Also oh god I finally decided to look at Nubia in detail, and

I'd like to formally apologize for anything bad I said about people who voted against Great Nubia the first time around

What's that blueish kingdom in Anatolia that seems to have completely replaced the Khalufinids? Are they Rumi or straight up Greek/Levantine? Also, I really wish the Byzantines would conquer Smyrna already, that gap is driving me nuts every time I see it.

The Nubians lost Egypt, but it seems they took Mecca.

We're so close to becoming just the straight up Roman Empire, I can almost taste it... But that Stewardship issue doesn't bode too well.

Crippling ourselves can lead to unforseen consequences down the line, take for example ByzLP where we spent the latter half of CK2 and most of early EUIV going through multiple collapses.

The benefit of our Italian conquests is that we can kick out local counts and install ~~Goths~~ Turinese, but if we manage to succeed to the Roman throne, there are going to be a looooooot of strong vassals that don't exactly have the highest opinion of us.

Just looking at the map outside of old Roman borders is a nightmare patchwork of border gore. Not sure how that'll work out by EUIV, but there's still 500 more years to go.

Who controls Irminsul at the game start anyway?

Aaaaand there's the update, everything went surprisingly well for having a literal insane Emperor. What I most certainly don't approve of is giving land to the Saxons that should belong to our loyal British vassal!

If Seljuk actually makes it to the Byzantines' door, that would be the first Paradox LP where the Turks actually conquer Anatolia.

Gautes, Brithenig and Hispanian, so a Romantic America, not a Roman America.

My guess is that the Irish Britons and the Brithenig will fight over Canada and New England while we take the areas south of there as well as some Caribbean possessions while the Hispanians and Africanus go for Central and South America.

Technically if we're still a part of Carthage, it's Roman in name.

We should ally with the Solomonid caliphs against the Persian menace.

Even though cross-religious alliances aren't really possible, it would be great if ITL Muslims became major allies of Christian Europe against the dread hordes of Mani.

Why would you devote more to some minor religion that only has two countries? :confused:

This world's CK2 had Islam as a heresy of Judaism until the fourth expansion.

Australians aren't Polynesians, you're thinking Maori.

Also, it's probably just the two Icelandic counties except independent.

I would way, way prefer to see the vanilla New World scenario, Ofaloaf mentioned he was testing out various things in EUIV with colonization and those sounded interesting. If you want huge native american empires and Rome constantly getting its teeth kicked in, there's always ByzLP.

The ancient law of CK2: a genius heir will always die at the worst possible moment.

This is looking more and more like best case scenario, maximal extent of the Empire, worst case scenario, nightmarish implosion. At least hope lives on in Vlach Super-Jerusalem
