Crusader Kings 2

god i really think the game hates me. I marry my quick son/heir to a genius woman, who first has depression and illnes, then only manages to produce two daughters and a dead son. Then when she is almost 40, finally a genius son, only for my heir to die before me so he wont become king of norwayunless some weird stuff happens. then i die and my second son inherits (who i mainly disregarded), managed to crush a revolt to put my queer brother on the throne thanks to retinues and mercs, even though im now already 50...A
And my current heir ended somehow up as vassal of denmark, so not much control over that either

Ill be so happy when ill be able to reform norse faith. If your heir doesnt inherit one of your duchies/jarldoms, thats immediatly a big crunch out of his powerbase. Went from 8holdings to 2, and from 2500personal levies to 1000.

Still, feels rewarding when you crush it

And this, ladies and gentlemen, nicely summarises why Crusader Kings II is the best computer game currently on the market,
 
it has its charms yes :p but ironman mode wasnt a good choice to restart :p

Can you see your score without resigning?

Top right of the screen! It shows the score of everyone before your current ruler, but you can do some basic math and add everything together to see the 'total'.
 
ok thanks ill keep an eye on it.

Strangely enough i banished my queer brother to get his land, but he is still in my court...

Since im already 52, i dont dare to go raiding in case i die and i need my levies back home :(
 
You could send half your levies or just raid a neighbor. Can you post a map?
 
nah too late, he has kicked the bucket. Fairly smooth succesion. And my wife is the queen of denmark now. Unfortuantly we only had two daughters (one of which died), and she is past childbearing age, so i took a lustfull concubine and had a son. The risk of a prematre death or the *%)@#storm that would come with a female succesion outweighed the potential uniting of denmark and norway.

Just banished another family member and seized his land and gold. Its gonn be a pain to reform the norse faith, since its on 15% moral authority and you need 50...

The AGOT mod, I take it? What are we looking at?
 
The AGOT mod, I take it? What are we looking at?

My starting character was a OPM on the Frozen Shore. I invaded and conquered every province north of the Wall except one (I can't declare war on him for some reason) and crowned myself King Beyond the Wall.

I died. Son takes over. He's three.

With the massive amounts of money I had laying about, I decided to keep a small mercenary force active at all times because Wildlings tend to rise up often as rebels.

However, with my new character dealing with rebels, I got a message telling me the guy in charge of Shadow Tower is trying to get claims on me. Deciding I'll have none of that, I decided the Wall will be mine. Couple of months later, Wilding Army crosses the wall, destroys the Night Watch's army (if I had let it reach full strength, I probably would've lost), and I now have a foothold into the south.

Unfortunately, a certain somebody has reunited Westeros, so I'm probably done when it comes to raiding.
 
Raid Essos.

I would if not for the constant Wildling uprisings. You would think they'd stop once you're able to raise an army of 5000 men, including 1000 from Castle Black.

Or if you achieve Medium Crown Authority. I guess what I'm getting at is if you're the King Beyond the Wall, son of the previous King Beyond the Wall, and it is extremely likely your son will be King Beyond the Wall, the Wildlings should get use to kneeling.

I also don't have enough ships to raid Essos meaningfully given the distance, and I'm paranoid that the Iron Throne/North will march up (since I've taken Brandon's Gift and New Gift).

However, the Invasion CB the Wildings have is extremely useful. If this was a different bookmark, I may already have marched southward, but Westeros is pretty solidly Targaryen.

For now.

It seems that the current queen is matrilineally married to some guy from Ghizcar. I'm not sure exactly, but the dynasty name certainly isn't Westerosi. As it stands, Westeros is divided because of the war against Lys. While there aren't any kingdoms against the Iron Throne, I think the North has decided to sit the war out.

The North (ruled by Jeyne Bolton no less) is at war with somebody in Essos as well. I'm going to wait and see the war score and dive in once I feel strong enough. I can raise a maximum of eight thousand soldiers, but when garrison sizes can easily be in the thousands as well, I don't want to get in a situation where I get into a battle and can no longer besiege anything.
 
I'm going to assume you started in the AFFC scenario, because of Jeyne Pool. If so, that means dragons are lying about from Dany.

So yeah. Avoid the Targs like the plague.
 
Some of the DLC for CK2 is on sale on steam btw. I finally got The Old Gods for 75% off.

TOG and SoA actually went on sale for 75% off a lot sooner than I thought they would. Hopefully this trend will continue, because I hate waiting for deep sales.
