Could this be the ugliest kingdom borders, ever?

[Tapio]

Or can you top this modern art piece?

edit: It would be great if you could toggle those custom kingdom colors in game. ...and excuse my English on the topic line

You must be new here

Seriously though, while yours is a mess in previous patches we've had gore so much worse than what is possible now. After one of the major updates (Charlemagne I think?) there was a bug that stopped the AI dismissing it's levies so the AI couldn't declare wars and just kept getting revolt after revolt as their vassals eventually hated them. And because they couldn't declare wars, realms never reformed or expanded.

Because it happened right before the Christmas break it didn't get fixed for a few weeks, there was plenty of time for people to post some insane screenshots.

I'll see if I can dig up one of mine...

So I googled CK2 border gore:

EVERYTHING IS IN THE WRONG PLACE

Except for flawless Denmark.

Denmark really is the only kingdom who doesn't go ruining everything.

Maybe Charlemagne Lombardy too, but they often manage to end up in north-africa so ehh.

 

[deadhand13]

I hate seeing Italians in north Africa. But what really pisses me off is that the Muslims never gang up to either: A) Prevent it from happening, or B) Kick them out afterwards. I mean, seriously guys, Pisa is a second rate merchant republic! Team up and MURDER THEM!

So I googled CK2 border gore:

Hmm, the player is the reformed Roman Empire, and he seems to own only the county of Rome...

I think this probably is the vassal mapmode, not the independent realms one.

 

[DukeDayve]

That's not the ugliest, nowhere near. Before Rajas of India, when a faction rebellion fired each member of the faction would go independent. Faction rebellions also used to be more powerful, so they fired way more often than today. It wasn't uncommon to see 25% of the map in this state at all times, with varying different kingdoms invoved over time.

So yeah, what you see is nowhere near the worst.

It is the vassal map mode; if you look in the lower right, you can see the empire border.

So I googled CK2 border gore:

Sweet jeebus. That needs a NSFW tag or something.

It's not actually THAT bad - it's actually direct-vassal view, and the majority of the world is controlled by the human player's Roman Empire (realm size 3000).

Pretty hideous vassal management from before the time of vassal limits.
