Yeah that kinslayer trait was no good :eek:
I had problem with getting sons and when I got one, he sucked, one in stew...
But I got a better son after that, he deserved the heir so off my first son go.
 
Why do you kill sons anyway?
Now if something happens with your second son, you're in deep trouble, buddy.
You'd better set SemiS consag, give the desired heir a county and voila, he's first on the line.
IMO killing a heir is always a bad idea if you don't have 5 other family members waiting in line to inherit.

Killing family is always a bad idea IMO :) Kinslayer is perhaps the nastiest trait available, *especially* if you have some BB to handle (the usual escape aka "give titles to family-members" is *not* an option then :p ).

I know I know, please, I already have a county that declared on me. Done is done, I will handle it :)
So, which county will you save for your heir so that you can start from scratch again? ;) :p
 
Great first session, I think I'm going to really like CK MP. :D

Franconia is growing slowly, almost as slowly as Tunis :p The reason is the same I think, the player was absent and the AI was a bit slow to get things going.

Hey I was there the whole time, not my fault I'm slow. :p
And Leto gave a good reason for my slow start, with the powerful Saxony to the north and Bavaria constantly breathing down my neck. Stupid Bavarians even declared war on me when I marched on the Duke of Thuringia, though I quickly managed to sue for a white peace with the Bavs after smacking them around a bit.
But basically my problem is that I'm generally not a warmonger, I'm always more interested in the dynastic side (to give a poor example: me paying Joohoo (Milan) 300 gold for his eldest daughter's hand :D ) But now I might adopt a little more aggressive stance against my neighbors (this is you, AI count of Baden ;) ) so I can eventually develop a mini-vassal realm where my "heir at the moment" can rule.

@Sterk: I don't want to bitch about it, but if you happen to read this, where's my gold????? :p ;)

Bah, if I did that then Sterk would promptly DOW me and annex me within 10 minutes. :eek:o

Cmon give yourself some support it would probably take more like 15-20 mins.

Also good thing for me I have the next two sundays off. Frigin sweet! haha.

And I dont know what you mean by BB I thought my rep was perfect and I also have 300+ Piety with another bishop soon otw.

Whats Evol. Should I be preparing for land grab threw assiantion after 1 session? Or an attempt to destroy a non-existant empire?

Yeah. You're all the way in the middle of Germany. Travel time will take a while. :D

Isn't Cyrus in Persia?

Yes. But Kujy was the one fearing Sterk.
 
I think he ment it would take time for sterks troops to get to germany before he could annex it hence the reason for the extra 5-10 minutes.
 
Why do you give money to person who does not repay, even when he has loads of it (he had the estates event soon after you gave the loan)?
One who did that might be responsible for a superpower emerging in the Mediterranean (neither me nor, Jarkko and Johoo are not feeling very safe I guess), unless it was his aim..
 
You might notice Kujy is safly removed from the med. ;)

I didn't say you have BB troubles now, I said you need BB management in the future (if I understand your plans right).

Btw, Sterk is not that hard to stop. Just avoid his initial rush and you are safe and clear. Sterk has a very intimidating style, he goes for the throat immediatly. Let time work for you and choose the time and place you want to fight in. Usually Sterk has good siege weapons so he takes forts down fast, but he doesn't in my experience generally believe in reserves :)

DAMN YOU! :p

Well, I normally don't use reserves, but I tried in my recent war in March Through Time (which failed because of the rehost bug which sent all of my armies' morales into the tank and also the fact that two kings died within two months during the war, leaving me with a stewardship king instead of a martial king). The temptation to send all my troops into crucial points is very tough to resist though. I did manage to save my nation through reserves and fought for a white peace.
