Exactly. However, don't get your hopes too high, after all you can get a new bunch of children only every 10 years, so it's not that easy to get all of duke heirs. But sending them to be educated by your heir helps as well, for example. And content and humble people will more often get the same in their wards. Over few generations of careful eugenics you may turn your kingdom into Land of Virtues.

Yay

[gliomarto]

he's preggers?

Your Emperor is pregnant?!

Yep, and I even didn't notice when did it happen to my then-heir. I wonder whether it has something to do with him being homosexual...

maybe not as odd as an Emperor Mister Seahorse with a whole primary school class to take care off, but still



Turkish Finland? ... guess the nationalists is up in arms now that they're a minority to a nonnative culture group

You sure you aren't playing in XXI century?

Why do I get all the weird popes?



A chaste, hedonistic Pope named Hormisdas who owns half of France.

and Lancaster(?) appears to be bigger than England, with Castille and Navarra actually owning a big part of France

And he should actually be Hormisdas II, but Pdox had Hormisdas the First named as Hormisadas (which is still correct, but that means there are inconsistencies with their naming rule)

Civil war, actually. Lancaster was conquered a few years later and returned to the fold. The first King of France from 1066 turned Waldensian, and his heirs followed suit. I assume what you see is the result of a crusade. Or two. Or three, rather.

And he should actually be Hormisdas II, but Pdox had Hormisdas the First named as Hormisadas (which is still correct, but that means there are inconsistencies with their naming rule)

Several such inconsistencies, in fact. I've seen the game go from Michael VIII or Mikhail I or something similar. Can't recall the exact variant, but they were essentially the same. The game doesn't take traditional naming styles into account very well.

Apparently imprisoned bishops spend their time in feasts...



And king of Poland managed to get himself imprisoned while fighting pagans in Finland

[pvtjava]

I suppose he doesn't give a crap about ruling a Christian kingdom?

[DoomBunny]

Well, honestly, that's a common sight in every my game, as I'm doing early swipes of 6yo children to be educated by the best available teachers, and as I'm requesting education transfer from dozens of vassals on the first of September, when they all accept someone gets dozens wards. Then after first accepts there is a second round for those that had more than one child grow up that year, which consists usually of just about one dozen.



Here is just one example from the latest save. Also, who can notice something odd about my Emperor?

First thing I saw, the name. Second thing I saw, the huge number of wards. Third thing I saw, his insane prestige. Then I saw that he was pregnant.

[desertfalcon]

I thought the fact that he was homosexual and had 4 kids was the weird thing, but surprisingly some homosexuals tend to have a lot of kids so it's not that weird though. The fact that he was pregnant killed me though.

As someone who does not own this game yet, how can you tell a character is pregnant from that sheet?

[Torngasuk]

It's one of his traits.

Up there underneath the stats, the stats that show the numbers.

There is a bar with little itty bitty pictures that represent traits such as wroth, just, cruel, fat gluttonus pigs, such things like that. Well on that same bar is where it says if a person is pregnant and its represented by a bird carrying a package...you know like they show babies being carried in the old timer cartoons.

But that picture represents a pregnant character. So therefore we have our first ever pregnant man and its the Kaiser too boot Or perhaps he's really a female and that would explain why everyone thinks he's gay and how he ended up being prego lol

Look at his second trait.
EDIT: DAMN! Three guys got before me!

The only solution is to imprison him again!

[Garak]

Yep, and I even didn't notice when did it happen to my then-heir. I wonder whether it has something to do with him being homosexual...

I don't know. I've had a few homosexual rulers before, and none of them have gotten pregnant. Sounds like a rare bug, like when the game accidentally allows gay marriages and doesn't seem to notice.

Edit: On a different topic, this multiple ward thing reminds me of the exploit in the first Crusader Kings where if you sent out a bunch of marriage proposals at once, all the ones returning on the same day would be considered by the AI in a vacuum. Meaning you could have multiple wives. I had a king once in that game with something like seven wives at once.

Insane prestige? If you have a king that has a long life in iberia you can easily get thousands of prestige (thanks to holy wars). I believe my one king had around 9k prestige.

As the King of Aquitaine I managed to get 11k prestige and 4k piety for a total of 15k score. A large part of that was thanks to forming Jerusalem after winning a crusade and it also helped that he lived to his late 70s reigned for 56 years and came by the title of great honestly.

And some screenies of my own:

The war to depose who?

Heck, I've seen AI characters with 9k prestige. AI HRE emperor + the first King of Jerusalem + long reign...

[tnick0225]

My king of Burgundy had 12.2k prestige 3.1k piety and a hair over 4k in the bank too upped the family score from 9k to around 24k when he finally died after almost a 50 year long reign.

But again thats mostly because he won the kingdom of Jerusalem and the Pope loved him for it. But the 3k prestige is pretty high if all you've done is lay around in the castle all day
