My head is a place full of irrelevant knowledge and trivial facts - it seems it actually came in handy for once
As for the new Grand Duchess, let's hope females are indeed more resilient...
So much for Audra being more resilient
Coincidentally, I was reading about the de Bigods earlier...

I can see the Lithuanians aren't going to give murder up for a while yet...
fascinating start, seems the Lithuanians are going to keep up with the traditional Rurikovich pastimes of murder and revolt.
Love the idea of a Cathar England ... this is going to get messy
I always enjoy your AARs mnplastic, I'll be watching this one.

Pagan Lithuania, Cathar England... Things are starting to get interesting aren't they?
Perkūnas (thunder) – the god of thunder, rain, lightning, storms, mountains, oak trees and the sky. He is responsible for vegetation maintenance, the earth fertility, various weather phenomena. Inexhaustible reserves of water accumulated above the stone vault of heaven are under Perkūnas’ disposal. In spring he brandishes "the scourge of God" – lightning hurls and with thunder hurls stone axes and arrows down from the vault of heaven and fertilises his wife goddess Žemyna. Perkūnas is fighting Velnias for picaroon or theft of fertility. Perkūnas pursues the opponent in the sky on a chariot, made from stone and fire. It is harnessed by a pair of red and white horses. The chariot is Didieji Grįžulo Ratai ("Grand Wheels of Grįžulas" (Ursa Major). |

Good to see Girdenis crowned king of Lithuania, rather than just Poland. Is the succession Primogeniture? Either way, I foresee an interesting succession (I'm not counting on Girdenis having along reign )
An optimist I see...

Playing a pagan must be tough, but fortunately you have those "warrior cult" buildings to balance things out a little bit, right?
good to see that Girdennis seems to have improved the average life expectancy of your rulers ... odd to see Byzantium settled into Hungary though.

The Kingdom of Lithuania, got to admit first time I've seen that
Hopefully Girdenis lives long enough to enjoy the fruits of Kingship.
The Order of the Black Axe Warriors of the Black Axe are followers of Perkūnas. Their main weapon is an axe or a double-handed axe which a symbol of Perkūnas. The warriors also could use bows symbolising Perkūnas lightning bolts. However, they usually neither wear helmets nor carry shields and fight on foot. The order was created following the loss of Silesia to fight Teutonic knights and defend Perkūnas temples and Krivis. |
Is that a Mongol (Girdenis II) King of Lithuania I see?
A Mongol-looking Lithuanian king? This will be interesting...
worrying incursion of the Mongols
Nice to see the Pope proclaim a crusade against the English; better them than you!
As for England, I don't think I can bear the thought of a foreign king... Hopefully this will go the way of all the other Crusades in this game - defeat.
do hope that Cathar England manages to hold out
like the idea of poor Girdinis I popping his clogs due to stress ...
