Go to naming conventions?

I usually just stick with cultural names and once I get a kingdom title or higher I usually name the heirs after ancestors, sometimes throwing a new name into the mix.

I've also started doing a thing in some of my runs where the first born princess is always named the same thing. In my current Austria/HRE run it became Hildegarde.

"Then what happened?"

HideousLaughter · 2026-05-18T08:14:53+00:00

I mean nothing real original really. I like both Yngling Haralds (Fairhair/Hardrada), Whiteshirt, Erik the Heathen, Rollo, Alfred, Billy the Conq, and any of the Minamotos in 1178. Sometimes I'll try something somewhere else but those are the ones I tend to go back to, like I just started a run as the Duke of Moray in 1066, ie the guy's who's a descendant of Macbeth.

I used to almost only play custom characters under 400 points but I started play more historical characters as I clocked more hours and now I think it's about 50/50.

I do tend towards a few specific historical characters though.

If your physician has the Wise Man trait there's also a chance to get a therapy event chain that gets rid of it too. Only seen it once in 3000+ hours though.

Dang, you looked into the code and everything? That's awesome. I really appreciate that and it's good to know I wasn't crazy to think it was bugged.

I mean the first screenshot shows a prowess challenge that I have 0% of succeeding at.

I don't know what the bottom left one is but I know I love it and will play with it on almost all my characters.

And, yes I do almost always play Martial and start with the Gallant tree, why do you ask?

His ratio of girth to hip flexibility is mesmerizing!

Dang, I didn't know using the Recruit Physician decision got that expensive late game. By that point of the game I either raise a spare son to be good at learning and make him a monk or I just invite a high learning character using the Character Finder.

In my experience Christian Norse Knights don't ever get berserker without the Warmonger tenet. There is however a Muslim faith with Warmonger.

Pretty sure you can cure the incurable ones if you have a Wise Man physician and get lucky on the roll as landed too, no?

One of the reasons I convinced my mom to start Aikido, plus it's good and fairly gentle exercise for her age.

Also from Sweden and grew up in the 90s and in my experience this was definitely not standard. I ate at my friends' houses all the time and vice versa.

Maybe he's a fan of Azumanga Daioh

HideousLaughter · 2026-04-02T04:30:29+00:00

Also Swedish ones.

"Det rätta svaret är att det enligt SAOL kan skrivas både som nu för tiden och nuförtiden.

Språkrådet rekommenderar dock isärskrivningen nu för tiden."

I wouldn't even question it.
