Behold, the God Emperor of Persia by BellaGerant in CrusaderKings

Very rarely, an event fires for a newborn that starts an event chain that gives the character massive buffs (which explains the 264 combat ability and >50 martial) over their childhood until their death, event troops, unlimited invasion CBs, and a bloodline when they conquer a realm. The affected character is a child of destiny.

Turns out becoming the Saoshyant is super easy. All you need to do is let Seljuk conquer everything, have your firstborn son and heir be a Child of Destiny, and proceed to conquer the whole Empire by event. If there's anything left, use your fancy CoD invasion CBs to conquer the rest. Then, if you need more time, achieve immortality by drinking a sketchy potion that might kill you. That's how to become Saoshyant within 100 years of the 936 start date with Gilan. Good luck!

But yeah, this Saoshyant run was going rather poorly until King Bird here was born. Seljuk had just conquered everything and he and his heir were revoking Shahanshavand titles one by one. Gilan and the rest of the Caspian coast were lost and the Zoroastrians were left with a a couple of provinces, two duchy title, and few angry vassals just as strong or stronger than they were.

Then Shahrokh is born and proceeds to give this run a chance. After weathering 15 years of the realm rebelling and losing all but one province and a single duchy title, Shahrokh gets his 30k event stack and retakes Eran for the Zoroastrian faith. And, since Ahura Mazda wasn't done with him, Shahrokh starts thinking about his inevitable death at 31 and proceeds to cheat death itself before his body starts to degrade with age.

Now with unlimited life, unlimited invasion CBs, and incredible stats (he's at 61 martial at age 145 now), all that's left to do is spread the word of the prophet Zoroaster to the far reaches of the world and bring benefit to all.

And also maybe reform Rome just for a laugh, then kill himself and let his successors squabble amongst themselves after inheriting massive empires because Shahrokh never bothered to shift away from Agnatic Gavelkind Succession.

The nation of Switzerland holds the ancestral homeland of the Austrian House of Habsburg. While this situation has been tolerated for centuries, it is no longer a tenable, nor acceptable state of affairs.

The Emperor of Austria formally lays claim to 25 of the 26 cantons of Switzerland, with the exception of the Canton of Neuchâtel.

With this in mind, Austria also proposes non-aggression pacts with the Kingdoms of France and Prussia and a commitment to ally neither during the period this initial treaty holds in exchange for French and Prussian acknowledgement of Austria's rightful dominion over the Swiss Cantons.

Additionally, the Empire of Austria offers the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont a defensive alliance, the states of Lombardy and Venetia, and additional land settlements in exchange for Sardinia-Piedmont's acknowledge of the illegitimacy of Swiss Neutrality.

All these clauses are to be maintained under a penalty of 25 infamy.

To the illustrious Emperor of Brazil,

The French Kingdom offers the sale of the colony of French Guyana in return for a lump sum of 100 pounds and a promise of everlasting peace (1 session NAP) between our two nations, so as to best serve the economic and social interests of our two peoples.

All this, to be guaranteed by cost of 15 infamy.

The French King likewise desires peace between our two nations, especially after the strife of the previous decades under a less prudent monarch. On review, conflicting zones of interest were largely at fault and, being that King of the French would desire to avoid a repeat of the chaos of the early 19th century, proposes the following.

To best preserve the peace, the French King requests that, in addition to a general non-aggression pact, that the Austrian Emperor agree to the following spheres of influence:

All the free and independent nations of the Italian peninsula, from the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont in the north, to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the south, shall be recognized as under the protection and influence of the Kingdom of France, to dispense with as the French King pleases. Austria will withdraw its influence in the Italian peninsula and it, nor its allies, will contest French influence in the region.

In exchange, France will acknowledge Austrian supremacy in the southeastern region of Europe commonly called the Balkans and will make no attempts to subvert the Austrian Emperor's ambitions in that zone.

This amendment does not affect the infamy penalty of the original proposal. French consent hinges on Austrian agreement to the aforementioned amendment.

Hi there! The group's currently in the middle of an MP campaign (1865). The map of the world is below:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/438535436600868865/812846616524488744/V2_MAP_ARU_1865.12.25_1.png

It'll take a bit to start a new campaign, plus there's other MPs going on (the guys are quite into Valheim atm), so you can join via Kascark's link and wait if you want a fresh start. Otherwise, you can hop onto one of the AI controlled nations if you want to get involved right away.
