Isnt the requirement to restore Roma that you be an Orthodox faithful/Orthodox heretic, no Catholics allowed?

I think those are the requirements to mend the schism, but to form the Roman Empire you only have to be Christian (could be Catholic, Orthodox, Miaphysite, or even Messalian, etc.).
'Direwolf'? I thought this word didn't exist outside of Age of Empires 2. Hilarious!
Lowborn is considered a 'dynasty' by the game (House Lowborn). So every lowborn is actually a member of same dynasty, and considers himself/herself a relative of other lowborns.
And thus, when a lowborn kills another lowborn, the game automatically decides that the murderer has killed his/her own dynasty member and gives them the kinslayer trait.
Erm... which kin did she slaughter? Her children are alive, and she has no parents or siblings.

I somewhat hoped it didn't exist outside that... alas, George R. R. Martin's books seem to have caused another wave in the popularity of the term. The screenshots seem to be taken from the vanilla version, which begs the question: why was 'Direwolf' as a nickname preferred over dozens of actually attested ones which remain unincorporated into the game?
I've checked, it appears 'Direwolf' is not a vanilla nickname.
Anyway, aside from its inappropriateness in this game, why do you object to the word as such, if I may ask?

It isn't vanilla, as others have said. I have some graphic mods on, as well as Nicknames+, of which the only purpose is to add more nicknames, like Sancho "Direwolf" Jimena.
That moment when your levy is exactly 1999 and fits onto your 20 ships and you go raiding. Also, my son, grandson and great-grandson are all geniuses, so the game is going nicely.
I don't know if you're referring to my troops or my lineage. I successfully looted Rome and Italy with the troops and the funny thing is, my original character is still alive at 73 years old and elective gavelkind actually wants me to skip my son and go straight to my grandson when my king dies. I'm ok with that. Right after that happens, I will form the empire of Mali and try to get 3 holy sites in Scandinavia to get organized norse religion. For some reason, Denmark and Norway and Christian. I will abandon the holy sites after I have done it, I guess, never tried it before.
Plans, and plans within plans. A genius web you spin. Prepare for thy end comatose in bed. Again and again. And the imbeciles, the imbeciles will win.
In truth I am happy for you, enjoy your genius ruler(s) I have not had one in well over 500 hours of play time (I think I had one two years ago), whenever I am about to they die. Looks like a really fun game, hope to hear more updates! Good luck!
-Remember it is not genius that rules, but the location and number of mouse clicks.
Click wisely!

I started as a Norse/Germanic Midas Touched, wounded ugly dwarf genius ruler of a small county in Western-Africa. My first-born son was a dwarf and a genius, my grandson was just a genius and now one of my great-grandsons is a genius. Character creator is extremely fun for me, I don't need mods if I have that.
Thank you! You have reminded me of my WOL strategy I forgot about. Just have a bunch of bastards till one of them is a genius and legitimize only them! Muahahaha! Genius Bastards here I come!

Why do you think she has no parents or siblings? *creepy music*

Oh thank gods for that.
My distaste is a bit difficult to pin down, but it has something to do with using a prehistoric animal as a prop in a game about (largely) historical or at least nearly-historical epochs. It relies too much on the inherent cool factor in a name like direwolf - which in itself is a bit of an awkward calque on the Latin Canis dirus.
In that case, your distaste seems wholly justified. I thought I had never encountered the word in historical settings (I did not remember it features in Age of Kings, as someone has mentioned, yet now I do) and mainly knew it from fantasy settings (Song of Ice and Fire; Dungeons & Dragons).

Papal Orkney? That's madness, but not for this pope Caelestinus.
This is bizarre, I had this happen as well. He also got most of Pictland with it, somehow. No other Papal expansion, just Norway and Pictland.

African Revolt is such a pretty blue colour.
