Thanks for the aar, was fun while it lasted
Btw, what happened? Has Skulltaker won and executed everyone en masse?
Arthoris killed the Skull-Taker in a plot with the help of Black Braxos (who also becomes his father-in-law), thus making his dad the new ruler of the region.
This leads to the revolt continuing, except against the Lekares.
Now this might sound cool, but then the revolt is crushed within a month, Gregorios dies the following month killed by a random monk in an event and all the sisters abandon court (even when I consol command them back, they still left a month later).
So what about the brothers? Well, with the exception of Demetrios, they all have their lands (with Benarion being a big duke level noble). Sounds great for a setup. You have Plinios wanting to recover the lands held by his brothers, Arthoris posed to become the new leader of the Skull-Taker weird blood cult through his connexions (he converted to the religion through his wife), Benarion looking like King maker, and Cornelia living with her other kids ploting to regain her power through them.
But then when Plinios made his move and tried they revoke titles, THEY ALL JUST ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN! EVERY FUCKING TIME! His brothers just accept to lose their lands, leave the story, refuse to come back nad Plinios sit around waiting for the northern invaders a few years down the line.
Ok, so that's boring. What about hum... The revolts starting first. Plinios always won in months, EVERY FUCKING TIME! EVEN WHEN HE SHOULDN'T! I control Plinios? The AI is too dumb to win. I play the rebels? Well now the AI is Napoleon pulling impossible wins. 90% of the realm rebel in one big revolt? Random bigger neighbor attacks us, destroy my army and Plinios swoop in with his meager force to crush it. Llinios couldnt lose for some reason! So by the end of the fourth year of the story, we only had one pf tue characters still around, which really made it difficult to write a compelling family drama between evil siblings.
