Now I can concentrate on advancing my dynasty with my grandson and sister.

Finally! Sennar is safe from these nasty conspiracies!
The end of murdering! Can it be ?
Btw, I am really surprised you managed to gain so many people to plot against your target.
Well done. Now you just need to find the One Knucklebone of Power and the world will be yours

Wait, was Tesfaye just... semi-capable? :blink: Of course, I guess it did depend upon the total idiocy of someone recording their own murderous activities...
Indeed, the thought alone of the Zagwe dynasty advancing somewhere is revolting and unthinkable.
The only really interesting thing that happens in year 1122 is that Ioulia dies of injuries that she sustained years previously. Those baboon injuries will always get you in the end.
Sure, Whatever lets you sleep at night*Strategic* surrender, mind you.
It's anything that doesn't fit in any other category.Philo32b said:A bit off topic, but I'm not even really sure what this "natural causes" really is.
You don't need to be old to die of natural causes. I must mention that back in the Medieval times people died young (in our terms) and pretty fast and everybody considered it normal course of events. For example - hygiene was very low (not sure if not even lower than in the Roman Empire), medicine was bad (in fact some recipes designed to improve man's health, that I am aware of, sounded more like a magical ritual of a hag than a sensible way to cure someone), there were natural accidents, type of food (or total lack of food) could cause death, you could overwork yourself or have hidden condition we can now discover and much more.Philo32b said:Can't be old age, as lots of young folk die of it.
As for Ioulia I am not sure if "maimed cripple" refers to an actual event (like you die in battle as a maimed cripple and get such note) or it's just after some time because of low health AFTER surviving actual assassination attempt... Or ANY maimed cripple who dies will be noted as such when (s)he dies?
I appear to be doing alright in my current game. ...
I really don't know that it can be done without assassinations. If the Caliphate isn't destabilized, there's no way to stop it. I'm not even sure successful assassinations are a sure-fire thing...
First Mencia, now Ioulia? Is the killing spree over... or is Anatolios' ghost just more subtle?
I have to be such a bad person! The sentence '.... died a maimed cripple.' made me laugh - the misfortune of others (especially of computer generated characters) is always funny.
If only the esteemed count could capture a bunch of those baboons, pack 'em in a crate and send it as a "gift" to the Caliph.

I'm curious about that byzantine Emperor though. His heir (although currently imprisoned) seems to be a King in his own right. Can we expect that horrible pink Behemoth to grow even larger in the near future?
Wow, Sennar's actually managing to get boring - the sure sign of a successful state! I'm sure it won't last long.
What ever happened to go a plundering in Europe or the East? Joining wars to capture nobles for their ransoms, a ignoble, but perhaps profitable idea.
Now take those levies and conquer... something!
Just discovered this AAR. Great fun to follow the ups and downs of this underdog dynasty! I love the roleplaying aspects (guess many of us do something similar in our heads while playing, but still an inspiration), and the small tidbits of Abyssinian history and culture. Subscribing.

Anyone whose health is impacted by the maimed trait receives that cause of death, no matter how recent the injury is. I'm not sure how it works overlapping with other health reducing traits, such as stressed, depressed or diseases.
I had a 9 year old die of natural causes the other day.
I'll post my own thread soon but I have an Abyssinia game 100+ years into it and I have not assassinated anyone (save one king of Bohemia for role playing purposes to get my husband on the throne even if though they have seniority). I have also not replayed from any save points. I have all of Abyssinia and, I am king of Arabia as well and I have a bit of Egypt. I am not guaranteed of survival but I am fairly confident at this point as I can raise 30K troops. I am about to declare holy war on the Cairo region. The Caliphate has been intact more or less this whole time (they lost outer jordan to infighting and they have lost a number of lands to me).
Anyhow I won't hi-jack this thread anymore. I'll post a few screenies and start the story in around 12 hours.
