The Obligatory CK2 Strange Screenshot Thread

What map mode are you use?

Just normal political map mode, why? My desert/wasteland has never displayed properly and that Syria is ruled by a dynasty that also rules somewhere else so it uses the normal kingdom name, if either of those were why you were asking?

Can I ask who is the purple state near you? It isn't the Byzantine Empire, since it has another shade of purple.

I think it was the Byzantines, to be honest. What shade do you think they normally are?

 

[Coalsack]

They're another kind of purple. Not unlike the Roman Empire that you can see on my screenshot.

Let me check when I get home and I’ll let you know.

@Coalsack hey, this is my (horribly bordergore-y accidental HRE) realm about eight years later, I'm pretty sure it was the Byzantine Empire the whole time... I use f.lux on my desktop so perhaps it's that? Other than that I dunno...

I asked because of wasteland.

I asked because of wasteland.

Yeah idk why it does that - it has done ever since the update ages ago. I should report it as a bug but I really assumed someone else would have already and it doesn’t impact my enjoyment of the game anyway.

Can't be f.lux, it auto-disables in full screen apps.

Actually, that's a setting. Might be on by default in new installs, but I needed to set that.

Sorry but I'm kind of busy at the moment...

My f.lux is off for fullscreen apps (yep, it's a setting).

Killing someone who tries to blackmail you hardly qualifies as cruelty in the AGOT or CKII worlds. The trait is gained by torturing prisoners or castrating/blinding toddlers or publicly hanging petty offenders during a summer fair etc.

Or chopping someone's hand off, skinning and castrating prisoners, feeding escaped prisoners to dogs, massacring hundreds of people under your own roof (the precise list goes on...)

An unholy Rurikid-Makedon alliance, on top of some random Armenian adventurer carving up an empire in Central Asia, plus a Caliph's nephew with a Socotran wife, among several things, made the Religion distribution much more...pink.

By, the way, about that Armenian adventurer...when most Persian territories became de-jure Byzantines, he ended up forming the Persian Empire with just Transoxiana. His dinasty has also a curious name...

Nope, it happens sometimes when you don't send armies to help an ally. Not sure exact what triggers it.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Pahlavi was the last dynasty of Shahs to rule before the Islamic Revolution in 1979
