rulers are quickly banished... the Taurican had 2.7k gold otherwise little of note... and I move on to the next set...:



How fortunate. God must truly love me (2 escapees would be about average). Israel's turmoil shall soon pass. Neither do the Despots of Cumania or Volga Bulgaria escape my marshals. Despot Yencepi II of Volga Bulgaria posed some difficulty (his imprisonment chance was actually in the sixties).

Alas! One vermin escapes:


But before this war continues I must finish off the Dukes, else they shall surely seek to destroy this great nation.

Ooooh, why did I grant my son a barony? Oh right, I didn't know I was going to do all of this. Now he hates my guts, otherwise I could've given him half the Empire and had him on my council... Oh wait, I can just give him everything anyway and he'll still love me!



Son?

... we're almost there son! You shall see all of Zion unfurled beneath our family's direct ownership (though I'm sure you'll enfeoff away half of it in an instant... perhaps I should wait), but for these splotches on the map (currently at 24k gold, expecting to get to like 3-4 hundred once the richest barons, mayors and heathen temples are identified):


I used to admire the Kohen Gadol... you shall be replaced once I have finished cleansing Israel.


*whew*
All right. As Bulanid, taking out another 70 counts seems like too much work really (probably 15 will escape) on top of whichever minor land holders are holding out on the Lord's coffers... but I will do what I must, so that in the future I will be safe from this instability... and it is after all, the only way to remove all homosexuals and bastards and keep the country stable, and I will not endanger my place in Paradise and the Tombs of the Kings!

Oh, and Volga converted (or a province with a similar name)!

The Rhomaoi try to snatch Menumarot from us during its rebellion. We promptly defeat the Duke's field armies and he is forced to express his regrets the next week when he is promptly ambushed in my throne room. But the old man is wary and sprightly for his age, evading my strategos and diving out the window. War is declared again with Byzantium out of the picture.



The country is in chaos as the men loyal to me destroy the armies of the wicked, chasing them back to their castles where they will do anything to accept white peace, even though it certainly means facing my agents again. Some of them escape again, thus forcing sieges as there are no more armies to destroy to demoralize the enemy.

Amidst the flurry of orders I remember to give my youngest son his land... but then he suddenly hates me! "Daddy, you haff too many castles!" I'll find him a comfortable cell.



Triple Khagan heir (Turkestan, Incest and Cumania)! Thankfully he's none too bright, I give him the land he lusts for. The agents of the Lord quickly seek him out. They do not fail.



Hmm... maybe I should've just revoked the titles. I didn't pay much attention to those remedial inheritance law classes my guardian insisted I take as a young lad.

The latest law requires I jail several people illegally and banish or execute them which would put me at about -200 (edit: -400) with everyone. The only way to survive is to get the job done and then either shuffle provinces back into others' hands or keep them myself.
Otoh the country is extremely stable now, factional intrigue is dead, which means I can maintain my sanity long-term.

---

I will never be completely free, will I?



Then no one else will get to be happy.



Finally, I shall be rid of these pests.



Peace! And Ungra is now part of our inheritance. Though I became lazy and only taxed one fourth of the country there is money for a lifetime (84.4k), my two sons, the frontier Khagans are in jail and there are but 50-80 counts and several times over the minor nobility who may attempt to murder me if I do not replace them... but I cannot be bothered. What next?



I shall fill the empty wastes with life. But what then? Endless war? Assassinations till I rest in the grave from retaliations? Tempting, but there are no good targets.
I am content, and yet I am a warrior. Chud has fallen, the war I inherited from my father. Should I not bring our borders to the North Sea?

No, I forget. There are still laws to be fulfilled. Hungary must die. Byzantium must die. A Holy site must be captured, cavalry must be raised, a province must be renamed.

But the closest goals at hand first, the bastards and homosexuals will be eradicated from our lineage.



No one is spared.



A little girl is next, and then a woman escapes as I neglect to send my Strategos. She is hunted down.



More fodder for the abbatoir.



Foo... ok, they're all dead. What was next on the list? Name a province, ok.
Thrake has been renamed Meletios Park.

OK...

Looks like Menassah is Crimea... honoring your ancestors came as a law before the Republican Crimea requirement, so no need to make it match names for a higher degree of correctness.

Must still destroy Byzantine Empire, Hungary, buy cavalry units, build horse-related facilities, take Holy Site (must be highest priority...). Oh, and the council member has to be a CLOSE relative.



Well, that's not too bad... I should probably hire a bunch of strangers, pick out the likeminded and have them take over the rest of those jobs before I get murdered though.



These levites the Temple sent me aren't exactly the brightest for running my palace, but at least they like me after finding their rooms full of gifts and given honorary responsibilities.

Here's a family list, I believe it will be more informative than a tree at this stage (it'd take an enormous amount of time to identify the ones slain after the fact):

Already, the lawbreakers have reemerged in the Bulanid dynasty.
Our merry family (and oopsie: this is realm only, so the vassal Khaganate members are not shown (probably not that many, but should be several)):







(How did I miss 4 people at that age...? No they must have been native to my son's domains, or have developed them later.
Seems I also missed at least 1 legitimized bastard too though.)

Religions







I'm afraid holding half the holdings for yourself is terrible for conversion and infrastructure development. On the bright side, half the empty holding slots have been constructed, and another 15k or so should finish the remainder. (There are a bunch of rich minors in the Menessah peninsula if needed.)

For some reason Ioannikos, the youngest son, became the new Basileus (oh right, ultimogeniture). He's 41, and his brother is 44, neither of them have children, but they have non-dynastic nephews and nieces by their sisters.
The Zealots are currently the richest organization in the country, the Grand Master's vaults holding 43.7k gold. As ordained by the Levites put in charge by the Lord it is not possible to banish him (I think, unless maybe there's the whole Holy Order taking over an area and then getting vassalized? still probably not though).
