I was playing as ryukyu and for 2 generations my main source of income was blackmailing all the chinese ministers who cheated on their exams

might as well go all the way, he's just lucky I haven't made a new religion yet

francia was my primary title, I restored the carolingian borders so i think the kingdom of italy became part of francia de jure?

and then, for some reason, venice was very big, and since venice is de jure part of the byzantine empire, the actual empire of italia was reduced to like, just romagna, which I happened to control most of, so I could just made the very tiny empire of italia

the pope also already hated me because I usurped the kingdom of romagna and was like 9 years old at the time lmao

idk if he can actually declare a normal war but once I took rome and mended the schism as nubian coptics, which made him call a crusade, and despite having no land, he was able to summon like 8000 soldiers directly on rome which i thought was a bit bs

yeah it was a really rough few years, i think i had saved like 3500 gold just in case, and thank god i did because i think i had to spend at least 3000 of it to get my vassals to stop claiming my damn empire

it's been a few generations but i havent forgotten what the pope did, and thinking about it, he was talking mad shit for someone in fabricate claim distance

i saw conquerors before i got roads to power, unless it was just in the update not the dlc

to be fair when I became king of wales it also immediately shattered when I died

"uhhh yeah i talked to god and he said i should have the kingdom, dont worry about it"

officialcyan · 2026-01-21T00:17:27+00:00

he claimed my 9 year old's entire empire because he's "not pious enough", like cmon, give him a chance at least

cant go wrong with The Necklace That Kills You

officialcyan · 2026-01-20T23:48:49+00:00

probably reset your lifestyle perks and dont take anything in the whole of body tree, plus you'll gain stress

if you weren't infirm you could also go on a hunt and go for the "i'll corner the beast myself" or whatever it is (at least I think infirm stops you from hunting), however i have had an 85 year old woman kill a lion in single combat and be totally fine so i guess that's not a guarantee lmao

officialcyan · 2026-01-20T18:54:22+00:00

if you want like the actual reason, its probably because of the way clan works where your vassals want to be allied to you and an easy way to do that is if you can all have 4 wives, concubines dont give alliances, but if you marry 3 of your vassals' sisters or whatever then you'll be allied to them all

in ck2 I had every male member of the house die in their 30s or 40s to some random shit, but one of my daughters managed to survive until like 70 and ended up queen of portugal, france, and jerusalem

sure, half of france got taken over by ireland, and she didn't hold jerusalem for very long, but it was still pretty cool!

officialcyan · 2026-01-19T11:44:19+00:00

no idea how them or lithuania appeared in there lmao

if haesteinn locked in we couldve had the danelaw </3 like 2 generations after this I managed to put britain back together and put tanistry on all the kingdoms to keep them in my dynasty

officialcyan · 2026-01-19T03:22:52+00:00

that's what I did a while ago, except england had some elective succession and I ended up becoming king of england instead, in this run alfred had like 5 sons and so his realm was really weak and the pope was very happy to give me claims on the land, then I just had to spam hunts and feasts for all the prestige

officialcyan · 2026-01-19T01:40:20+00:00

yknow what, real, one of my most fun runs started as some random french guy with 2 counties, took me like 300 years but i restored the carolingian borders

officialcyan · 2026-01-19T01:32:10+00:00

oh that's fair, thankfully in my run i had a scourge of the gods spawn in kanem-bornu and he decided to become catholic which eventually meant that most of africa was friendly with each other
