Ck II AAR - von Urach's chronicles

[Valnir]

This AAR will be on a highly modded 3.1.1

Introduction: It was the first day of 1125, and while the Holy Roman Empire was in a relatively peaceful period, most grafs and herizogos were starting their plotting and wars, be it to end with their rivals, increase their demesne or maybe even to become the next emperors.
One of those lords was Egino von Urach, the graf of Teck, despite having no great ambition, started the increase of power of which would eventually become one of the greatest houses in european history.

von Urach's Chronicles:
Chapter 1:Introduction to the court
Egino III von Urach, named after his father, was the count of Teck. Altough he was a cruel and wroth man, he wasn't hated as his diplomatic capabilities were good enough to make not many people knowledgeable about his true self. While not the most beloved, he was someone very gregarious. Unlike many other nobles, he wasn't someone who liked seducing many women, and his chastity was known by many.

His family was only comprised of his two siblings, Udalhild, and Gebhard. She was a lustful woman, whose arbitrariness was one of her characteristic traits. But she wasn't only defects, as she was an erudite and one of the best administrators of the entire empire. She had developed an unique kind of bravery trough her escapades to have "special nights" with young courtiers. She had only one daughter, which was already married and belonged to the Hohenzollern dynasty. Udalhild didn't had the best opinion of her brother, because she felt Egino shouldn't be the ruler, as he was born only five years before Egino II, father of both, died.

Gebhard, unlike her sister, had a good opinion of the ruler of Teck. He had one of the greatest diplomatic minds of the entire world. His diligence made his training in those skills have even better results. He was also known to be a generous man. However, he was seriously frightened by lots of things, and his administrative and martial skills were incredibly poor. Another problem he had, is that despite his diplomatic expertise, he wasn't someone with many friends, as Gebhard was rather boring.

There where other many members of the council but none of them was of noble origin, with the exception of Lutwig fon Bati, a young landless man who joined the court as spymaster.

Egino was also a member of the imperial court of the empire, in which members would try to increase their influence in the empire, the strength of it, or maybe other more uncommon goals. Egino wasn't overly ambitious, but he obviously wanted to increase his influence, so he joined.

Welp, that's it for the first chapter (which was mainly introduction)
I accept suggestions about improving my writing, as I'm not an english speaker and I may've made many mistakes during the chapter

This sounds intresting and also thanks for listing your mods!. Since I also play with HIP I saw one that caught my eye ( MTA specific punishments)

 

[stnylan]

Interesting use of the Society mechanic.

 

[Silverio90]

I hope Egino will become the favourite of the Keisur... otherwise he could commit suicide yet. Gebhard seems a ruler more capable than him.

 

[Valnir]

For mod incompatibility reasons, I had to remove les trois tours. So I had to start in a new save, but as I had just started, it won't change anything but the names and stats of council members (who were landless, so weren't that important)

 

[stnylan]

No worries

 

[Valnir]

Next weekend comes next chapter

 

[Valnir]

I would be writing the second chapter


If I had no daily blackouts recently. I'm having one a day approximately, so I prefer to use the PC as little as possible.

 

[Valnir]

So My pc did kaboom, and with it the save went to the trash. Now I recovered my pc, but the disk where everything was saved stopped working ;-;
