The Obligatory CK2 Strange Screenshot Thread

[Sincleric]

Browsing through my family tree, looking for more claimants that I needed to off before the next Empress came to the throne, I found this gem:





I looked into his background. It seems that his father, Gilin Sithrigi, imported a foreign mail order bride from Russia. However, he and his brother were caught supporting various claimants to the throne of England very soon after she arrived, and thus were executed for treason. Gilin's new wife spent very little time packing her things and quickly returned to her father's court in Mongol occupied Russia.

For a moment there, I thought the 'former husbands' bit was from his sheet.

Was gonna start asking questions xD

I don't know if this is unusual in CKII, but by constantly going against the pope's actions across several under years and undermining his religious authority, I have nearly managed to eradicate catholicism from the map,

See this religious map.

I started as william the bastard and ended as emperor of Britania with something like 16 or 17 kingdoms under my control. I have been a Fraticelli for a very long time of course.

I've got a bunch, after a couple of long games.



All-female Iberia!



Islamic Abyssinia and a Christian exclave of the Shia Caliphate. I think someone got mixed up.



Feudal LAD



In fair Salerno, where we lay our scene...



Mr. T?

Following a successful crusade against the Cathar French, the Pope inherits 90% of said nation's territory.



Be so very afraid.

What is this Green Empire in Britain, that is a mod, right?

Looking at screenshots of this thread, people sure have a lot of female rulers.

That's why they are strange screenshots.

What? Did I say something wrong? :P

In one game, my husband was extremely jealous of my chancellor, and the following would crop up, again and again, and again. I know, my chancellor really liked me, and I appreciated him too, but he was near my father's age and not my type. Nor was he particularly lustful - he had good, honest, christian traits.





In another game (1.05g), I was trying to find a good husband (whom I was planning to then ennoble) for my aunt (I think). This is what I got when I aked for a matrilineal marriage:




The problem was:






Who was he saving himself for, the Empress of Rome?

[Effixel]

ok, a couple of pictures from my last game:


I was leading a war for Brittany on behalf of my vassal and kinsman, the count of Penthièvre, whom I had put at the head of my army. During the course of the war, he found nothing better to do than rebel against me. "No problem, I kick his arse and move on to Brittany afterwards" I think. And then I found him in this awkward situation: The count of Penthièvre, still leader of my army although rebelious, besieging his own county...



Angelo, lowborn and heretic, got banished by his liege. Where did he take refuge? Rome. Well done. He was an idiot too.



And last but not least, in the middle of my mighty kingdom, the independent barony of Fuensalida, which survived until 1453.

Well can't blame the nasty old bugger for trying. After the third visit to his daughters bedchambers, they spawned a little bastard girl.... (couldn't help myself, but feel a little nasty too).



I was hoping of a little brat with at least imbecile or inbred trait, but she still ain't showing any signs of it. Little disappointed.

And yes, she was legitimized.

[Rotergeist]

Hmm, since when did the medieval Catholic church invest female bishops??

[JJDXB]

The Year is 1311. After a successful crusader for Andalusia, I decide to take a look at what's happening over in the east.

1. Hmm. Albert de Lusignan, King of Jerusalem, Syria, Abyssinia and Nubia. Not bad.




2. WOAH, MASSIVE PERSIAN EMPIRE! (+ Golden Horde and Ilkhanate)





3. Massive Persian Catholic Empire with an ethnic Mongol Borjigin ruler.




4. Wait, what?




5. Meet Alfred de Lusignan, heir to Empire of Persia, the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate.

Apparently the city and castle decided to switch at some point! Not gamebreaking...but kind of silly. ^^; Gonna have that popup for the rest of the game.

[Cthulufaic]

So I was mucking about as the King of Georgia when this happened:
Guess which option I chose...
(By the way ignore the battle happening)


(It was the top one)

[Serazahr]

Is that like a Islamic option?

you have to watch out with getting counties from lord mayors and prince-bishops, if you get the castle in that county everything will be ok again

Yes. Upon realizing that my Basque ruler could not form the Britannian Empire, I built myself a modded Empire instead.
