I don't know why...but I found this event really creepy...

I was just minding my own business, putting down a rebellious relative in a remote province, watching the Rus troops walk by as my siege wears on... and I noticed the colour of the neighbouring Rus provinces changes. I zoom out to take a look... oh crap.

Nothing too strange, but I was quite proud of my diplomatic efforts as Barbarossa before he snuffed it... he begins the Third Crusade scenario as a widow, so I promptly re-married to a daughter of the King of Denmark (about 40 years my junior) and she gave me four strong, proud Teutonic babies before I snuffed it: Emilia, Lothar, Matilda and Caroline.







After Barbarossa died, his eldest sons went to civil war over the imperial crown... by the end, the Holy Roman Empire had completely fragmented and all four original brothers (Heinrich, Friedrich, Otto and Konrad) were dead, leaving their one remaining half-brother Lothar as Duke of Swabia, Verona and Upper Burgundy. He never married - I could never find him a suitable bride whilst playing as Barbarossa, and then after he died Lothar just never bothered to find one himself - and so died childless, leaving his lands and titles to a vague relative in Baden (I think).

Despite the absolute carnage of his elder sons' reigns, Barbarossa's diplomatic efforts did result in his grandchildren assuming the ducal thrones of Normandy and Provence, as well as the rather cool (I thought) fact that others also became kings of England and Aragon. The marriage to Prince George (if you're wondering, he was Henry II's youngest son before he died, making him the direct Plantagenet heir) resulted in my family keeping the throne after Arthur I (of Brittany) died.

By the way, Richard, Geoffrey and John all died during their civil war to topple Henry II.

And there ends Friedrich Barbarossa's male line... not bad for a first game.

There's actually a term for this: "double cousin". Double cousins are, statistically, about as related to each other as half siblings (the "coefficient of relationship" for each is 1/4; compare 1/2 for full siblings and 1/8 for ordinary first cousins)

They're all independent and in peace.

Marrying your own great-granddaughter. That's pretty badass.

I mean, genetically speaking, as long as the rest of the tree is outbred, as it seems to be, it's completely fine.

But fuck. Marrying your own great granddaughter. Very impressive.

Well, I only did it because I put her father on the Croatian throne and she was his only child. I had no unmarried brothers or sons left so I had to marry her myself to keep the Croatian throne of my dynasty.

I like that Normandy!

The Captain of the Swiss Band (without any further lands or titles!) starts an Invasion (!!) of France (!!!)...
Due to his opponent having no troops the french kings easily accuires 100% warscore just by holding france

I'm guessing the French king hired his company, then ran out of money to pay them, prompting them to turn on him.

This. You must be a very fortunate player if this hasn't happened to you yet.

Or maybe it was just that people were so eager to expand over-quickly in the demo, leading to crap like this.
