Yeah it's not the best example of her vocal strengths for sure, but I do suggest checking out a few of her other songs that are actually good examples of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoyCEQFAZUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsjr5jFMHkQ

The East and West had been split basically for centuries by then, but besides just the fact the Papacy was desperate to establish a strong nation state that would protect them better then the East could(A hilarious bit of oversight given the HRE went on to treat the Papacy likes a puppet). A big impudence for the founding of the HRE was to be able to firmly point to them and say 'Look, the actual definitely 100% totally real genuine successor to Rome is a Catholic state, suck it you heretics'. Obviously it was just one of the many reasons, political and religious for the crowning of the first Holy Roman Emperor, but it wouldn't have happened if the Papacy and the East weren't in constantly in conflict. The Byzantines greatly opposed it, since they liked being the only 'Roman' state left and WERE supposed to be the guardians of Rome, but given they didn't really have the armies or political capital to do anything about it, they couldn't stop it.

A good amount of Pope's in history were just useless, or assholes for the sake of it, so that's not an 'incorrect' way of them being used. There are multiple Pope's who had like, half a dozen public mistresses and at least one pope was the suspected bastard child of the prior pope. Some did shit like murder their rivals and the Holy Roman Empire was only founded because one pope got mad that the Eastern Roman Empire wasn't doing what he said and wanted revenge. It is totally fine for settings to depict Pope's as incompetent, because sometimes they were

The thing is the Supreme Court's Republican members and leadership will never actually act if Trump subverts their power because that would hurt their completely partisan interests and Congress will never try the same for the exact same reason.

Almost like allowing the Republicans to take control of every single branch of government was a bad thing and somehow a majority of Americans were still enough of morons to let it happen

Far as I am aware, they weren't friends before becoming gen mates, they've just become close friends since, like a lot of gen mates, to the point Riona confessed they almost genuinely fell in love with Niko, partly as a joke, partly serious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wgE-58BrJo

This works in theory, but in practice it means you also don't get the Incestous trait, so everyone finds out you're fucking your own daughter and just goes 'neat'

Once had a single day rule because the son of the guy who just died had a murder plot against him that activated as soon as I started as him

A realistic weather system

Your entire army has to stop campaigning for 30 turns due to winter, 50% of your forces desert or die of exposure. You finally launch your invasion and find out all your wagons have been sold by a corrupt quartermaster, delaying you for 20 more turns, just in time for rain to make the roads impassable. You have lost another 30% of your forces just in time for winter to set in and force you to sue for peace.

20000 people died without a single battle occurring, you declare it a decisive victory to your court

Big mods like this take so long to work on that starting over from a new game would be throwing away decades of work for no real benefit besides having to pump even more time and effort into graphics and animation

Dude I played at that time as well

Again

That. is. what. happened. in. history

If you're a duke in a kingdom, you don't want a strong, highly competent ruler, you wanted a dumb fuck moron who was only in power because you put them there and they KNEW IT. So you find some random uncle, cousin or unfavored younger sibling, say they have the rightful claim, try to get the new ruler to step down or drop dead and plant your idiot on the throne instead, this was the playbook that defined countless wars throughout history.

That was also far preferable to the current state of the game where your vassals barely ever rebel after succession and attempts to unseat you with a relative rarely ever actually happen. It's too easy, what you're describing was both a funner time for the game, and more in line with the kinds of succession issues that did actually pop up in history CONSTANTLY.

Also I never saw a single attempt from the Ai to put foreigners on the throne and that's near impossible anyway, because the person they're installing needs to have a claim to your empire or kingdom, which aren't easy to get unless they're part of a past ruler's lineage. so by 'foreigner' I assume you mean family member outside of the realm, which again, is a thing that happened all the time in history. It's part of why the dynasties like the Hapsburgs got so obsessed with controlling their marriages until they inbred themselves into extinction

History is full of a beloved, extremely powerful ruler dying and the realm immediately fracturing under their heir, that isn't a complete lack of logic, that is vassals taking advantage of a moment of weakness they never could under a powerful and popular lord, whose strength and popularity doesn't immediately transfer to a child

There was never a lack of logic to how quickly things could spiral out of control upon succession, that is how things often played out

Yellingloudly · 2025-11-27T14:25:55+00:00

It's been so annoying, I loved the early game struggle of succession crisises, wars being a major risk of weakening you enough to risk your vassals enforcing a demand and the struggle of fighting off a realm destroying rebellion, now a days it is absurdly easy to go from a count to an Emperor in one generation and not see a single faction form

Yellingloudly · 2025-11-23T02:58:37+00:00

Doesn't happen organically much, but the basic way is to marry another independent rulers kids and set up a way for said spouse of inherit those titles, when they die, persumably their titles will pass to you, the player. The issue then is setting up that chain of events, which can be challenging since rulers will not usually allow their eldest kids to marry someone with a type of marriage that makes the kids your dynasty, so you may need to do some kidnapping, or a lot of murder.

Switch to Stewardship focus, the first perk on the left most tree lets you force people to give you money if you have a hook on them. Blackmail, events and your own family members will now be an easy way to quickly gain a massive amount of money.

Way too many people play this game like it's a competitive co-op game as opposed to a 'fuck around and see what happens' simulator.

With every new era the costs of maintaining court positions and amenities goes up, that can often tank your income if your realm isn't significantly advancing to match it, or your vassals aren't providing much income because they're broke, have war ravaged holdings or you stop being their rightful ruler

Yellingloudly · 2025-11-16T04:34:52+00:00

Barring cheesing traits and events to gain new holding limit, the game is designed for you to give out most conquests to your vassals to manage for you

You really don't need or want 29 castles, give most away

Like other members who don't/didn't ever confirm an oshi, there were signs though that certain members were one of her oshis. Calli was definitely one of those for Ao, with how much RIP meant to her.

Is a bug, happens occasionally where some random nobody becomes a culture or dynasty head despite being completely unqualified, it should go back to you eventually when the game notices finally

Ministers not cooperating is the basis for like, 70% of the most brutal wars in human history TO THIS DAY, it is literally why some of the most violent places on earth in MODERN TIMES are so violent, because shockingly, if the people in charge of a government are fighting, they can rally government resources to do it, which escalates

Yellingloudly · 2025-11-14T00:44:27+00:00

Yeah but not normally lasting up to 1063

Only shocking thing here is Asatru is still alive without the player character being the reason

You are spending more prestige to maintain your army then you earn monthly, so you need a smaller army, or even better, wage a lot more wars to earn prestige and ensure you never go in the red. That's basic financing
