I don't think I've ever seen a simultaneous crusade and jihad for the same kingdom before.

Join! :D [edit: oops you're pagan :p] That looks like even more of a saloon fight than a regular Crusade or Jihad.

I saw Amalfi get hit with simultaneous Jihads for Africa from Sunni and Shiite Caliphs. Forget which won but the merchant hooligans (who had a very large army) lost.

[edit] dang, Byzzies broke up in your game. In mine (also 11th century) they'e still together but the Catholic Church has problems (Lost the last crusade and heretics! Heretics everywhere!)

His Mother, who was impressive herself (Strong, Shrewd, Ambitious, Diligent etc.) lived to be 77 and passed the crown to a Grandson as he had become Infirm and Lunatic before she died. He was still by far the best General in the realm and stayed on as Marshal until he became bedridden:

Kievan Rus, home to some pretty innovative power sharing arrangements.

(I just conquered d_volhynia and I think Berimir was the regent of that, but the High Chief became independent because, eh, CK2 can be weird like that.)

I am pretty sure I've picked up an extra commander that way and would have one more than I would normally be allowed to have. I think you would have only to conquer Berimir as a vassal and he joins you still doing his old job.
 
Yeah it's CK3 but it was too good to leave behind:

All the Green are Islamic nations. There are a bunch more Islamic nations (like Bukhal and Syria). This picture only shows the ones in a defensive pact against me.

The AI entirely did this. I have been catholic the entire game and actively fighting against the Muslims. I will go over a brief history of how this happened:
1: The Nomadic Tengri kingdom of Bukhal, which used to rule over Bulgaria, successfully toppled the Empire of Byzantium. The ruler then settled in Byzantium, creating a large Tengri Byzantine empire.
2: a Jihad got called against Tengri Byzantium, and the ruler converted to Islam. A while later, a jihad on Bulgaria was undertaken, which also resulted in a conversion.
3: a child of Destiny was born in Muslim Pommerania by the name of Abdul-Qadir. He launched a 20-year campaign that wiped out every Christian nation east of the Holy Roman Empire (currently called Aquitaine). by the end of it, he had one leg, one eye and one hand.

If you put one on each hand and make them talk like puppets, how much penance will you have to do to stay out of Hell? :oops:



"For your service to the Holy Mother Church, I award you the foreskin of our Lord and Savior."

"I am very grateful your Holiness, but I already have one given by your predecessor."

"Oh... *tosses it in the fire* ...never mind then."

Interviewer: So, Mr Gzi, you just formed a brotherhood of the most zealous and dedicated Tengri warriors?
Warchief Gzi: Yes.
Interviewer: And your goal is to defend all followers of the one true religion - Tengri?
Warchief Gzi: Yes.
Interviewer: And all other religions are villainous heathens?
Warchief Gzi: Yes.
Interviewer: And you are a devout Catholic?
Warchief Gzi: Yes.
Interviewer: Isn't this a contradiction?
Warchief Gzi: No.

So what's the deal with all the Catholic one-eyed adventuring celibate genius mastermind theologian faithful servants??

Do these guys come from some kind of event similar to the traveling merchant that leaves behind a eunuch?

What oddly specific traits. Some decent advisors in there though.

My immediate guess is generated court physicians. Do you have Reaper's Due?

I do. :) I think I might pay for my next court physician. Right now it's my genius Chancellor/Heir/Designated Regent and that is a LOT of trust to put into a guy who gets the throne when I die.

[edit] Now that I think about it I started this game before I bought the DLC. Maybe that has something to do with it.
