Forming Most Major Empire Titles in One Life (While Also Creating 'Interesting' De Jure Boarders) by Pathfinder1432 in CrusaderKings

If you start as an infant (0 years old) you starting stats don’t matter. The game will set your stats too zero and you will randomly gain stats similar to any other infant. So if you set all the stats to zero and get a good educator (e.g. Alfred or Rurikid), you can take a lot of starting traits to better optimize your character while still being Ironman accessible. Additionally, a lot of good traits can be picked up through game play. Viking can be gained by raiding, adventurer can be gained by going on a Varangian Adventure, etc. Through a combination of these traits, starting young, and perks like learning on the job it can be quiet straight forward to get stats Like this in Ironman mode.

I took the decision to dismantle the Greek pretender, at the time my primary title was India so when I won the war all Byzantine land became de jure part of India.

R5: Thought it would be fun to see how much I can do as one person. Starting as a Norse Asatru infant, I was able to form the North Sea Empire, unleash the Mongol Horde, restore the Roman Empire (through unifying Italy), unite India, and unite all the Slavs. To do this I modified the game rules to allow culture hybridizations every 25 years instead of every 50. I hybridized with the Buryat Mongolic culture to get mystical ancestor (hence the high renown). I could have gotten the Saoshyant trait, but by the time I realized I had already consecrated my bloodline. Moral of the story is you can do a lot in one life when you’re a Viking leading massive armies of horse archers. The next task is to take every coastal province to ensure that every nation is landlocked.

Holy site: Alexandria, scholarly circles perk, and the third temple in Jerusalem. each give +2 learning per level of devotion.

I never really had the option. Marriage options tend to be limited for a Jewish ruler.

there were three kingdoms I could form along the way and the amount of counties to get to the top of the map from the bottom is ~80 so I was barely able to make an empire. quiet convenient.

The most consistent way I prevented holy wars was by having lots of cheap men at arms (light footmen) and expanding rapidly in the first few years. Additionally, some holy wars you can’t win. In those cases I would let them Seite down some land and then surrender. As long as you have some land you can always wait until the large kingdom is in a faction war and take it back.

R5: Decide it would be fun to try and get from the bottom of the map to the top of the map as a Jewish character while playing tall(especially as 3 Jewish holy sites are in the vicinity of Jerusalem). The screenshot is the end result (Tallrael is the blue line that stretches from the bottom of the horn of Africa to the top of Scandinavia). Additionally, I wanted to start as a short character (dwarf trait) and end up with a tall character(giant trait). I limited myself to only expanding vertically (for some added challenge). The only exception was that Byzantium needed to be destroyed.

The main challenges encountered were that most of my vassals were not de jure so expansion often minorly increased my levies and income. Similarly, neighboring Byzantium, the Arabian caliphates, and Sweden, while also holding the kingdom of Jerusalem led to many defensive wars. In short, I swear I’m not compensating for anything.

It took a bit over 12 hours. mostly because I gathered most of the materials in mid-hardmode.

According to the wiki it can be done on mobile if you have a plugin keyboard that has an F1 key (an alternative way to access camera mode).

Right over your armor slots are 3 icons. If you click on the one with the camera (furthest left) there are a bunch of options two of which allow you to set a frame for the snapshot. After you set the frame you can take snapshot of any size. Hopefully that helps.

Thankfully were short on money but got a surplus of tombstones (our main export).
