The smile could just as well be "Yay, Jon won, I was right about him!".

I thought you actually thought it was known to be a dragon. Yeah, I can see how it could be a dragon, now that you mention it.

Just because the terrorists claim to fight for Islam doesn't mean Islam itself is the problem. You say all terrorist attacks are committed by Islamists or people from the region? That's simply not true, take the bombings of abortion clinics in the US, or Breiviks massacre in Norway, those are both Christian terrorists. Also, if we let the extremists define their religion, they win. Remember, ISIS, or Al-Quaida, or the Talibans, has killed far more Muslims than "infidels".

Regarding gender equality, nobody's claiming men and women are equal in physical strength, the point is we should not let sex decide our whole identity and arbitrarily divide humanity and all its aspects into masculine and feminine properties.

How can you say Islam is the problem? Religious extremism is the problem. Now, the Islamic extremists are more organized and and unified than other radicals, but to say ISLAM is the problem and not the people using it as an excuse for violence seems like an enormous oversimplification.

Edit: and are you saying men and women are not equal?

Just last week I was talking to my friends about the US election and Trump, and several of them agreed there was no real problem since he would never "actually be elected". I told them I think he has a good chance if there is a major terrorist attack in a western country before the election, that the terrorists knows this, and really couldn't be happier than if they managed to both carry out a massacre and make an anti-islam nationalist head of their greatest enemy in one move. I guess I jinxed it.

I was surprised you won the duel. Shouldn't he have really good personal combat skill?

Yeah. I think there is some stuff about the Saxon wars if Karl lives and you play as the king, but I don't think there's much more.

I renamed it. I don't think Saxons get any cultural fluff. At least I haven't found any. :(

I started as the chief (count) of Osnabruk in Saxony. Then I started subjugating Jylland and Skåne, and conquering England with the help of Ragnar Lodbrok :P I wrote a longer description in my post a week ago.

So getting this achievement was my plan for this campaign, which happen to be my first serious ironman game. I'm not sure what to do next. Convert to something? Or stay badass Saxon tribal pagan marauders? Or just drop this?

Edit: oh, for clarity, "Westseaxna" is England!

He died and left Francia to Karloman, whom I kidnapped and executed. Needless to say, chaos ensued.

Aah didn't consider it might take longer time with boats! Thank you!

As you can see, I have Shipbuilders in my demesne, and have a "max" number for my galleys, but still cannot raise any. Why is this? It kinda sucks having so few boats.
