So, I always wanted to do the observe mode thing to see what happened, and today I finally tried it. Started in 769 and let the game run itself for 40 years.

Austrasia and France are both ruled by Nibelungings - Austrasia was held by the Merovingians for a while - while a Karling sits in Italy. Saxony is doing well, although the ruler is Norse rather than Saxon. Laigin is working on forming Ireland, and has started to move into Wales. Sápmi is large, but doesn't have a lot of troops. Curonia is doing well, Crimea has a Polish ruler, Serbia is Catholic. The Byzantines have a strong Georgia as their tributary, the Abbasids are blobby, Khazaria is large. There are several large-ish power blocs in West Africa. Sogdiana is looking interesting for a possible game... The Zunbils are still Zunist, Tibet is falling apart, and a hindu kingdom called Ayudha is eating its way across northern India.

Possibly the most competent AI I've seen.

867 start (not 769, where such blobs are more normal); a Karling formed Francia; then murder-married their way into the double empire of Bulgaria/Carpathia (also formed by AI); and they just kept expanding afterwards. HRE has not been formed(?!). Poland has been a rump state on the Frankish border for a century, somehow still independent. "Zigsaia" (Bulgaria) was popped out of Francia by a child of destiny, so the Franks were doing better a few years ago. England and Ireland are owned by the Rurikid dynasty(?!).

And going by stats and modifiers, he's probably a child of destiny as well.

Up until someone starts assassinating him and his family until some weird Abassid in India inherits Finland!
You mean the "someone" possessed by a supernatural force which compels them to complete enigmatic tasks and act against their nature to ensure the survival of their dynasty regardless of the effects on the individual?

The entity known as the Plah-yar?

Lol Panzer, this looks like a bug with maths. If 10144 men is 609,9 % of your strenght, 20973 is not 2097300 % of it xD
