The Obligatory CK2 Strange Screenshot Thread

[Blitzzer]

Knights of the old republic?

The Empire Struck Back when the knights lost the duchy of Jerusalem. The pope called the 2nd crusade and the HRE swooped in. The knights have managed to hold onto the duchy of Ascalon though, and have since expanded inland and even managed to take cities from rebelling vassals of the ERE. Not to mention the free baronies they get in de jure Jerusalem thanks to events. Abstergo Industries indeed

You won a crusade and gave it to the knights templar didn't you? They turn into republics when players that are republics hand them land

Ever had Princesses of Rebels to marry? I married my heir to one of them, resulting in these strange screenshots:



OK... so the father of her is a swedish ghost of an emperor? Has she any other relatives?



Arnbjörn isn't her father? And what about the other unknown emperors? Too ugly to show their portrait? Some spies, everywhere and nowhere? Ghosts?



Ah... She's a legitimized bastard. A ghost like Arnbjörn couldn't marry her mother, but acknowledge her in some way. The best part is she has a claim on Rebels!
Sadly, I can't press her claim... Wouldn't a titular Empire of Rebels ruling over eastern Europe be something?

House of Rebels indeed. Sadly, it's not usurpable, since it'll give you a game over.

AUGUSTO
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN TO MAH SUCCESSION
STAHP

The first child is a bastard. All others are born in the purple ... girls. Who happen to be the next in line for Byzantium-Hungary. Well, my succession law is Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture, so after Augusto here comes his ill-bred brother and his many ill-bred sons ... I am half tempted to use allow_laws to change all my titles to absolute cognatic.

Damn, I wanted to try TPATT but it looks like republics are still overpowered in this mod. I am sick of seeing this happening every single time.

 

[Sarenarass]

Uhm, since when is my sister my liege? I don't even have a liege... I don't even... what

Not really. Venice sat around doing nothing for three hundred years until I conquered her, Genoa sat around doing nothing but trading until I conquered her, and Pisa stopped being a republic when I conquered Pisa a century ago and it moved inland.

Trying to still get into this game, just playing as a muslim in the Fatimid Sultanate, waiting for the crusade.

Pope declares crusade on the Holy Roman Emperor


Fraticelli emperor?

Mwuhahaha... Lazaros is sneaky. As is Raphail. I wonder how Gabriel managed to mistake him for... himself.

I think the Lazaros thing happened when I destroyed the title for the duchy his plot was aiming to reassign, actually.

I've never seen a rebel princess, but I have noticed that sometimes the rebel coat of arms has an imperial crown. Can they actually take land? I've never seen it actually happen.

Oh, I thought it was the usual Pisan republic owning all of North Africa. Anyway, here's an old random strange screenshot:

Alright, here are mine:

Poor count of the Faereyar, never taken seriously. Not by the count of Orkney, and certainly not by the guy who first came up with that adjective.

Party hard, kid.

Ah truly, that nondescript army sure caused a lot of trouble.

Gender issues, pt. 1

Gender issues, pt. 2

"I don't have an ugly ginger beard, I'm automatically ahead of you!"

Galicia can into desert counties?

Strange dynasty names, pt. 1

Strange dynasty names, pt. 2 I swear I thought I also had a picture of a guy called Leopold von Horde, but I can't find that one.

Persia was really fragmented when these guys arrived. Thank God the Il-Khanate came along to sort matters out!

Thank all possible Gods this guy has become Incapable. He truly would have been the Stallion that Mounts the World

Not so much strange as badass.

This one is really weird. It all happened when the Papacy was reduced to a single bishopric somewhere on the Pomeranian Baltic coast. So, the first pope there (the grandfather in this picture) begets a bastard on a courtier. All fine, no problems, until it turns out the bastard is a boy! Somehow, that bastard inherits the Papacy, doing the exact same trick, but sadly this time the bastard is a girl instead of a boy. If it were a boy, this would have been the beginning of a glorious primogeniture Papacy! Oh yeah, and on top of all that she's a dwarf.

Caliph Malik III didn't like himself.

Venetian back-country, caves, hermits, in the 15th century. Suuuuure...

This is awesome. Look at that attrition limit! I wish this happened on an inland province, it might have been zero!

It worked!


I'm not going to say I love you guys, that would be taking it too far. Gentle smooches, though, are appropriate here. Thank you very much and enjoy the pictures.

I'm a devout Catholic, but even I chuckled at the image of a female dwarf in the Papal tiara.

Obviously a Premascine vampire.
