Cant you use save files for evidence? It wouldn't be hard to do it faster than Arumba, but only because you can copy what he does and take more time to give commands before unpausing. Wouldn't make for interesting watching though.

I could. But is there some information in the save files that I can't get from looking at a screenshot + reading the user's explanation? I can be wrong but I think I wouldn't even be able to verify whether someone used the console or not from looking at a save file.


I don't mind if I don't get the record at all! It was just an idea :)

I appreciate your input mate ;)
I just think that a record like this is similarly pointless as most wives (which currently is on the list), highest tyranny, etc.
If you want to achieve this record you can do this by completely disregarding logic. High intrigue ruler, good marshal and you can imprison thousands of characters on a single day.

:eek: How is this even remotely possible? Care to elaborate?

I want to know too. I was going to attempt to take back the WC record, and thought I could do it in 40-50 years, but once again that would be as the Magyars. As Nantes, I have no idea how it could be done in under 100 years.

@Jon as a question, are you/how are you planning on implementing iron man mode into the record keeping? It would seem logical to require all new record to be done in Iron man (unless there's something I don't know), but will all old records still be valid?

I'm working on a more detailed explanation which I'll probably make a thread for, but the main idea is to immediately subjugate all the pagans, and then use tribal invasion on the christians/muslims, all the while a North-Korea style rule (imprison and banish everyone). It would actually be impossible to pull of using the Magyars, because they start off as king-tier :).

Some, though not most, cheats could be found by detective work in the save file. For instance, a title changing hands without war or inheritance is almost certainly the effect of the console. However, it would be really fastidious and not worth it.

By your post it sounds like you found a way to cancel the ambition to "become king of", ohhh I think I may have just figured it out, off to testing.

Edit: LOL it didn't cancel it but it did change it to another kingdom, that's an interesting trick.

so are you saying you went Tengri and gave yourself a migrating capital? i know you can still get around the inability to move your capital by simply awarding it to a vassal and thus change the ambition become king of _blank_ but the Tengri are the only other pagans i've witnessed with an invasion. The norse prepared invasion are size restricted and once you reach a realm size of i think 50 you can no longer make use of them. but you say you did this as Nantes? In Brittany right?

Really i can't wait to see how you did this.

Does the game allow norse to appoint a Tengri as Seer? And if it does, would the seer then try and convert his liege, like heretics do to Christian rulers?

If it doesn't, he may have sworn fealty, which should allow him to switch to lieges culture and religion, I don't know if that works for Pagans either, but I know it works for Christian rulers.

I used nothing but the NRBT and keyboard shortcuts mod, so the check-sum was not modded. (I hope)

(You know whats funny? June 24th is actually my real life birthday! Weird, right?)

I suggested doing that here but the people that commented were against it.

My Carpathia is listed as bjorn :p

Anyway, started a new game trying to start as a Byzantine vassal and eventually taking over. Haven't done it before. Started as Doux of Armenia, 15 Sep 1066.

13CB32596E101DD768E6C83C89D95A7702DC638B

Picked up the couple extra counties I needed, and luckily the Byzantine emperor granted me Duchy of Mesopotamia after a failed crown authority revolt.

A908F278E2AED8B48BD56589531CD5459B559746

Expanded by picking off my de jure counties, couple Sunni counties as well. During another crown authority revolt I called an independence war. With mercs and my full levies, I was able to get independence.

EC8D11BE659BF208C7F247B4BD94E818EA70751A

Anyway, not particularly fast but it was unclaimed so whatever :p
