I posted this in the release thread but I started a game as the count of Meath and had all sorts of issues at the start with plotters and conniving courtiers. Had one heir die when he was 8 and had a regent ruler for a long period but finally around 1130 I manage to get my Torfinn declared king of Ireland. An option pops up stating I can hold a grand tournament and naturally to celebrate my newfound kingdom I do so. Tournament starts and I get nice bonuses to my relationships with my vassals and after the end of the tournament my sonless king gets this announcement..
EDIT: Stupid photobucket. But anyway my king enjoyed the friendships between the knights so much he became a homosexual.

rofl that's hilarious, and that reminds me, the king of france has a lesbian wife, who is fooling around with his lesbian sister in my game xD
I started with Hauteville. It's very impegnative, but I finally conquered Sicily to muslim! 
I see new events that in the demo they aren't.

Played William the Bastard. Conquered England, now trying to hold on...
Most fun? Imprisoning all those rebellious nobles, and stripping them of titles.
Shocking moments:
1) Realizing that my imprisonment of duke eadwin of lancaster led to morcar seizing all of lancaster for himself. That Saxon bastard now rules the entire north.
2) Checking how how my heir, Robert, is doing. Finding out that he is a wroth, slothful, gluttonous, greedy, deceitful craven. And excommunicated. OH SHIT!!

Outch! That reminds me of when I had raised a perfect son with marshal skill at 23 and diplomacy at 13 intruige at about 6 i think and stewardship aroun7-8. He also had all good traits everyone liked him(green relationship/above 0).
Now what hapened was he turned 16 and I made him my marshal and then just after that I gett a rebbelion in my county so I deploy my army and my marshal and what do you know he died instantaniusly(gues he was to brave lol). Now next in line to the throne was my second son with pretty mutch all bad traits incuding lunatic
Nedless to say when he inherited he was hated by everyone (below 0/red relationships) with pretty mutch everyone. Luckily by the time he inherited he owned 3 counties already and had a total army of 4600 soldiers while his vassals had about 200
no one dared to speek there mind. He was considered a (ruthles ruler?), he got -80 relations for being so ruthles.
Killing my brother
My younger brother inherited land that I believe rightfully belonged to me upon my fathers death. So I, the 8 year old Duke of Leinster, arrange the assassination of my infant brother, the Duke of Meath. I then regained my lost land, and became known as "Kinslayer". Didn't stop me from becoming king and subjugating the rest of the Island... my God... this game is amazing.

not knowing twins in the game and thought the game bugged, now have two richards for his sons.
(Demo, extended play, second or third play overall in any Crusader King game) As the Duke of Connatch I realized that my second son was much much better than my heir. So I murderer my heir and his two infant sons, with the help of my 29 intrigue spymaster, not being discovered. Shortly after that, my new heir tell me that Catolic faith is wrong, becoming heretic, and therefore being hated by pretty much everyone (cruel trait didn´t help either).
I don´t care I said, and went in a conquest spree pushing courtier claims for counties, forming duchies and then pressin de jure ducal claims. When I needed only a couple of coins to form the Kingdom of Ireland, my old king died (was leeding troops at the age of 73, being maimed in one of his last battles), and... the realm goes in disrepair! Civil war emerges, every one of my vassals rise against me, brother included.
I took a breath and realized that I was playing for almost 5 hours, 3 AM. Preordered right away in Steam.

hehe I love how the AI von Habsburgs somehow became Holy Roman Emperors in 1106 in my game. Don't ask me how they did it .

I love when people close your thread on this forum without any reason
If you have a problem with a moderator closing a thread of yours you are to contact that moderator via a PM. You are not supposed to post about it on another thread.
You should ALWAYS educate your heir yourself, gives you some control over how they turn out.
Even tho it's a pain in the arse on occasion, I like the fact that you can't just raise mountains of troops in recently conquered territories. It makes expansion a matter of planning, not just steamrolling.
I did William the Bastard too. My Robert was an insanely good King. His brothers blackmailed William into changing succession to Gavelkind, and then war broke out when William died. Robert beat them all down and got the title Robert the Cruel, took all his nephews as wards, and turned the war-torn England of his father and made it stable and wealthy. And he was incredibly long-lived. I made it to 73 and had Prestige of nearly 3000. He also got excommunicated twice. I love how I end up getting a feel for the characters themselves. William was a warrior and a general. Robert put down a lot of rebellions, but he was just a hard man. He banished so many nobles.
