The Imperial Reach wrote:I've done. For the first time in a CKII game, I've finally managed to eradicate all traces of Islam throughout the world. It no exists in landless, dethroned courtiers who are the last of their dynasty and random courtiers triggered by special events. There is not a single landed Muslim character or a single Islamic province in the world. Nestorianism is now the largest religion in the world, encompassing Africa, Southern Hispania, the Middle East, Persia, most of Northern India, Central Asia, Lithuania, and most of Western Russia.
It's like 1230 and there are still no Mongols yet.
The Holy Roman Empire is still neither Holy nor Roman, but it's definitely an Empire as it directly rules half of Catholic Christendom and has turned the other half into tributaries. The exception is, ironically, the Papal States which are under the suzerainty of fucking Byzantium of all places.
Rajasthan was formed by a Nestorian Khazar and is now pretty much single-handedly holding off Tibet, Decca, and whatever little shits remain in Bengal.
Persia is a damned mess of Nestorian rulers of various ethnicities.
I rule the mighty Arabian Empire as the Nestorian Bedouin Yahballaha Dynasty and am working on getting Nubia, Al-Jazira, Badajoz, Valencia, Iraq, and Andalusia into my de-jure empire. Had to take Nubia because Abyssinia had to be taken down a notch because they wouldn't leave Kanem-Bornu alone.
Byzantium has a fuck-ton of merchant republic vassals for some reason. Rajasthan has a republic vassal that owns, like, half their total territory (wtf?)
The Pope keeps calling crusades against minor pagan nobodies; Nestorianism used to dominate in Estonia until the fucking HRE went and vassalized it for some fucking reason.
I keep launching Great Conquests for Hispania's de-jure kingdoms because the HRE honestly needs taken down a notch (Britannia is his tributary, as is Sweden which is damned near close to forming Scandinavia). He's way too big and way too stable.
Most pagan steppe nomads are either Nestorian or Manichean; there's like one Suomenusko guy and one Tengri left, but they won't last long. The divide between Nestorian West and Manichean is perfectly set where the Urals are. I love it.
Tibet and it's vassals are way too OP, btw. So is Lanka, which can raise more men than his liege (the Deccan Emperor; it's like 40k to the Emperor's barely 20k)
HRE is rocking 150k while I've got 130k and Byzantium has, like, some shitty little 50k.
Also I infiltrated Lucifer's Own, somehow managed to kill/incapacitate all their members, left to try and redeem myself, and then ended up re-joining when that failed. Both times I became leader.
CKII is wack, I tell ya.
