i ran out of fun games to play on my laptop. while i got plenty of idea's for my "main" games(i.e. resotre the roman empire as the ottomans, unite iberia as navarra, brave the mongols as russia) i cant think of something dun to do on my laptop, as its often on-off gaming i.e. at school and thus cant have extremly attention needing things as fighting the mongols. i already conquered brittannia with the nromans, united italia and broke free of the HRE, reinstalled the karlings as a major power in europe and united armenia minor unde the sultanate of rum but really cant think of another good game to start.

any suggestions?

For laid back, Matilda the duchess (Unless you have already). You're a vassal to the HRE so there is no foreign threat. Slowly build upto Italy, while trying to keep the crown laws of HRE law. Break free when you're strong enough and maybe let the Kingdom of Sicily Drift into Italy, to recreate today's modern state?

For slightly more intense, try start as Sicily. You have enough vassals, but only a single county, so you need to build up a power base. When you're strong enough, reclaim the rest of Sicily and become King. Now you can swear fealty to the ERE, and take it apart from the inside, or try going north.

Both of these IMO are slightly laid back with enough challenge.

jsut united italia and alreayd got a sicily game on my main pc where i basicly conquered the mediterenian.

thinking of it, staritng as a zoroastian in ireland might be fun. ill probaly be annialated, but should be fun to try.

if anyone knows: how can you get a warrior cult if starting as pagan? they dotn seem to pop up with me. does the province need to be pagan as well?

I am not good enough yet to do these ideas I have, you might have already tried. 1. Nubia, I want to rule all of Africa. Not going well just yet, in fact it does not go at all, my best so far is about 40 years. Also once I figure out a few things, I want to form Wales and stay independent the whole game, better luck here, lasted to late 1200's before England decided I needed to go bye bye. :) By independet I mean just those 6 counties and no vassels.

Start as Earl Gofraid of the Isle of Man...unite Britannia under you rule (as I have done, in 130 years).

Start as Henri of Latin Empire in June 1st, 1205. Keep your vassals under control, destroy Byzantium and the heathen Muslims, convert the Orient to Catholicism.

Start as Duke Wlost Dunin of Silesia. Scheme or war to take over your de jure territories, then become King of Poland and dominate Central and Eastern Europe.

Start as Count Hoel of Nantes. Put your wife on the ducal throne of Brittany, then take bits and pieces out of France, England, Wales, and Ireland to create a maritime empire.

Start as either Duke Estmond of Lancaster or Duke Eadwin of Northumberland. Plot to kill your brother and nephew (where applicable), own almost half of England, help Harold defeat the Norse and the Saxons, then turn on him and become King of England.

As Harold Godwinson, give a county or two to Eadgar of Wessex (the Aetheling), last scion of the House of Wessex and last male-line descendant of the first Kings of England, from Alfred the Great. Save and reload as Eadger; retake England in the name of your ancestors.
