I was a Duke of Bavaria until My liege HRE Kaiser went to war over my claim on the throne of England when my grandmother and mother died.hmy::blink:

Since he states that the kaiser is his liege I'd guess that's direct vassal view mode, which always looks like that.
I dunno. I don't think Serbia would hold that much land directly. I think it would be above the demesne limit.
Direct vassal mode doesn't show demesne, it shows direct vassals to the leader of an independent realm, and all vassals below them. So if England for example, like above, is vassalized to the HRE, you'll only see it as one big blob.
Serbia is probably a vassal of the Byzantine emperor.
That's my son; the King of Africa. He's not very popular with his muslim neighbors, since he's catholic.
The stupid f*** declared war on me for his claim on Capua. He couldn't wait the few years I had left to live. I really wish the AI could look ahead some: he had no contenders to the titles, he just had to wait.
A few years after that screenshot and most of Italy is, once again, Catholic. Work continues with bringing the African coast to the true faith.
Funny story, I started as Count of Orvieto. First character died after 6 months. His son ruled for 64 years and brought Sicily under his heel. Changed succession law to Primogeniture the day before he died (lucky!).
My game as Sicily started in 1081. Now is 1176.
Why I choosed this date? Many people in many threats said that Byzantine in the later start date should be weak, ofc. it's not truth.
I managed to put my dynasty into Byzantine (some luck and many assasinate), Hungary (matrimonial marriage and claimants war) and now in Croatia. (just marriage, that was quite easy)
The Turks are a veritable beast, gained the caliphate, all east and had just inherited the Rum. (the same dynasty) I am really looking forward to the Mongols.
About Byzantine, well... they are still OP and should be nerf. Look at ledger.

King of Bohemia inhertied kingdom of Poland, however, Piasts became kings of Sweden.

Dont know why you say "never pagan" since being pagan is actually the hardest mode of CK
.By 1308 i think thats pretty possible, but these guys showing screenshots by 1200? I still dont buy it. There is always a couple of independent counts/dukes that you cant press your claims at, and fabricating claims / pushing someone's claim can be a tad time consuming if you want them to become your vassals.
You guys should post the list of independent states when posting screenshots like those, though.
Either way, is that really a world conquest? I would prefer calling it, a marriage fest. A true world conquest is done via mongol invasion CB, like i did.

Isnt constantinople better located? I had no issues with iceland and so on because of distance to capital when i did my wc. If i placed it somewhere in italy, i remember i had issues with either far away persian dukes or ethiopian bastards.

I married my daughter (normally) to the Khan, and his only son inherited the Golden Horde. Since i was the only family left, the inheritance passed to me after i assassinated my daughter's son, and i became the Great Khan. (this was all done right AFTER the horde spawned, so my daughter was the first Khan's wife, and the Khan had NO FAMILY at all)
Its good to be the golden horde - early on. You get countless troops (i had more than 100k men around 1200's), which are quite unbeatable and suffer no attrition. You also get periodic reinforcements after each Khan dies (around 20k-30k).
The best of it, is that you get INVASION cbs upon everyone - you can conquer anyone's realm without a claim.
I tried the same move when the timurids came, but when they did come, they were terribly weak compared to me, and i didnt feel like losing or giving land to a bunch of nomadic weaklings.
I also got the Ilkhanate's titular title - but that one was gotten diferently. One of the Khan's daughter was married to some low life, and i assassinated him. Since she was married normally, she was in a different court than his father's court, so the local ruler couldnt care less if i married her, which i obviously did. My son eventually inherited her mother's claim, and then i pushed it via war.
You also got other cheap ways of getting claims but thats what i did.

Formed Brythain as Gwynedd with this Hedonistic, lustful man. Sadly someone killed him (a day before he died I was informed my wife had a plot to kill me, it seems she succeeded). I will admit to tag switching to take Devon (part of Cornwall), but in my defence, I had 50% warscore, and England was already up to it's knees in Norwegian troops. And even with the French assisting them, the English refused to siege those provinces back (and Norway was holding out very well). But I already had all the provinces I needed to form Brythain before I attacked Devon.
I'd love to see some progress on how you achieved that WQ. Like, a pic each 10 years with major notes on events during that time
Tips & strategy notes also welcome.
Also... did you, by any chance, got inspired or are author of "The Big Red Hand" AAR in EU3?

I got the Shia Caliphate, Golden Horde, and Timurids the second way, didn't know about the first. I would've figured that the title would just pass to a random vassal/courtier.
Having played for 210 years now, and this is how HRE looks under Sieghard I's rule, next step is conquering France and after that will try to take England.
Wow to the guy who made WC in such little time. I've got no idea how you made it, but congratz.
Here's my "empire". I'm king of: Ireland, Scotland, Brythain, Norway, Sweden & England. I've also got possessions in France as you can see by the green stains. Also you can see with the other green, the muslims are pressing France hardly and rarely enough, France is not thriving as it usually does. It's 1336, and I'm Ua Briairc dynasty and began as a little count in the middle of Ireland.
The brown stain in Scandinavia is a rebel duke I'm fighting right now. Finally, I'm married to a claimant to the duchy of York, so expect my heir to press for it. After that I'm aiming for France, though it's gonna be difficult and after that I don't know if I'll have enough time but probably trying to kick the muslims ass as much as I can till 1453.

I thought murchad I born in 1027 how he still alive
You can see my fragmented France here. Inherited Navarra and Leon through marriage. Aragon through conquest. You can see the results of Crusades in Galilee and Gaza. A couple of counties there were inherited by my vassals.
