While I'm glad Paradox made it so a plague wasn't always occupying Istanbul they could have done the same with Rome. Nobody likes waiting 2 years to get a Papal claim because Slow Fever is occupying ONLY the west coast of Italy.

I think I'm just going to keep ordering them assassinated, but hopefully taking Islamic holy sites and generally destroying the moral authority of Islam will spark heresies and thus revolts over there.

Minus Africa that Umayyad caliphate is similar to the one in my game, though its called Hispania and the Umayyads lost control a little while back in one of the.... many many civil wars that empire has.

You should always use the 3 doctrine reforms mod. It balances pagans with the rest of the religions.

Jerusalem fell, but the Crusaders retook France. I had to abandon my longtime friend and ally the other Zoroastrian Kingdom (the Khurshids) since I need their land to form the Persian Empire. And yes, that is n AI-formed Britannia up there in the top left. And the Caliphate is all but RIP, they're down to basically Oman at this point.

You really need to stop the Byzantines. Justinian is starting to look proud.

Nah screw that, be best buds with the Byzantines. They need some love as all they are getting in my game is death and suffering.


I completely cucked the Abbasids tho by invading them for Anatolia after they took it over, that CB is definitely worth the threat level increase. SOooooo much land under my control from it.

I'll probably get it at some point. My current game is vanilla as hell (it doesn't even have great powers. I think it's not up to date yet) but the game has my interest piqued :p

Holy Shit, the one time I want my character to get assassinated and uuuuuuuuuuuuugh
I've been letting the plotters at it since 869 (20 years ago). Fylkir Bernd II Orenblau has survived the following attempts, basically becoming the one and only character in my story to survive anything from a plotter:
1- 871: Poisoned Wine in a Banquet
2- 872: "Highwaymen" jumped him on his carriage, jumped out of the falling thing and then rolled, lost a leg but survived.
3- 879: Snake in his room
4- 879: loose railing
5- 883: Poisoned Wine... again
6- 889: (a few minutes ago) escaped a tavern after smelling poop. The tavern exploded minutes later. Lost an arm.

You could also go and lead an army and hope to get hurt, or get a really bad physician and hope they fuck you up if you get sick. I had one asshole cut a hand off and severely wound me once then try and leg it. Got castrated once too to beat cancer.

Queen Newlyna of Brythoniaid once lost an eye in battle against the English. She got a cool eye patch and became known as Newlyna 'the cleansing flame'.

Then her kid threw a rock at her, and due to her lack of depth perception she failed to catch it and it took out her other eye.

This post is darker than Queen Newlyna's vision.

The good(?) news is that he died in 897 in natural-ish causes (he got cancer, and his medic cut off his face to fix it. for some reason), outliving every single one of his plotters.
