The Irish are remarkably progressive people.

The best part is that, since that was taken, they've gotten control of Brittany, and western France...In addition to all of Wales.

while not saying its the fastest, this attempt at getting an new empire fastest is certainly up there

Started as William earliest possible ... before finishing off England i plotted for a claim on the French crown, while clubbing England good and prober ... waited out the timer for getting new levies in england (clubbing Wales while waiting) and an oppotunity, which came when Robert the Old of Burgundy with support from Toulouse and Flanders declared for the throne themselves ... jumped in joining the melee for the crown winning it (this war going from ~1079-1081) ... then i waited again on oppotunities which game when a new Kaiser got on the throne, and i declared a claim war on Vivarais against the keiser and a claim (forged by count of Mâcon) on Forez against a revolter ... my sisters father in law (Duke of Britanny, my sister was merried Conan's bastard son) died doing combat and i used his weak claim to capture Brittany from his 14 year old younger brother ...

Funny thing ... William the Conquer died not even half a month after i destroyed the French crown from severe stress ... guess he hated himself for doing it :p

This was the nth time the Lord of the Ring changed in the game.
Surely a cursed place.

Kaboom.
 
My 50 year old sultan died after during an event in which he reaffirmed his love to one of his wives, no screenshot but the idea of a 50 year old man having a heart attack on top of his wife is a rather humorous idea.
 
I made a thread about this but i suppose i can post it here as well.

Behold! The Holy Roman Republic!
