Chaos: A Modded CK2 AAR About Some Immortal Guy on an Island

[StrategyGameEnthusiast]

Welcome to my second AAR. Whether you are a returning reader or you didn't read the Restoration of the Roman Empire In Just Over 50 Rulers, I hope you will stick around for this AAR. So, what is this AAR about? As the title says, it's about an immortal chieftain on the island chiefdom of Kolguyev, off the coast of Siberia. In this AAR, updates will be about years of chaos, in which our immortal chieftain will do chaotic things.

He has 3 artifacts, the Symbol of Pantokrator, which gives military buffs, the Chad Ring, which increases general opinion, and the Pendant of Luck.

769 was to be a Year of Conception. Snedgus took 36 concubines and impregnated all of them within the space of a week. In October the children, 18 sons and 18 daughters were born. Irish Hellenic people magically appeared in Kolguyev thanks to the wizard Ben.

This year is a Conquest Year. Snedgus gets claims on all territories he borders. As he is on an island, he gets claims on the coast touching the two sea tiles surrounding Kolguyev.

Snedgus declares war to conquer the High Chiefdom of Zavarot. The war is still ongoing. Snedgus had 4 more children, 3 daughters and 1 son.

 

[StrategyGameEnthusiast]

In between Chaotic Years, Snedgus finishes the conquests. Then in 775, the Chaotic Year is a Eating Year. Snedgus eats every bordering ruler. Then he declares war on their heirs for bordering territory. He eats everyone he captures in sieges. The wars end with victories for Snedgus. Snedgus has more children, now he is a father of 74.

… as is this insane list of attributes! Did you manually edit them in, or does one of the mods let you specify them? I know you don’t do screenshots, but I would like to see one of his character page.

Snedgus took 36 concubines and impregnated all of them within the space of a week.

Narrative bluster (like Kim Jong Un getting 18 holes in one the first time he played golf) or did this actually happen in game?

Snedgus eats every bordering ruler.

Like, the people, not the territory?

Snedgus has more children, now he is a father of 74.

I know the title says he’s immortal, but I’d like to see an elective gavelkind succession, where each heir gets a thimbleful of dirt!

I know that! This is going to be a short AAR (I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and I might try to start a CK3 AAR after it, so this is a placeholdaar for my boredom (stuck on chapter 5 of the novel I'm writing)).

… as is this insane list of attributes! Did you manually edit them in, or does one of the mods let you specify them? I know you don’t do screenshots, but I would like to see one of his character page.

Used the Ruler Designer (one of the mods makes all traits in the Ruler Designer free), then added immortality and beloved using the Sketchy Cheat Menu, the Cheater trait is from Just Another Cheating Mod (and is extremely overpowered, for example it auto-converts all of your provinces to your culture and religion, and it gives the special bloodline I mentioned). The Trait Softcap Exterminated mod means I can have unlimited traits. His traits have changed, cannibal + lunatic= devour prisoners and get some of their traits (and the cheater trait lets you eat non-prisoners).

Narrative bluster (like Kim Jong Un getting 18 holes in one the first time he played golf) or did this actually happen in game?

It happened in game (The tooltip mod indicates that Snedgus has about 600% fertility and the Cheater trait adds a decision when you interact with yourself called 'Deal With Your Women' which impregnates all of them).

Like, the people, not the territory?

Both.

I know the title says he’s immortal, but I’d like to see an elective gavelkind succession, where each heir gets a thimbleful of dirt!

My succession is Agnatic only, and I'm getting a pretty even split of sons and daughters, so about 37 sons would probably get a county each (minimum) with the rate I'm expanding at.

Snedgus did some more conquering in between chaotic years. 780 was a Shattering Year. All non-nomadic Kingdoms and Empires were shattered. Some notable examples include the Byzantine Empire, with the last ruler reduced to an OPM in Constantinople, Pictland, a now two province state, Middle Francia, now the same size as the Duchy of Burgundy, and the Caliphate, reduced to an area around Baghdad and Damascus. Snedgus was proud of his achievements.

In between chaotic years, Snedgus conquered a few more provinces. 785 was to be a Seduction Year. Snedgus took the seduction focus and seduced two 'recruits' who were 'recruited' for this purpose. Then, Snedgus thought of passing a law banning pants, but decided instead to ban clothes altogether. After seducing the 'recruits', Snedgus' first 36 children came of age. Snedgus took his 18 daughters as concubines. On New Year's Eve, Snedgus impregnated all 56 of his concubines.

Snedgus did all that shattering?

Snedgus did all that shattering?

Yes and no, in game Snedgus did it, but in narrative Ben is in charge of all things magical.

In between chaotic years Snedgus started to set aside the old spinsters that were his original concubines and replace them with their daughters. 790 was to be a Kingdom Unification Year. Snedgus got claims on all provinces in the de jure kingdom of Nenetsia. He declared war on chieftains to unite Nenetsia. He ate their wives and children. He kept the skull of a newborn baby after it had.. passed through him. By the end of the year, Nenetsia wasn't united yet and Snedgus now had over 200 children.

@Bullfilter that's one way of reacting to Snedgus.

Is there any other way?

You could just ignore him, he is a possessed lunatic after all (he banned clothes while living on an island in the Arctic).

Haha if I ignored him it wouldn’t leave anything to comment about! And given he goes naked in the Arctic, it’s a wonder he can get anyone pregnant. Must be one of those mods that allows him to, er, rise to the occasion.

I guess so. It's definitely the mods helping him (600% fertility means he's breaking the game's 'limits' for having children (iirc, once you have 8 children, it becomes much much less likely for the pregnancy checks to happen)). He can probably get them pregnant just by looking at them.

In between chaotic years Snedgus united the Kingdom of Nenetsia. He formed the kingdom and renamed it to Kolguyev. Snedgus continued to dismiss his spinster concubines and replace them with their daughters. One of Snedgus' 100+ sons (this one was named Crimthann) had an affair with a woman a few years younger than Snedgus who was seduced by the King once. This affair led to a son being born. Snedgus mandated that all houses had to have two holes in them. He also made turnips the national currency and melted all the gold. He did consider declaring world peace, but decided to do something else instead. 795 was to be an Eating Year. Snedgus was going to eat the entire world. However, Ben, Jeff, Pope Sergios and Fred the Unreliable formed an alliance to stop him. Ben used cloning magic to clone each member of the group 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times. Snedgus ate all the Freds. Then when he tried to eat the Pope Sergios', he choked on them. Thus Snedgus was no more. Ben and Jeff decided that the children of Snedgus would be sent to different planets in the universe and that this planet would be destroyed, as it was too far damaged by Snedgus. Ben remarked that the children would be safer in their home worlds.

Spoiler: Ben and Jeff's Home Worlds

Ben's home planet was home to many things, such as universal basic income, (actually) free education, infinite resources, magic, terrorism, a corrupt government that owns everything (the President (Ben's political archrival) wants to privatise everything and get rid of benefits) and infinite space. Jeff's home base (his species' planet is a 'factory planet' which exists only to create copies of humanoids like Jeff and Fred) is a planet like the one Snedgus was from, just quickly jumping through five periods in time (2028-2032, 2042-2044, 2055-2056, 2066-2067 and (late) 2068) and where the US President Smith and the Archdruid were fighting an alleged madman named John and his political party which was actually a cult (despite their manifesto saying they want to destroy all cults), while also being divisive figures for promoting misogyny and racism respectively

The children of Snedgus were split up, and set off on the long journey towards these other worlds.
