Man, being a Crusader King is kinda boring. I basically just declare war on Fatimids and wait until the truce ends so I can declare another war on the Fatimids. I'm probably just gonna have to start conquering Sicily to make it less boring or something.

The Mani peninsula in southern Greece was majority Greco-Roman pagan until the 9th century AD, being the last known region to abandon the religion. Paradox devs have known this for years but refuse to make the associated county Hellenic in the early start date just le because they want to make restoring Hellenism as hard as possible. They could make a historically plausible Hellenic adventurer start based around this or something, but no, no fun allowed. Putting their own desires before historical accuracy pisses me off!

Picking a start date was always going to be difficult. Between Alexander's death and Ipsu,s shit is messy. During Achcmenids there is no point because the Achaemenids would be overpowered.

Feels like so much of the semi-recent stuff in this game is just a complete mystery with little to no documentation. Like this decision for example. It's been over a year since the DLC released yet there's nothing about this anywhere. It's not in the dev diaries, it's not on the wiki. Shouldn't some autist have written something about this there by now?It seems to default to asking the Pope which depends on his opinion of you and he can give you 4500 special soldiers for the war only which is very cool but I have no idea what triggers it to cause a crusade or how that crusade involves you if it does at all

I'll be dumping my AAR today, so filter me if you want to avoid my wordvomit{Count Eudes Robertine of Anjou} Eudes, son of Robert the Strong, was the count of Anjou, Samur, and Chartres. Only 10 years old, he had received his counties when his father had been slain by the viking warlord Hæsteinn the previous year at Brissarthe, one that had given the Norsemen the mouth the the Loire while maintaining Brenton control of Anjou's western borders. While it was Frankish custom to succeed the appointments of one's father, Eudes (or Odo) was underage and so his duchy had been confirmed to Hugo Welf, his half-brother through their mother Adelaide, with Eudes and his brother Robert being the Strong's immediate children. Having been confirmed to his father's lands in the Argengau, Hugo would remain mostly in the east, in Auxerre and Nevers, more preferable to the Yonne than the Loire. Thus, Eudes would be under the wardship of his elder half-sister, Bertha, who had some political sense in her: while the Robertines had done well for themselves and Neustria, Eudes was not the cream of Frankish nobility. Amongst possible matches in the realm, there were few eligible maidens who could serve Anjou, but for a low courtier in the Bellacin court of Prince Louis, whom would, at least, provide Eudes an entrance into the future-king's companions. Meanwhile, Bertha was not idle herself, having taken a husband in a miles by the name of Angelbert, that, while common-born, was a decent soldier: one who could teach Eudes what his deceased father could not. Squiring for many years while Roi Charles feuded with his kinsmen in Lotharingia, Eudes was excited when he heard that a great horde of Norsemen had invaded Flanders. Whilst they were unsure if Hæsteinn was amongst their number, the chance to learn what it was to fight the northmen would be valuable experience indeed.
