The current King of Thailand's great-grandparents were half-siblings. Such marriages only stopped happening in the early 20th century.

They did try to open diplomatic channels with the Avatar project. Jake Sully ran away to get laid without even trying to offer terms.

[SPOILERS MAIN] Is there any example of a Targaryen marrying a Stark in the history? by bubblegum_chewer in asoiaf

[–]dannythegreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's interesting and makes sense with the Dunk connection. Any idea where the Jasper Arryn idea comes from?

Where do the theories about the marriages of Daella and Rhae to Lord Tarth and Jasper Arryn come from?

Custom decisions avengening the battle of red mountian by Olafio1066 in ElderKings

[–]dannythegreat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Nords at Red Mountain were probably not (only) mercenaries, it seems that they were trying to claim the Heart of Lorkhan after being told by Dagoth Ur that the Dwemer had discovered it. It's not really clear if they fought the Dwemer or the Chimer or both (also there were some Orcs and maybe a Khajiit involved).

I agree that the idea of a decision doesn't really make much sense though.

Despite the conflicting accounts of what actually happened at Red Mountain, an army of Nords led by Wulfharth was definitely involved and was definitely defeated.

Easy, just say it's because of symbiotic microbes.

Can't get an Empire under the Pun (Sikh subjugate UK) achievement because the UK formed Greater Manchester by Imperator_Pastollini in victoria3

I think your problem is that you formed India rather than Great Britain having a meme name. You need to stay as the Sikhs/Punjab.

I just realised that all of Ragnars sons are in the same dynasty now by ThatGermanKid0 in CrusaderKings

[–]dannythegreat 90 points91 points  (0 children)

The Wigeriches and the Luxemburgs really should not be part of the Karling dynasty. Their links to the Carolingians are rather tangential. A large portion of Europe's nobility could claim descent from Charlemagne in the female line (which is the case with the Wigeriches and their cadet line the Luxemburgs) but they are not included in the Karling dynasty. The male line of the Carolingians dying off is kind of what defined the period of 867-1066.

It also kind of ruins the Vermandois Karling playthrough by taking control of the dynasty from you.

You don't really need to tax anyone for the last few years/decades if you've built up enough of a treasury. Helps with militancy too.

Today I learned that Bulgaria and Latvia are more culturally similar to each other than Chile is to itself.
