I thought it was Charles and that he was only known as Karl in German.

Wait, now that I think of it, is Karling the german version of the French name Charlemagne? Yes, I'm litterally pulling this out of my ass.

Its another name for Carolingian, which was Charlemagne's family line. And i think the name means descendant of Karl or something like that

I'm so fucked up on caffeine and no sleep that I probably couldn't give you the right names if I tried, but what I do know is that in 769 Charlemagne had been king of the Franks for a year.

That's him.

Ive never once tried a game as Charlemagne. In fact, i dont think ive ever played in france or germany except when i invaded them as the Norse/Byzantines and one or two attempts as William of Normandy on ironman. I tend to play around the Middle East, Scandinavia, British Isles and Italy and the Mediterranean mostly.

Most of my CK2 games are in Britain, Spain, Italy, or, if I hate myself that day, Russia. I've tried playing India like three times and I instantly got bored with all of the big kingdoms keeping everything stable.

You wouldn't. Because you're not a fuckwit AI. But I've seen AI Castile refuse it twice now for no apparent reason (apparently it just rolls a dice to decide). It's particularly annoying if you actually want to see a united Spain.

So Khergit is interesting. At war with everyone but Rhodok and we're winning. Then again the AI decides 100 low level infantry makes a good stack. Meanwhile i go from 40 cavalry to 130 because the AI is terrible at winning against horsies and I level upped to 30 without effort. Also thank you RNStalin for my luck against the Sarranids and gifting me the greatest gift of all Mamluks.

I think my sum total of games amounts to a bunch of Irish games (it's role-play heaven there, I actually love sitting there without a care in the world), maybe a Scottish game?, a few games in Scandinavia, a few Byzantine games, a Umayyad game, and some games in the Middle East. Can confirm Egypt (specifically the Fatimids).

I started off a new game as the Count of Capua. My eldest daughter and heir just came of age, and I somehow got her matrilineally married to the heir to the Byzantine Empire.

Nope. I'm guessing that either the algorithm fucked up, or the Emperor had the hots for my daughter.
