I would say that most PDX games could use more anti-blob measures, but I know there are map painters here and I don't want to offend them.

Absolutely. Unless you’re going for an achievement there’s no reason to play beyond a certain realm size in CK2 because there’s nothing to stop you. You become too big to fail.
It’s pretty dumb.

Eh, if you're like me, you're roleplaying to some extent, so you won't just conquer anything that's feasible to conquer. For instance, I'm focused on former territories of the WRE, so even though it would be fairly easy for me to subjugate the heavily divided Scandinavia, I don't bother with it.

So the nobility didn't want the good son when it was through lawful succession, but will gladly let/help him start a rebellion to get his way?

The French political tree is quite complex so here's a TL;WTF (too large, wtf?):Communism
Anti-Fascist Coalition
-Presumably a French CPUSA-style Democratic Socialist path, resembles a communist Little Entente.
Loyalty to Moscow
-Standard communist path where you please Stalin.
Loyalty to the Cause
-My bet is it's a syndicalist path, but it looks like a Western Europe-based faction setup where France plays the role of Russia
Left Democracy
-Standard historical tree.
Right Democracy
-MarLib France basically.
Fascism
Latin Entente
-A fascist version of Loyalty to the Cause (teaming up with Latin countries in Western Europe to make a dominant France)
Towards a New Europe
-The French Axis path. You get Quebec out of it.
Monarchy, YES
Orleanist Restoration
-Civil Monarchist path, putting you through the same foreign policy as the democratic ones. King is the Orleans king (the branch between the First and Second Republics).
The Legitimate Heir
-Make like it's 2003 again and create Franco-Spain. Also puts you through the democratic foreign policy tree. King is the Spanish Bourbon dynasty (the current Spanish rulers).
Proclaim the Third Empire
-Boney's back again! He proceeds to yeet Britain, the Dutch, and the USSR, all while Balkanizing Germany along the way. King is Boney 6.All sides get access to the tree, it just seems best designed for the democrats.
Your options, ladies and gents:
-Little Entente tree, but bigger
-Allies
-Give Italy land in exchange for friendships
-Buddy up with the U S S R
All in all looks fun!

Looks like they're changing the state borders to align more with the Rhine.
Which has always been just a bit annoying when playing as an expansionist France.

Impaled Nazarene wrote:Decided to drop my current playthrough and try a minor duke in the HRE. I picked 1111 as the start date because 1066 has a Salian who seems scripted to rule for 40+ years, though there is a young Salian on the throne on this game it is at least a different one who may not live forever. Also starting after the crusade era starts is nice.
I picked Duke Siegfried of the Duchy of The Rhein. A one province duke that isn't an elector... PERFECT! I use cheat menu to join a small dynasty (Hohenzollern) because a 5 member dynasty is better than a 2 member dynasty. Pope calls crusade for Egypt I hire a fuck ton of mercenaries and because Crusade AI is bad and no one assaults settlements I was accruing occupation war score and picking off the tiny armies of the Fatimids (crusade for Shia lands is an easy win every time, except maybe post Mongol Invasion) my mercenaries ended up winning me the crusade putting my fresh 16 year old half brother on the throne of Egypt.
It's been 11 years and because of that juicy crusade piety and prestige I'm most likely going to succeed the incapable emperor.
UNFORTUNATELY, the only thing the Salians like doing more than living for too long is having an antipope.
I can't figure out how to dispose of an antipope as an emperor without surrendering during an antipapal war so I said fuck that, reloaded a save and made the Salian surrender because 4 antipapal wars in 2 years is ridiculous. Now to wait for the incapable Salian to die.
The point of this playthrough will be to have my family regularly elected emperor and expand the power and size of the HRE without doing the blobbing myself. I want to enjoy the catholic and imperial court life, raise children with focuses that are not Martial or Learning, fight pagans and Muslims instead of Christians (revolts and defensive wars excluded), and marry my way across Europe and stop my family from inbreeding.
