Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

somewhere on that reddit someone was saying the next xpac would be "Battle for the Bosporus" but I can swear I've heard people claim this in the past. Am I just going nuts, or did this happen.

I mean they’ve all but confirmed it officially at this point

It would be hilarious to play an Aboriginal and conquer Britain, it’s satisfying enough doing so as Bharat

The solution to this evil is simple: Kill the Babies

Formed the Slavic Union! Details inside.

I did the thing, except its now in CK3! Started as Duke Mstislav of Novgorod in 1066, murdered my way into becoming Tsar of Russia, and expanded from there.

Sorry for any mistakes I make with regards to history while roleplaying in historical RPs. Also I am not a qualified historian or academic. None of the make-believe I do is likely to stand up to academic scrutiny.

High King Lorcan has finally united Ireland at age 53 in the year 1187 after driving the last of the Scots out of Ulster.

Now to just dick around, built up my stuff, and wait until another crusade pops up.

I think I'm beginning to understand how Catholicism works in CK3. Firstly, if you, the player, are Catholic, fervor tanks like a rock and won't recover. Once the player leaves Catholicism, their fervor will shoot right back up to 100% and the player will be singled out and crusaded until they have an aneurysm.

Also, Norse characters remain absolutely awesome. Every aspiration I had playing playing as Fairhair was met and MORE. I can't believe I actually reformed the faith as him, I didn't even have my mind set on it until I was at least 50 years old. I was able to get everything I wanted out of my new faith and it was much more expensive than I thought it was going to be.

Harald Fairhair is also the character I chose for my second campaign, and basically this. He died with three crowns on his head (Norway, Denmark, and Sweden) after having led the reformation of the Norse religion.

I'm now on... I think my 5th or 6th character for this campaign? Scandinavian Elective is overpowered, but also a bit finicky; I had a bad election at one point which shattered my realm, and I had to spend most of my last character's lifetime putting the pieces back together. To avoid a repetition of the incident I pushed westwards and formed the Empires of Scandinavia and Britannia.

Now I have two consolidated empires with Scandinavian Elective succession (instead of the five kingdoms I had before), which should hopefully lessen the impact of a bad succession.
