I actually liked it a lot more than GoT, if I'm honest. Genghis was cool, his wife was cool, his kids were cool, the bad dude was cool, the politics were cool, the nudity was cool, battle scenes were cool, sets were cool (especially the marsh from the beginning of season 2, those kinds of Chinese bamboo forests get me all hot 'n bothered), the dumb shit they were doing with the crusade was cool, and goddamnit even the silly romances were cool.

RIP

So I grabbed a bunch of screenshots from the CK2 game I've started. Pretty typical start for me, just playing the lovely casual game in Ireland before I eventually go off and play a more serious game off towards the east, later. Anyway:

Charlemagne has his priorities straight, right from day one.

My second ruler is probably one of the worst individuals I've ever played as, his stats when I got him were awful.

In the meantime, the Karling empire is in total shambles. I don't think I've ever actually had a game where they've succeeded, but at least this time there's a certain beauty in the cacophony of colors going on here. One of the Karlings ended up adopting another religion entirely.

On the homefront, I wrote two books with two separate rulers. One guy wrote a book simply titled "Human Anatomy", which was rather promptly lost during succession. The other book was called "The White Stag". Hehehe. White stag . . .

In realms far flung, a religion reformed and an early major invasion had made for fun world watching time.

And lastly, there are two big things to talk about here. First is sharing that Christianity has been staring at the deep end of a toilet in this game. The Karlingsplosion, Germanic Reformation and a France-conquering Ummayads have thrown Catholic moral authority so low that heresy has been spreading EVERYWHERE. I've actually had the opportunity to make holy wars in the British isles, where we remain pristine from most of the dreadful things happening on the European mainland. So that's one interesting thing about the screenshot I'm about to share, but what's even more off the wall strange is . . . well . . . see for yourself. Notice anything a little . . . odd about this ruler? This guy and the state of his realm was breaking my mind, so I purged this from existence.

No. Reforming pagan religions in CK2 is more a matter of unifying a bunch of similar but disorganised religious traditions into one codified structure. It's like a pagan Nicaea, not a pagan Luther.
