So am I the only one in the world that actually enjoys bordergore?
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

It used to all be part of the kingdom of Aquitaine.

Then the Irish showed up and it all went badly.

I started playing the HOI4 Modern Day mod (Millennium Dawn) after browsing a number of counterfeits. Must say it certainly deserved that reward from the Pardox Convention.

I think there should be an option for Monarchist America to join the Commonwealth of Nations; but still excellent mod!

... also think Brazil should have a unique focus tree, but still great MOD!

Ah yes, the Norman King of Sicily.

Also turns out i was not a beduin or berber or anything like that, i guess kids with catalan ancestry just use the same portraits as most of the muslim worlds kids which was a bit confusing.

As someone who has used Ruler Designer I can testify that ethnicity and culture are different things; the Norman displayed is the man's culture while he's obviously of the Han ethnicity.

I can testify to this as I played an ethnic Ashkenazi who was culturally Italian and a Patrician of Venice (also he was Jewish and everyone hated him) (Yes I did this as homage to 'The Merchant of Venice by William Shakspear').

Culture and Ethnicity are two different things.

Almost at the end of my campaign. Current character is Empress Caitlin the Cruel, and these are my current holdings.

Some setbacks and a few nasty wars which killed a lot of my soldiers, as well as the re-establishment of the kingdoms of France and Aquitaine has made my expansion into that region a bit harder and slower, but ive still got large sections under my control in the north.

I had my last empress, Kiara the Lionheart (best nickname ever) eventually commit suicide in her 60s, she was a hell of a fighter with a martial of 27 but she had been depressed for a long time and i wanted to nab the Empressive Achivement by playing as a third empress in a row so i had her jump from the balcony to end it all.

So updated achievement list so far this run:

Always Bet on Duke
Its Good to be the King
Its Better to be Emperor
United the Kingdoms
Crusader
Keeping it in the family
Empressive
