Was looking at the seazones and noticed no Channel Islands 
() and the "Iles d'la Manche" seazone doesn't actually cover the Iles d'la Manche.

Surely the court chronicler will not record such dishonourable events. The knowledge about these acts will be lost in the history.
Monks were the Dark Ages busybodies. I am sure, on some piece of vellum, there is this sad tale of European Tales from the house of Springer, Lord Jerry that is!
When your count dies, do you continue with your legitimate heir in Tuscany or the erstwhile bastard in Brittany?
I noticed that some of the connections on the family tree are broken. The connections between Conan, and his sons Alain and Aimery. What do those signify? Bastardy? And if so, how does the oldest son Alain figure into all of this? Is he recognized but not legitimized, giving him a position on the family tree but no inheritance?
I think we'll see some excellent narration style AAR's after the game's release. The game seems well suited for it.
And I have to say that graphically, the map looks really nice. Very medieval-y, like something from an old atlas.

This is great! This should really helps the AARs writing! Who knows, there may even be moments of "What the Hell?!"
Who knows, there may even be moments of "What the Hell?!" The picture indicates that there will be fleets to be used for transports and naval combat? At least it seems like that. But I remember that it was mentioned elsewhere that it was going to be the same like in CK 1. Fleets are only a good thing though!
It's been confirmed in a later dev diary that fleets will be in, but only for transport. Ship to ship combat won't be possible, nor will blockading or anything like that.
Naval combat sounds like a natural candidate for modular DLC, IMO.
Idk, they made a deliberate design decision to leave out naval combat. For various reasons, it really wasn't a feature of the period.
This was an awsome mini AAR made me whant the game even more! And made me whant to preorder the most awsome game of the year 2011 and one of the best in the years 2000+
It's more than -50 IRL, except in parts of New Jersey. You know, if Texas had married Matilda of Tuscany, your Vicky 2 AAR might have been a good deal longer.
I can't wait to play the game.

I think it may be needed for balance. We won't know how naval transport will play out exactly until we play the game, but right now, what exactly stops the Malik of Morocco from sending a fleet to invade Rome? As it stands now, he should theoretically be able to sail right up to the city unopposed, yes? I don't think that's a feature of the period either.

Two questions :
1) A count imprisoning a duchess ? Or is Conan reigning as Duke of Tuscany as well (but it doesn't seem so)
2) Once we have jailed our sweet wife, who's in command in Tuscany? A regent, us as Duke consort or the little Nominoe as Matilda's heir ? Will Aimery get claims on the title of Tuscany ? (I'm assuming that Nominoe will get claims on all his father's titles and claims) ?
Yes, it seems this latter case. On a side note, it seems that recognizing but not legitimizing a bastard may (or will?) end up (as announced) in the creation of a new dynasty - little Norman, for example.
So since Thomasse "effectivly managed to make" her son a heir maybe you should free her from prison and get some more backup?
