Yeah. I was reminded by Jean-Paul Marat, Robespierre and reign of Terror...it kinda reminds me of the great purge.
Don't show compassion to traitors, they deserve none.Poor Eirenaios... RIP
Indeed. Well, I would get like +300 tyranny for this (more people died behind the scenes but I would surpass the 20 images/AAR post if I wanted to show them all). But...Well that's a lot of heads to cut ... A few more, gentlemen and you'll be good servants of the Imperium !
Gameplay-wise do you have maluses for killing so many people or did you arrange yourself not to have some ?
P.S : could you use italics or another thing instead of *...* for the scenic indications ? IMO it'd look better and more readable
...I used the wonderful instrument which is excommunication, so I get 0 tyranny. After having them all excommunicated I used strategos Demetrios to imprison them and then deliver justice on 1st January 1431. Angeloi, as descedants of Saint Markos Isapostolos, were given a quick death but obviously Leontios Doukas and captain Julian weren't that lucky and they paid for their treason a terrible price.Question: how much tyranny does alexios have after that head-chopping spree?
That's right, Romaioi - stay vigil for the enemies of the Imperium are everywhere!Wait,do you consider our Blessed Augustus Alexios the Just,to be a tyrant?
Arrest him and behead him!
The Emperor is reminding me of the Xenoi now...
How dare you besmirch the good name of the Basileus, Regent of God and descendant of Saint Markos!!!!
Guards, arrest this Xenoi spy for attempting to create internal turmoil and unrest within the Imperium.
it kinda reminds me of the great purge.
I guess I should treat this as a complement (?) but Great Purge took four years and saw thousands killed or imprisoned, not to mention the terror of Revolution. This was just a quick and decisive action against conspirators in the Great Palace,Yeah. I was reminded by Jean-Paul Marat, Robespierre and reign of Terror...
Game-wise? Absolutely none (besides the Kinslayer trait). Story-wise? Just wait and see the next chaptersOk, our holy emperor has really done it this time I wonder what repercutions this will have in the future ...
The great xenoi shall drink the blood of these weak romans! The time of their rule has come to an end!Meanwhile, in Tenochtitlan, it's always a bright and sunny day from the sacrifices, and everyone's happy because there's a nigh endless supply of savage easterners to go up to the altar instead of hardworking Aztec citizens, and all the riches plundered from Europe has created a state of utopia!

That said, I'm not placing any money on this being the last of these little "palace coups" by a long shot.
Palace coups? In Roman Empire? They were practically everyday events.
Pointless infighting while outside forces threaten to destroy them is a proud tradition of the Byzantines, though!Sometimes the AI just makes me laugh. An independence faction when the Aztecs would chew them up in two seconds :laugh:
