Well they're not free per say. But, they only cost me 6.5 piety. So that's nice.

I mean, holy orders are always free when defending against infidels, just not when attacking. Which I forget way too often so I only take advantage of it half the time, but hey.

Also what the fuck is the HRE doing with two provinces in Spain.

He's two ranks higher and their de jure liege with I assume the same culture and religion so they'll accept a vassalization offer.

Directly vassalizing a holy order is the greatest thing. I had a Fatimid game where I vassalized the Assassins and their strength made a big difference.

Holy orders don't have de jure lieges..... Unless he gave them land, but I can't see whether that's the case in the screenshot.

Honestly, while that last one is something I'm looking forward to, I'm also looking forward to the War Doctrines thing that you conveniently neglected to mention.

That teaser wasn't even out when I posted those, I was convinced that Wiz had finished teasing for the day. Little did I know that Wiz is never done teasing. Ifreann understood this where I had failed.

Apologies for the premature criticism, m'lady.

- Be me, playing as Bengal with almost no cheats
- Patch 1.23

Little did Grenartia know that their dick had already been chopped off and replaced with a rubber chicken so he wouldn't notice. Soon . . . very soon . . . he will be taking a trip to China.

Little did the Queen know that wasn't me, that was my lookalike, and that I'll still go to China, and cuck everyone there. And that I'll be on constant guard for any dick-snipping attempts.

Direct vassal holy orders is how I wrecked the Byzzies with a 12k vs a 17k. Heavy cav is god...
The way I got 2 vassal holy orders was I was playing Ireland, managed to have the highest crusade contribution by smashing small stacks, and then once I had jerusalem making the two vassal holy orders that you can make.

Do it, it'll be a defensive war so you'll be able to call all your allies to arms, and you're Austria, so you probably have a bunch of them.

Yes, this is how you drive the Turk from Europe.

More like I'll spend an afternoon with one nation and then I'll make a mistake that completely fucks my game so I ragequit.

"This continent ain't big enough for both of us." First time I've done that. 300k manpower for one achievement.

Portugal, demonym: Portuguese, capital: Sydney.

It's cool how quickly people blob in central Europe when you dismantle the HRE. Within a few years Ulm has six provinces,
Brandenburg is belatedly going for Germany, and everything on the Franco-German border keeps changing hands.
Batavia may appreciate this too.

The Mamlukes are trying to do all the things a nation can do in this one game, including being destroyed, declaring independence through separatist rebels, and converting to Christianity.

Hilarious.
