Looking good! Although I am having problems reading the long names in the geneaology. :D Did you play around with the save files like Gratianus did?
 
Looks very nice

Though candour compels me to say that the genealogy looks authentically medieaval and illegible ;)
 
@Shuma: They're Welsh! They are hard to read :)
@StNylan: It's good flavor and it keeps some suspense til the cards come up.

@Shuma: Nuh uh. This one I left to the game, so we can all see how ugly it gets and how fast. :D I appreciated Grat's dedication, but I figure - esp. at coward or normal settings - the game should take care of that on its own.

@CSK: Yup. & Both.
 
"Looking good" seems to be the appropriate comment here... :D

Also having difficulties with the Welsh name reading, but who cares? They are all called Gwynedd ap Gwynedd or something... ;) :D

  1. Hmmm...

    On second thought, without forced truces, maaa-a-aybe I shouldn't just use 50 year updates... Can y'all make out everything? or should I try decade or quarter-century posts?

    It'll be clearer but give the updates a slower pace
  2. Daffyd is also amusing because he earned his epithet Hunanladdiad well before his actual suicide - when Llywelyn killed his wife (Daffyd's mom), Daffyd inherited her fief and (in a classic teenage move) tried to get back at dad by assassinating... himself. :D

    Luckily it was just a cry for help!

    Nothing a timely revoke title couldn't solve, I thought - til the little SOB poisoned his dad.

Lol.. a nice disfunctional family, just how we like it :)

And perhaps you should break it up a bit, or maybe just show the important movements elsewhere. That last map was... full of arrows :D

He finished it off by marrying dad's fiance himself. :D She was the heir for Deheubarth.

That last map was... full of arrows :D

Heh.

You should see the next one... :eek:

Good update, confusing map, funny rulers, ...

Keep it up and coming... :D
 
The map looks like typical CK silliness. Smaller time periods may help, but then again may not.
 
Great, I can actually read the map... :D
 
Yeah, the map is very readable, even with the various kingdoms being all over the place in classical CK fashion. Great work!
 
Looks like Hungary is well set up to be the first target of the Horde.
