Conquered the whole world as Semien.
As always, the first part was the most difficult, including having to win a war against my liege when he tried to imprison me.
Then I got a lucky break early, when I was fabricating a claim on neighboring Blemmiya that turned into a claim on the whole kingdom, shortly before they attacked my liege-- so I joined the war, raised my armies, attacked Blemmiya from behind (grinding down their numbers), left the war and disbanded my armies, started a war for the Kingdom claim, re-raised my armies, and invaded their capital and territories before their war with my liege could be resolved. Once I had Blemiyya, it was only a matter of time before I defeated my former liege in Abyssinia.
Broke up the Abbasids with assassinations and reclaimed Jerusalem.
The next major project was the Mongols. An invited claimant had a claim on recently conquered Oghuz-Il. I won that war, and found Temujin's granddaughter my new vassal. I converted her and had her marry my heir. Decades later, I warred for her son's claims and he received an intact, entire Mongolian Empire (Including what had once been the Byzantine Empire), skipping the Mongol breakup event. Then he died and left everything to my player heir, his half-brother.
Won some crusades, ate the Pope, dismantled the Papacy.
Holy War for East Francia/Germany, then installed a puppet onto the HRE throne who was forced to vote me as his successor.
From there, I had so much Piety I could basically annex everything I wanted, county-by-county, installing loyal members of my dynasty.

Not as impressive as it looks, since having an immortal witch-empress with demon women at arms (from the sappho's daughter 2 mod) makes things pretty easy. I had a lot of fun though making everyone lesbians and killing just innumerable numbers of people.
got totally locked out of the Iberian struggle though, can't take Iberian foothold decision since it's stuck in compromise phase with no one involved, my culture and religion aren't involved despite being the only ones present, and I don't want to move my capital because I don't think I can move it back after, and I'm afraid even that wouldn't make me involved.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well - despite your culture not being involved
Reminds me back when I restored the Roman Empire as immortal Succubus with a mod from the site I can't mention here.
And yes, as far as I know you can only move your capital once in a lifetime, so with an immortal character you can't move it back.

Idk about the first one but this one is on steam, you can look it up on the workshop.

My mentioned Succubus is from there - albeit I don't mention the site directly as I got scolded for it by mods years back when I did.
No clue if "the site I can't mention here" now is free to mention.
Anyways, currently reinstalling CK III and I may look into "Sappho's Daughters 2", as playing as a lesbian immortal demon seems quite appealing to my inner weeb side!

I will give you a heads up, either play deliberately more conservatively, or turn up the rate of disease a lot. The game really isn't built to have tons of immortal characters running around, I have 10,000 living members of my dynasty which I can't imagine is helping with the lag.
Anyways, I did manage to properly complete the one faith, one culture so I'll edit those screenshots in later.

Oh, I'm not the type of world conquest player. Back then restoring Rome in it's full glory is as big as I ever went.
Anyways, managed to reform Asatru now into a lesbian (and pain loving, sacrificing humans while being naked) heaven religion!
My char is already 40... welp, Liliths Lust gives me longer life expectancy and fertility. Also I'm nearing the spell to conceive a child with a woman. I will see, though I belief I don't go for immortality with my current char and rather will take the future daughter/heir body over.
Otherwise, yeah, that mod cerntainly satisfies my inner weeb!
short to midterm goals for now will be:
- negotiate the danelaw as I still have the option for it
- testing out all the spell mechanics
- slowly take over the british isles
- have fun as I didn't had with CK III in a long time!
On a sidenote:
The Succubus mod I mentioned is a bit old and lacks those flavor things sappho has. Though someone in the thread for this mod updated it a bit and also expanded the mod. I will watch if the succubus mod ever grows to sapphos size - or if it stays small scale.
Edit:
I forgot to ask - why is Lilith shown as a marriage candidate before I summon her!!!???

Sorry for the double post - but how did you deal with Adams Reincarnation???
Maybe I summoned Lilith too early?
Maybe I'm too slow of a player?
Anyways, the pope is Adams reincarnation and sits on 89.000 troops while I write this...
Holy hell, seems like I need every soul I harvest to summon demon troops to get him? As he is protected against abduction scheme...
But not using souls to turn every women in my kingdom into a lesser succubi cause they are (very) pleasent to look at with a fully naked religion... is very hard!
Also thx for highlighting this mod - it's like someone asked:
"Ali, how many of your 'weeb boxes' you wanna have checked?"
And I just replied:
"YES!"
Now, aside from the problem with overpowered Adam... time to figure out how to play this mod effectively with only one free hand!

I think the Pope is set to only become Adams incarnation after you summon Lilith, but even if you don't he gets special event troops constantly. I beat him partially by just expanding non stop and partially by channeling my inner Lord farquad and throwing bodies into the grinder. If you can get the demon troops from the Lilith dynasty perks those are also obscenely effective.

Low about of money for an empire that rules the world.
Then my Roman empire did it better.
Started as Matilda di Canossa, wanted to just rush unifying Italia, though stretched goaled into getting the Roman empire, then into getting Lingua Franca achievement.
Wasn't without complications though.
For starters my Liege the Holy Roman emperor became Cathar and the AI managed to muck up so much to install a woman on the throne.
The pope declared a great holy war for the kingdom of Romagna, managed to get my independence just in time to get out of that GHW target.
Though it meant getting the land off of the pope was more difficult, him getting stronger.
Matilda died just before she could unify Italia properly, then her daughter and heir needed to slap down several rebellions, before finally doing it.
Also managed to spread my religion to everyone, already posted that in another thread, but I'll post it again.
Also managed to get all Dynasty legacies except those from Iberia, I prepped my heir for it but I don't think she gets to take over before the game ends. XD

Did not realise that being religious head without communion is heavily screwing your gold income if i had followed a temporal head of faith religion it would have been richest beyond belief indeed

My religion doesn't have any head of faith or communion.

I wanted to share this picture. This is what you're supposed to do while starting as Bjorn af Munso, conquering Sweding and reforming your Pagan religion, right?
