I can't help but wonder how it is like to be a lustful celibate.

Admittedly, in nearly 2K hours of CK2 gameplay, I have never started a game as a Mongol. In fact, this screenshot is not from a Mongol game start either. However, in all my years of CK2 gameplay, I don't recall seeing a Mongol with this helmet on, and with this spectacularly groomed beard. This is almost like you'd expect Jack Black to look in his younger days, if he went Mongol instead of Nacho Libre.

So I present to you - Igor the Groomed Mongol. Is that irony?

btw, I'm now inspired to start a game as a Mongol, just to always have my main character "Groom an heir" and make an entire army of groomed Mongols.

Some Revisionist history in the making - you see, back in 786 AD, there was already a search for WMDs in Iraq. Hopefully my Spymaster finds some evidence of Yellowcake, and I'm not talking about dessert. ;)

Being a kind impaler is an interesting combination.

And she's temperate, so she rations her impaling sessions to only once every 2 weeks, and she's very trusting that you'll still be in the dungeon the next time she visits the prisoners.

With those traits, perhaps she allows the use of a safe word?

"The Lone Pikeman" - I activated a vassal's Levy and was provided a Lone Pikeman. There's something oddly refreshing about seeing a single Bodpa Buddhist Pikeman (just try and say "Bodpa Buddhist Pikeman" 3 times fast). So I think I will look at this guy like the Bodpa's version of Forrest Gump, and will run him all the way to the Western Protectorate (which is on the Eastern edge of the map, which is ironic in itself) -- then I will run him all the way to the Brittany Coast in Europe, and when he gets there, I will run him back again to the Western Protectorate. He has a land-based Shrimp farm and splits the profits with a war-buddy's family. I'm searching for a Noble who is missing both legs to try and ally with.

As if The Lone Pikeman was not satisfied with my accolades in the prior post -- he went and actually did a Forrest Gump maneuver beyond my expectations. With his sprinting skills and bravery to "Seize the Day" - he single-handedly arrived before any other army on-site to continue a siege, while my main army had to deal with an intruding (and competing) army to my south.

Showing leadership prowess, The Lone Pikeman controls the entire Siege by himself (note my yellow-and-white County colors in control of the ongoing siege), and then look at the pop-up details of the Army to see that - an allied army of 2,739 men were willing to submit themselves and attach their entire army under the command of The Lone Pikeman who was faster than all others to arrive and resume the siege.
