Paradox Games VI: Cuckolding Habsburgs since 1076 AD

[The Batavia]

Noooo, no no no no, you two want that go read twilight or something.

This is a pg13 thread about nukes, conquest, murder, incest and turning entire species into kfc boneless meals and other things such as that.

I'm still going to write fanfiction of this.

Question for more experienced CK2 players: What is like playing adjacent to the HRE? Thinking about playing a 1066 Denmark and I want to know how threatened I should feel, I don't normally play as nations that can't take on their neighbours.

Depends. Sometimes it dies, sometimes it blobs. Personally I'd join them then take over from the inside.

I don't want to play an HRE game, though, my vision is looking towards Scandinavia. Simply keeping the HRE off my back would suffice.

Hmm. Well, don't steal any of their de jure shit, don't be a pagan and you should be fine.

I assume I'll still have to be careful, but that's great to know that those simple rules should work out.

And so the King's manhood was never to be seen again . . .

Personally, I like keeping myself allied to them (or at least getting a NAP) whenever I play in Western Europe. Not only does that keep them from bothering you, but when you're weaker, it enables you to take on somewhat stronger foes.

[War Gears]

Since I've never obtained a single achievement on CK2 (mostly because all my games have been with modding or character customization) decided to see about playing a normal Iron Man as the earl of Northumbria. As Osulf, I gained over 900 gold and 1,600 prestige before dying, with my heir, who is economically savvy, saving more in preparation to overthrow Duke Asshole Morcar and obtain independence.

I have no idea why the King of Denmark and the Holy Roman Emperor have been letting me marry all sorts of my relatives into their family, since at the moment, we're a lowly bunch.

[Ism]

Now let's get back to topic before Bralia starts yelling at us.

Bralia is really just a little kitten, just an act she puts on.


Dont tell here i said that though.

Also yes ISM i will be changing my flag soon back to... it

*Ism has declared the Revolt Against the Tyranny of King Huskar war*

[Nature-Spirits]

Me in CK2: *blobs over a continent*
Me in EU4: *takes one county, it revolts, I lose it; can't manage resources or afford advisors*
Me in Stellaris: *one of the weakest empires, can't win battles for shit*
Me in HoI3 and Vic2: "This shit is too complicated, I give up."

Military shit is hard when you can't just rely on levies and have to remember to build standing armies. Also I often forget to move my armies around before declaring war in the games where I can do that, since I'm just so used to having to mobilise after the DOW (aside from retinues and hordes in CK2). Also, I am really bad at economy stuff and long-term strategy in EU4.

[War Gears]

Is it actually worth it to build trade post, militia quarters, and other things in CK2? It seems pretty costly and my levy decreased even after upgrading some military buildings.

Your personal levy will vary depending on your martial skills, temporary modifiers, and suchlike. That might be why it dropped.

Whether they're worth it depends, really. Do you have anything else to spend your money on? If not, you may as well upgrade your holdings. Just make sure you only build in counties you intend to keep.

Well, if you get big enough, retinues are vastly superior to levies. I have a screenshot floating around somewhere on my PC where I won a 12k vs 19k (I was the 12k) battle against the Byzzies. Then again, I can blame that on Heavy Cav and vassal holy orders...
