Let's petition for a "Pretty borders CB" :D
Byzantium always seem to focus on expanding, while completely ignoring Muslim blobs that are just around the corner.

Forming Scandinavia should be hard for a player. But it seems that even AI can do it easily. In my recent game, I held 90% of de-jure Scandinavia before Ragnar Lothbrok came of age. And it's not very hard to do it. After several wars you easily form Sweden. Then you just ask nearby rulers to become your vassals. Only real threat that remains is Denmark. Still, you can beat them in less than a year. When I subjugated Denmark, every nearby Germanic realm (except Saxony) joined me. What can I do with Ragnar Lothbrok now? Pillage England perhaps? Nah....My army can freely loot Constantinople now. Byzantines cannot find a challenge for my army.
And according to that picture above, AI has no problems either to form a super Viking blob.
 
So here I am charlemangeing HRE formed and I look at the map and... I don't even know how I got that territory XD

AI Saxony always goes to conquer/subjugate that one province, because its weak and a holy site, instead of, y'know, doing something more useful

1066 is not broken!
 
Hes listed as an antipope. I dont get it

Its a common bug, the children of the Pope get minor claims on the Papacy. But everyone with a claim on the papacy is an antipope. As that's how the antipapal system works. So claim =/= Antipope. So he's an antipope. YOu could press his claim and have a child pope!
 
My marshal died on 26 September, 965. Then, 3 days later, I got his message for me from Heaven:

Now we know what heaven is called



First time I see this one. To think this was the pope that called the first crusade in my game...

I think it always happens after you have a wicked priest pope which is fun
 
So this appeared on my Crimea/Khazaria let's play after I told my courtier I would not appoint her choice of chief qadi. I am currently playing as Khan Kahn.

Why am I wating with bated breath to ponder choosing myself for a position I appoint?

Then I looked over to Western Europe to find a mess of blobs and looked for Charlemagne's family to find this out about him.

...What's with the Umayyad's CoA there?
 
Today I learned that you don't have to be Christian to form Jerusalem. Being the leader of victorious Shia Uprising is enough.

It's 2.1.6, so I don't know if that's been fixed in 2.2.
