In the Old Gods start date they are like Christian Abassids: A huge dynasty and a nigh impenetrable dynastic realm, even if it consists of multiple independent rulers - they still always fight together

It says the same thing in both Orthodox and Catholic Bibles. As I said before, the Bible was compiled before the split. And no, John is not the only book to have been written by an Apostle: Matthew was written by the Apostle Matthew, and Peter had written a couple epistles towards the end of the New Testament.

The split between East and West was not as simple as the Pope just "Ragequitting" as the West had already developed plenty of differences to the Eastern Church which caused more friction between them. It wasn't just about Papal Supremacy.
And youre assuming they never changed the bible after that?

I KNOW that they never did. Orthodox and Catholic Bibles are the same outside of including the Book of Revelation in the Orthodox ones.

The difference between Orthodox and Catholics are not in their Scripture, but in INTERPRETATION of the Scripture. Honestly, it's really ridiculous that you're debating this even though you clearly have no evidence or historical knowledge based in fact to help your point. If anyone's assuming, it's you.

They're in diffrent languages and it's impossible to make a perfect translation, and even then how things are read changes over time. Word come to mean diffrent things.

And to the ones above Matthew the evangelist is not matthew the apostle, matthew the evangelist is the boy whom the apostles went looking for to invite jesus in for the last supper. It's true he's the only other Gospelist who actually met jesus, but unlike John he was not a apostle himself. He traveled with Peter which is perhaps why he thinks peter is tbe best thing since sliced bread.

Try fighting one and watch as all of them band together against them, Plus their dynastic prestige makes them irresistible to female rulers, meaning more Karlings on foreign thrones
I have, the reality of fighting the Karlings in Old Gods start is fairly easy, just wait until the inevitable infighting between one of the many kings and then descend upon the injured beasts like a wolf watching for the weakest elk.
Actually I think the Karling ideas are vastly superior to the Roman ones. The Roman ideas are pretty mediocre.
There is one thing you can look forward to with the Roman Ideas, you will never have a lack of money, and a surefire route to world domination. That sexy tax increase along with the boost to production, yeah you are good to be rich the most of the game. Although I agree, if you are playing as Rome in EU4 you would expect there to be some outrageously powerful NIs

Most of all I find the +force limit and manpower parts to be a bit redundant. If you're exporting a Roman Empire you're almost certainly already a huge blob. And only 5% more discipline, as if some puny Samurai could match the Legions! :)

Well the big diffrence if you ask me is that carlings get -5 idea costs and -5 tech costs while rome gets -20 stability costs. I dare say the former is goign to win out quite massivly.

Huh? Is this Europa Universalis: Crusader Kings?

They're referring to a CK2 game imported into EU4 (where the Karlings and the Roman Empire, if they exist, get their own unique ideas, as do several other nations that didn't historically make it to 1444).

So this guy doesn't have an heir. At all. And his coat of arms doesn't appear on the map either (I checked the whole of africa and it was nowhere to be found).
I'd try to assassinate him to see what happens once he dies, but I'm out of reach at the moment.

Sadly, it'll just generate another same-culture/religion ruler and throw them on the throne, or one of the people in his court if there are any. Although just to make forum-goers mad, someone should form a mod where if a person dies without a legitimate heir, it generates a culture-appropriate Karling and seats them instead.

Just make them all frankish and they'll have africa converted in no time.
 
Ah, thank you.

I would pay good money for a mod like that.
For ck2 or eu4? Because EU4 is moving in that direction with it's latest dlcs.
 
I have only 1 question.
What the fuck?!

... Huh. When was he castrated?
About 20 years earlier. That "Varangian" event chain, or whatever it's called fired, I sent him there, and he returned blinded and castrated.

It would seem none other than the Wanderer has shared his blessings of fertility on Halfdan. Perhaps he was taken by the devotion Halfdan had for gaining wisdom in the well of the Basileus?
