Admittedly the Nestorian/Cathar schism is my fault (mended the great schism as Nestorian, then converted to Cathar), but the Hindu Steppes are all the AI. Slavic is reformed.
I feel un-hygenis after reading all these saddening papal jokes, frankly their un-horious
Sunni caliph got dethroned, and recovered by converting to Messalianism. Also you can see that apparently Sinai is some kind of luxury resort in this world, as current caliph holds his capital there too. I took Baghdad from them, but come on, there still Mecca, or Basra.
Some stuff of legends: all his family, including 7-years old daughter and infant sons died fighting.
Shit AI does. So you're viking from Russia who decided to conquer some sea-side property in Tunis? Better visit all the sights of Middle East while getting there overland. EDIT: I checked wiki, and turns out Tahart is neither beach-side, nor in Tunis, shame on me.

Emperor is genius.
Marries female genius.
Turns out to be cousin.
Did not realise.
Fathers these two....

Feature from many mods, when siege is done the attacker can choose to kill or imprison the family living there. That byz probably chose the first option.
I think he's on a path of spiritual rediscovery, finding out why he first joined the church.
Sire, I don't think Aveis is going to be much help....
Sweaty? More like pale, sire. Can we please just bury her?
My husband caught me in bed with...himself? (Okay, it's because my character has 2 lovers, her husband and a courtier, and the even just picked one of them randomly)
He has no family, but he is of house Jute, nontheless! (adoption?)
And thus, all the great Norse families forever forswore the dead god...except Birger, who had somehow ended up a cardinal...we have no idea how, house Yngling are doing fine as kings of Norway
Ah, it's a glorious time to be a Christian. Even the foul mongols have converted to our faith. Yes, no need to care about the Mohammedans in...wait, Russia? But there's no Muslims anywhere near Russia....
Gee, I wonder why, sire.
For Moray!
Karlings making the HRE within 20 years? Rare, but hardly noteworthy. This time, they managed to not only form it within 20, but also lose it.
And so, Ammi very much regretted his holiday in Scandinavia.
And when you've paid back the money, you must tell us...how the hell did you manage to steal 5 years' income worth of gold without anyone noticing?
You may hold me prisoner, infidel, but I really do appreciate the way you withheld our bread and water until after sundown during Ramadan.
Probably one bisects the other, so the name appears on both sides.
Duchy, county,... what is the third one?
Hello, I just finished my first ever vanilla game of CKII. I was from the start a guy from Iceland and mostly stayed there, having gained and lost provinces and baronies occasionally on the continent. I purposefully made a game where I could be more of an observer for my first try - while I did a lot of things, some of it interesting, most of it not, I don't think I effected much beyond scandinavia and the British Isles.
And the world we ended up in sure looks interesting. I am sure that nothing here is weird to anyone who has played a hundred games, but please allow a newbie to post one shot of hhis first game
Herein, the british isles are now divided to three kingdoms, but Ireland not until long a go controlled scotland too - and me, since I got independent from Norway at some point and swore to Ireland. On the continent then... France was divided almost from the start. The muslims were beaten away from Iberia but managed to return. Eventually, HRE and Byzantium got a mixed up royal house - and this was what happened.
Also, the AI Cumania stuck together, eventually reformed Tengri faith, and now are a massive powerhouse. And have been for quite a while.
A question; while I enjoyed IMMENSELY seeing a tengri faith nation which probably will remain until "our" times, how often does the AI manage to do this? Can it ever manage to reform any other pagan religion? Hopefully the answers are rarely and yes; extremely rarely.
Also, interestingly, the islamic world is split in two.. between the Shia caliphate and the western states which are Ibadi. No province in the entire game is Sunni.
Sweden there got inherited by Poland long ago and treid to liberate itself 5 times, but failed, and in the endgame got independent when HRE swallowed Poland - only to be absorbed into (catholic) Lithuania. While all swedish provinces are swedish in culture, practically every single noble is polish in name and culture.
At the mixing stage of it all, it created absolutely hilarious names such as Erik Przyborsson Malachowski.

I've seen HRE and Byzantine AIs get close to inheriting each other but I've never seen it happen.
Ludolf di Monferrato, age 12, is "Basileius of the Byzanthine Empire", "Basileius of the Holy Roman Empire"
and heir to the County of Plock. He gets upset if you forget that.
A child like that would probably become a very grounded individual.
