I was bored today, so I made a little snippet of a program to go through CK saves and count things. In the latest save I've got, from 1339, there are

  • 556 living Yngling males, with 100 titles between them.
  • 492 de Flandres, with 63 titles.
  • 151 de Normandies, with 41 titles. (Dom, aren't you taking your vitamins?)
  • 353 Piasts, with a whopping 91 titles!
  • 394 de Hautevilles, with 68 titles.
  • 632 (!) Jimenez scions, with 99 titles. Maybe we should watch out for those lusty Iberians!

I think from a purely dynastic point of view, the Ynglings and Jimenezes are winning - more of the Jimenez family, but fewer titles per man. (Admittedly, Yngling titles tend to be the likes of Count of Outer Farawaycoldistan.) I don't remember the dynasty names of the Byzantine, French, Jerusalemite, and Hungarian dynasties, but I'll look them up if you tell me. Better still, Trav, how about putting up the latest save so I can look at that? I'd also like to know how Norway is doing.
 
Jerusalems king is a Piast and soon will be a persian...if I have time. Yeah I really want to see the new map and check out a few other things.
 
What? Has the Jerusalem line changed from de Monreal back to Piast?

And I always suspected that the Jiminez-family was big, but this big? Never.

On the bright(?) side, I am getting sick, and thus it will be not so good if I go out with the scouts this weekend, and thus will be able to play this session.
 
Somehow the Jiminez family has infiltrated England, there's probably 3 or 4 dozen of them spread throughout the country...
 
Well Dom, you obviously need an Inquisition. And you also need to declare a bounty for each de Normandie male born; this lack of population is going to hurt you badly when you reach Vicky. :D
 
Well KOM, you've given me new motivation to go regicide-crazy.
 
Kill my Ynglings and die! And please note, there are more Ynglings than Piasts. I can trade one-for-one for quite some time.
 
Ahem. There are two player Piast kings by the way. Besides thats mean. Hey I think I might be able to get a freind or two to play and maybe even my girlfriend. Heh but she would suck. So would my friends for that matter. So do I even but what ever. Its a killer fun game anyways especially with other people playing that talk. Still waiting on the new map...
 
Weekly Game Update


We played at Slow for most of the game with 7 players. We played from September 19 1340 to December 6 1346. Newest game MAP is up. I’ve purged and zipped the most recent game save which can be downloaded from here.

The players this session:
  • Traveler - King of Italy
  • Prime - King of Burgundy
  • Ear - King of Hungary
  • cheech - King of France
  • Blackeye - Emperor of Byzantium
  • Sterk - King of Poland

New Player
  • Cyrus - King of Jerusalem

We had 4 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop:
  • Stopped to p/u Sterk
  • Prime CTD, not sure why
  • Sterk CTD, not sure why
  • Reached posted end time, we stopped here.

We welcomed a new player and suffered through more plague ridden years. Here’s to reaching the end of the plague. If there is one message I would like everyone, that includes me, to think about after this last session is “role-play”.

Open realms:
  • Kingdom of Bohemia
  • Rus

Hi Joohoo, haven't we seen you before? Anyway, welcome. I think the only open realm that isn't within some player's acknowledged sphere of interest would be Bohemia; now, King Josiah does have a prior claim on that, but it seems he could not fix his router problems, unfortunately. The other possibility is that you play a Duke in, say, Hungary's (or Spain's) Middle Eastern lands, and perhaps try to gain the King title for that region from your liege lord. You might find it a tough struggle, though, and wouldn't really have a lot of time to build up your realm. Bohemia at least starts out independent.

Finally, I guess there's Cuman, since Ear was forced to give it up. But it seems Sterk has been eating it. Or again, you could play a Russian Duke and hope that the major Powers want to force Poland to give up the Russian crown. Again, though, this would be an uphill struggle at best; although Norway would certainly support the creation of an independent Russia, while we are considerably less (although not zero) interested in Basra or Iraq.
 
Welcome, Joohoo, hopefully you can start this weekend?

Well, there is the possibility of you getting a duchy in a rather large realm such as Spain or, less desirably, Poland. I wish I had a (formidable) Russian opponent earlier on, but this late in the game it is a deathblow to have half of my realm taken away.

On that note, I'd like to point out that Spain IS much larger and more powerful than Poland. A duchy there would have far more promise in terms of power.
 
Hey, there's a new patch out, which apparently fixes the area bug! Let's all dl it before Saturday.

Sterk, have you considered that you are actually way stronger than any of your neighbours (me, Ear, Bohemia) and also stronger than any two of those three? I grant you, you might be in trouble fighting Spain or Italy, but why should you have to? You have no border with either. And I think one-on-one you could defeat anyone else on the map, with the possible exception of Burgundy. Who, again, have no conflicts of interest with you, except maybe disagreements on how to carve up Norway. :D
 
Im totally not getting EU2 of course I only played for like 10 mins before work and a few minutes right now, but I have a headache so im goining to stop playing games for awhile. It looks pretty cool though cant wait to really get into it. Also cant wait to play saturday. I was going to stay the night at my girls house untill I remebered that I had to play saturday morning so shes staying here.

Yes I have been here but I think I was never available to join and I had a EU2 at the same time too :(

I am up for anything, Kingdom or Duchy. It was a long time since I played CK last and a duchy could perhaps be best.

Edit: I must have missed that your game goes on Saturdays now. It was on Sundays before right? Well I think it is not a problem anyway.

Thx I will do that.
Btw how long time is the session?
 
Usually about 4 hours.
 
Gentlemen, let me reiterate my earlier suggestion that each of us download the new patch from here. Area bug fix!
