It's a reference to Caligula wanting to appoint his favourite horse as either a Senator or Consul. Interestingly, some historians now seem to think that instead of being a sign of insanity, it was meant to be a shot at the Senate in the vein of, "Your job is so simple, even a horse could do it!"
So now Caligula is only insane because of all the other stuff...
Of which most sources are dubious at best. Spreading rumours of insanity, incest and general debauchery was a common occurrence with unpopular and weak rulers.
I'd say Caligula was a cynical sociopath or or just plain ultra-cynical, not an insane lunatic
Well, I would hope not!
And so ended the merchant republic of Genoa. (I conquered their capital in a Holy war, as they remained Catholic after I mended the Great Schism, and the capitol was relocated to an inland province. All their trade posts went up in smoke.)
Shortest war ever.
And so brother fought against brother.
Could someone explain what happened here to me? (Also, on Konstantios's card, he has the title for the Kingdom of Hungary, not any Republic variant, though there are Hungary-owned trade posts on my trade post mapmode.)
1. Patricians that aren't the Doge get the title of their highest Feudal/Merchant Title, based on what type the capital holding is. So, his capital must be a barony. His house, for some reason, is still considered part of the Venetian republic, but he's of equal title to the Serene Doge, so another republic was created with him still being eligible for Venice. Republican spouse titles can be funky, so that's why his wife is King.
Ah, thanks. He had usurped his way into becoming the Despot, so Hungary becoming a republic (in all but name, apparently) didn't really confuse me, but his wife being a king did. Maybe they'll fix that in 1.10, along with the title's name staying the same?
Still, I ended up with a second king level vassal republic, so I'm not complaining.
Anyway, back on topic, I don't think I've ever posted this picture:

Wat ? That Byzzies are fighting in Scandinavia or your cunning plan to confuse the enemy, by a quick docking your ships in Stockholm, before going to Novgorod ?
Hope your troops won't forget to board the ships.
Beautiful knot though.
That wasn't an attempted docking, I had intended to park my ships in that inlet past Stockholm, but then I discovered that if I ordered my ships to go there, the game would have the graphics and arrow showing them out at sea, but treat them as if they were in the inlet, allowing them to march onto Vastmanland. That must be the smallest seazone in the game, that is connected to the ocean (and can therefore be traveled to). Then I got a bit silly. Here's the screenshot I took when I first noticed the anomaly.
Now that seems to be too complicated thinking even for me.
Well, Byzantium at sea.
:laugh:
That is a navigable seazone ?
Though the knot in the other picture is definitely beautiful.
I feel the urge to play up there soon.

I made it as a mod so you can actually play as a horse race.Nice photoshop.
Finished my first game ever! Decided to annotate the map so I could remember reaching the end date and what happened!
Haha, aye! They took Jerusalem and then adopted Outremer culture, which spread like wildfire.. They all ended up with really european names!
Strangest thing I have seen the AI pull off.
Basically the Duke of Flanders declared war on France for the Kingdom of France at the same time as the South was fighting for independence, and also manged to get most of the northern dukes to support him in the war. The war was over in just a month, and then because the Duke of Flanders capital is de jure in the HRE he just joined the HRE as the new King of France.

Strange indeed. In all my TPaTT games, Flanders ends up as France within the first twenty years, but I've never seen it swear fealty to the HRE. Shouldn't kings have a -1000 malus on swearing fealty to an emperor?
