But is it weird that the boys father is still alive and ruling another Kingdom and he the boy is in control of the Byzantine empire while is father never once ruled it ?. Which means something happened with the succession in order to make the boy take the throne

the Seljuk circumstance is weird lol, but the succession probably isn't . the father married Emperor's daughter , Emperor didn't have sons at time of succession, so Heir is the first son born to a daughter, with oldest daughter taking precedence. Whats strange is that he's Christian. Still whole situation does qualify for Stange Screenshots allright :)

Croatian culture uber alles!½
 
Hehe, true! The Welsh situation though.

Welsh expansion often happens, if you start in TOG. Even better - in my Great Moravia game Britain was culturally divided between the Irish in the norh, the Welsh in the west and a mix of Norse, Normans and Anglo-Saxons in the south - but then the Spanish attacked.

And the plot thickens, So It appears that the boys mother, The princess of the Ere was not the oldest daugther of the previous emperor, No she was the youngest of the former emperor children and it appears that her older sister only produced a female heir and thus when she had a son it went to him. But what is strange is that he would have to be elected to the position because the Succession law for the Eastern Roman empire is Elective. but another strange thing is that most of the dukes in the realm are Orthodox. So how did this 5 year old kid get elected to the throne when his father is ruling another kingdom ?.

also it turns out the previous emperor was Homosexual and that his son died suspiciously and after that he only had daughters, In which the current emperor mother is insane. This is very interesting I will see what happens.
 
Makes still no sense because that's not what this line in the anthem means - at all.
Plain idiocy then? That's what it sounds to me like.

Österreich Uber Allies is an often-used trope in Polandball. If you aren't aware of what Polandballs are, check the OT forum for some gems.

In other news, I got the nightmare scenario in a recent HIP game just 4 years in. Weird thing is that the person who rules France was never an HRE subject until after he took the kingdom.

Ugh... some shenanigans with the Flemish second-gen duke having claims on France after the original one's wife dies(she had an inheritable weak claim) and Flanders getting inherited into the HRE via Hainaut then getting claim pushed by the bloody Salian?
 
Too much wincest?
 

Sultan 1: Don't worry, my friend, I'll send you an army under the Satrap for protection against the infidels!
Sultan 2: The Satrap? That vile opportunist attacking the other side of my realm as we are speaking?
Sultain 1: There only is one Satrap in Baluchistan, so yes. Get along with each other already, you two!


I know the AI can be stubborn, but this guy took it to a new level for me. At 90% with the wargoal and his capital occupied and no army, he still said "I'm winning the war", only went over to "the war's indecisive" after that.


Never seen a character who was such a prick without even being possessed. Wow.


Soldier: My prince, we need to get on the boats to get to Asturias!
Prince: What boats, can't see any.
Soldier: Just follow me, my liege...
Prince: Can't walk, either.

Really, why was he even adventuring?
 
He's Homosexual, what's weird? :p
