RESPONSES
naggy: Who, Raymond? Even that kind of stunt wouldn't surprise me right about now. His AI has made some really stupid decisions in this game.
Saithis: Thanks! Hopefully the Hashishin threat has been diverted, but then again in-game they're not nearly as much of a threat as they ought to be.
Ivir Baggins: I'm actually surprised someone hasn't come along and tried to remove him
for me.
Morsky: Thank you sir! That's high praise. I'm particularly pleased to hear you're enjoying the style. Since it was a bit of an experiment on my part, I've been hoping that my readers would like it. As for whether to advertise the story, you certainly wouldn't get any complaints from me. So please feel free!
Chief Ragusa: Yes, Tiberias attacking the Hospitallers
is madness. In fact, for a Christian lord to declare war on a holy chivalric order over a small territorial claim is so unbelievably stupid that it should not even be possible. This is one example of
de jure claims being way overpowered in CK2.
Deaghaidh: Unfortunately, neither is much of a possibility at the moment. To strip of his titles, I'd have to do it one at a time and would absolutely ruin my reputation with both my own vassals and the rest of Christendom. That's considered to be unbelievably depraved, more so even than having him executed, because I'd be depriving his heirs of their patrimony as well. I'd need a personal claim on each of his titles before I could strip them without penalty. That's decades of work for my poor chancellor.
As for having him murdered, do you think I haven't tried?
He's just got a much better spymaster.
Kurt_Steiner: Yes, it looks as though Raymond's AI is absolutely nuts. Part of this may be that he's got two duchies in his own right, Tripoli by personal inheritance and Galilee from his late wife Eschiva, whereas Reynald is just a lord consort to the real heiress of Oultrejordain, Etienette de Milly. The game doesn't yet seem to have a mechanism to truly recognize the role of lords ruling
de jure uxoris. Instead, these consorts just seem to be pet councillors to serve as marshals or stewards for their powerful wives. Meh.
Tommy4ever: Hopefully. No one lives forever, right? Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to the AAR!
