IMHO German Shiite is already extraordinary, as in adopting the German culture while maintaining the Shiite religion.

That's a normal old German name.

Another one would be Hasso.

I had a queen consort Shakira of Poland once. What was annoying was that she was a generic courtier because the heir was outside my control (grandson).

I'm not sure if a gay Timur is more terrifying or hilarious, also what a lame epithet for Timur.

well that's a pretty good conquest in 1073, Byzantium lost Anatolia by 1085.

From these screenshots, it seems clear to me that the byzantines are not overpowered at all, especially with a post manizkert start. The HRE on the other hand, is very overpowered

**Axe27** · 26-02-2012 05:55

This game has been plain weird. I just conquered a Venice ruled by a Shiite Doge. And HRE vassals are literally everywhere. There's one in Ireland, probably gotten through inheritance. I'm playing as the King of Bohemia.

^ Glad I'm not the only one that had the GH eat Croatia, even though they don't border them.

My poor family was displaced and is now subject to the rule of the Khagante. :/

**Axe27** · 26-02-2012 06:16

At first, I actively worked to counteract the HRE emperor, but nowadays, I help him out, even though the succession is no longer elective. He truly is the only thing standing between me and the horde.

Yeah, the affair mechanic is wonky like that. I once had a king have an affair with his full-blooded daughter. Yes, actual daughter. Not daughter in law, not niece, not even a daughter from a different marriage. The daughter of his current wife and himself. He had the lustful trait so he auto-attempted it, but thankfully was rejected.

Kind of wish I had taken a screenshot, in hindsight.

Is there not a 'the Lame' epithet in the game files? There should be, as you could apply it to people who have a minor disability, or maybe those who become incapable.

**Danarca** · 26-02-2012 13:14

Ambitious is one way of putting it..

**Vordus** · 26-02-2012 13:25

In our multiplayer game yesterday we had a female called Sexbeast, was quite funny hehe

**Danarca** · 26-02-2012 13:51

Well you can name your children whatever you want to

**boomerUK** · 26-02-2012 14:13

Not strange but annoying, I am an only son with 7 sisters and 5 daughters, how unlucky is that.

Don't know about lame. The trait "maimed" always gives the best epithets imo.

**lazyguy** · 26-02-2012 15:49

Could someone please tell the court chaplain to put some clothes on?

Yeah, I had one Count whose fathered a bastard with his own mother in spite of her advanced age!
