A small queenly survey to those who have played EUIV's Extended Timeline mod: How long do you usually play for and at what pace?

Always 4 or 5 speed. Never really gone more than 1000 years.

I'm currently at about 400 years in a WRE-Roman Empire run, longest I've played so far in ET is about 1,000 years. Always highest speed.

As long as I remain interested in that particular game. The furthest I've ever gotten, I think, was from the start (Year 2) to the 1700s.

Always on 5 speed. I've set up my message settings to pause on important messages like revolts, though.

I still unable to play more than just 400 - 500 years. It's so boring to play it I don't even know whether it's the fault of myself or the fault of EUIV.

Pace? 3 or 4. 5 is unmanageable.

"Of all of the odd consequences of the Gothic Migration through Arabia, perhaps the oddest is the recurring mention of the Qurayza family in Gothic records, even during the period of Athalok Longshanks, some fifty years after Gothic departure from Arabia. The Qurayza family was a Semitic Jewish family from the period of the Gothic occupation of the City of Muscat, the biggest city in what is now Oman. The Quayza family, or, at least a portion of it, was known to have traveled with the Goths Eastwards, first into the Maldives, before finally arriving in Sri Lanka. They contributed significantly to the Gothic administration during the years of Fridarik the Victorious thanks to Khaireddin Qurayza, and as such were given royal patronage. By 538, Khaireddin's granddaughter, Saaman Qurayza, still maintained her Jewish faith and acted as a concubine for Athalok Longshanks, while her son, biologically from before her time as Athalok's concubine, Hathus Akhnassunus Qurayza, served as a courtier and later married a member of the Crimling royal family; Athalok Longshanks' daughter Rikiberga. Saaman, a tutor for many Crimlings, was also probably responsible for the conversion of Thurismund Crimling, nephew of Athalok, to Judaism."

You always need a Jewish family to handle your finances if ck2 has taught me anything

So before I go to war with England I need to know something.
If I have 14 heavy ships and 4 light ships, and they have 5 heavy ships and 9 light ships.
And the fighting will be only in the open sea where heavy ships dominate...should I declare war?

In my experience, fighting England on the high seas is absolutely insane and broken in favor of England. I've had more than double their heavies before and lost because of the outrageous English buffs. I've tried testing things between heavy ship ability versus morale to see which is more effective and I'm pretty sure the key to English success is their morale. So if you've got the money, try rolling for one of those advisers. Also a good thing to be mindful of, engagement width is a thing in naval battles now. I haven't played around with this much, but a general rule I follow is to partition my fleet into their classes and make sure the heavies go into combat first with any other ships following, a day behind. It can be mini-management hell sometimes. Thankfully, England is pretty much the only nation on the planet where you have to be concerned about these things.

In your specific situation of 14/4 versus 5/9 . . . you'll most likely lose an obnoxious amount of ships for being triple their strength in numbers, but I would sincerely hope you win that fight. I'll be just as pissed as you if that fight fails.

I am currently occupying all of England so I think you can guess how that ended.
EDIT: Aaaaand Scotland has it's territory back, England is kicked out of mainland Europe and I control London.
*mic drop*

So England still alive, but basically torn apart?

Nobody's ever proven that God is not malevolent. Trust me, as that screenshot shows, the second coming of Jesus is going to be a wild one.

Hey let's leave that discussion for the hundreds of theological threads on here.

Also has anyone else here played with the shattered world mod for CK2? I love the duchy mode on it so much. I've got a game as the Duke > King of Castile where the Sunnis have almost completely been driven from NA (sadly since they keep converting in my holy wars instead of giving up their land like good little Infidels), the Miaphysites have made a complete comeback and own from Ethiopia to up to Armenia, and Norway just got crusaded since it was still Germanic all the way in 1150.
