I've got a law: The Kings of Khazaria shall not war with those who follow the words Jesus or the words Mohammed, lest they throw the first blow. Filthy pagans are fair game tho. We've got centuries until Crusades and Jihads will be a thing, so this could curb our expansion into the Holy Land.

gently caress Adventurer invasions, seriously. Where do those troops even come from? EDIT: Oh, heads up if we're reestablishing the Crimean Money Factory - Give the mayor the county title his city is in. Then give him the duchy title. It's best to give him all the counties in the duchy before giving him the title. Now let's show those Italian bastards how to make money.

Eh, Elective can be a crapshoot in my experience. There's always that one Duke who will never vote for your choice, even at 100 opinion. Huge money sink. Of course, just having one duke and a bunch of counts can rig the odds in your favor (like my Abyssinia/EGYPT RESTORED game.) Now Tanistry on the other hand...

CapnAndy posted:Even in the worst case scenario, they can only take us one duchy at a time, 10 years apart. We're not facing a game over here yet, guys. Just a humiliating drubbing. They're after the other Georgian duchy, aren't they? Maybe after we fully withdraw from the Caucasus, the Romans will leave us alone and we can go beat up some Zoroastrians or something.

The non-Christian/Muslim holy sites tend to be random as hell - probably to make it somewhat difficult to get all of them. I'm still trying to figure out why Tengriism has a site in the middle of Hungary. Isn't that where Attila the Hun's court was?

So I made a lovely mockup of the flag for our impending Jewish Tartaria/Jewistan/Super Khazar World: why is it an even number it doesnt center right why why whywhy ...is there another way to Jew something up without spamming the star of David? Maccabees hammers? Random Hebrew? Scrolls?

For the record, our coat of arms is basically a less grandiose version of my mockup.CapnAndy posted:I quite like that, I think we'd overcomplicate it by adding additional iconography. The only thing I'd change would be to pull the wings up a bit so they're not crowding the star at the top, otherwise it's very striking. I'm probably going to move the star down, actually. Maybe shrink it a bit so it centers better.

Patter Song posted:Star of David isn't period-appropriate anyway, it wasn't primarily associated with Judaism until the 19th century, and in the Medieval period it's about as likely to be used as a symbol of occult magic (the Seal of Solomon) as it is a sign of Judaism. I'll probably whip up a menorah version either tonight or tomorrow. Although I'm now partial to the idea that outsiders think Super Khazaria is populated by crazy occultist Jews who ride horses and shoot people.

Amnistar posted:...Are you changing your religion? I will be very dissapointed if that happens! :P OOC: No, no. I said "temporary solution", not "fix literally every problem we have". --------------------------------------------------------- Update 0: News of the World Ah. Hello there. I am the Khan of Khazaria, refuge of the Jews, Khan Manar ben Tabghaç of House Bulanid. I...apologize for the mess. My father's death has been...greatly affecting me. Between his passing and our subjugation of the Cumans, a day has not gone by where I sleep soundly. ... ...Oh! Would you like to see my maps? I simply adore maps. There's something rather...special, in seeing the world spread out before you. Don't you think? Ah, never you mind. Here's the most recent map of my kingdom.  My ancestors have done quite right by us, wouldn't you say? Even after countless tragedies which have become routine for we Jews, the kingdom of Khazaria has soldiered on and prospered! Shame about that odd enclave of ours to the northwest though. My father's cartographers made a typo it seems. I should really start making plans to fix that.  Here we have the endless pagan fiefdoms and tribes. Our generals and rabbis have told me that quick wars in the name of God against them should bolster Judaism's sway over the realm. I bet they have plenty of gold, yeah? (OOC: Keep on truckin', Livonia)  The Romans. The damnable, blasphemous Romans. It is my dream - nay, the dream of every Khazar - to see their precious walls crumble to dust and have God ruin them like the Gomorrans they are. We are not strong enough to defeat them in a head-on fight - I am a realist, do not get the wrong impression - but their are...other ways to destroy an enemy. The current Empress is in the middle of a revolt, and her son is merely a child. A child of a different dynasty, at that! If the good Empress were to have an accident, well...  Here is a map of central Europe. Bastion of the Christian goyim. This map in particular was made very recently, as the squabbling between the descendants of Charles the Frank has the borders change almost daily.  Iberia. The site of constant struggle between the Mohametans and the Christians. The Umayyad Caliphate is but a shadow of it's former glory now, beaten back by the Francians and Holy Orders.  I'm going to level with you. We have have no idea what is actually going on with the isles of Britain. Quite frankly, I myself don't want to know.  The Seljuks. The hated Seljuks. They stole our path to the Tomb of Esther. They humiliated us on the battle field. And they will get theirs.  Oh, they will get theirs...Them and the Romans. They will learn not to trifle with God's Chosen People.  ...Well, our subjects are gradually learning to follow the correct path. A few more conquests, and they will start seeing the truth. Oh! Look the the time. My coronation is soon, I had better prepare myself - look presentable and all that. Shall you join us in the festivities? ... You will? Good! Head down to the dining hall. I hear Binyamin the chef is preparing a grand feast for the entire county!

it begins Update 1: Adjustments and Preparations The traditional shiva for my father has been sat. I have been properly coronated. The rituals are over. I must now begin the practical side to running a kingdom. Starting with ending the Cumans!  My new vassals have been surprisingly useful; siegeing down Ishim and pursuing any straggling armies. Meanwhile, my personal forces plus the mercenary corp my father hired lay waste to Tobol. This is a simple war. I'm certain the Cuman king will give up the ghost in due time. Less simple, however, are my political issues.  The Duke of Abkhazia is the only one of my vassals who did not meet my ascension with praise. He leads three whole factions against me (all for seemingly contradictory goals, granted.) They're weak now, but I must be on my toes if they start to fester. Vassals are not quick to trust a new ruler, I may have to be liberal with my gifts.   To counteract this, I sent my skilled Chancellor Kibar to entreat Duke Abkhazia. I also enacted some legal reforms that should make the vassals warm up to me faster.  I put my son's name into the nomination ballot for my successor. The electors (which only encompass the Dukes of core Khazaria; that will need to be rectified somehow) have their own candidate, but I am sure that as Menumarot matures they will come around.  The mercenary corp that my father - bless him - hired has been indeed very useful, but the sellswords are putting a drain on our treasury. I decided to raise the tax burden on the burghers and mayors, because quite frankly no one cares what they think. The Grand Mayor of Manasseh actually liked me better for doing this.  To buy myself a new ally at little cost to myself, I usurped the Duchy of Kiev (which was owned by some fool who didn't actually own any land their) and gave it to...the rabbi duke. Apparently someone set up a theocracy on the frontier of our kingdom. This...requires some explanation. I'll search my ancestor's records as soon as I can.  Ah! The siege of Tobol has been complete!  And my daughter is growing up to be a lovely lovely girl!  And the Cuman king gave up! This has been a grand series of events! Why, I feel so festive...  ...that I feel like making our borders beautiful! ----------------- OOC: No, seriously, how did we get a theocracy running around?
