Idea for a quick fun game

[Hootieleece]

with the new patch coming tomorrow.I'm looking for a quick Fun game.I think I'm a competent player so I can suceed almost anywhere but....I'm sure most people will just give me Nubia as their choice.


pick a start and a date:And then tell me why it would be fun.

I have all DLC and NO Mods......if that makes a difference.



I will make my choice in 2hours.


PS. I would make an AAR of it if I could figure out screenshots and uploading to this Forum.

Sergios Spartenos, Count of Napoli 1066. Why It's fun? Try to turn the last catepan in to the unified emperor of East and West.

Edit; forgot to give start date.

 

[Hootieleece]

Sergios Spatenos it is then.......

He can certainly be entertaining. The Muslims want you dead, the Normen want you dead, the Italians want you dead and worst of all the dirty Genoans want you dead.

Staying independent is tough, Swearing to the ERE or HRE is the easy way out. Don't. Be the Despot supreme.

Game already over.....Genoans took Capua......they were fighting For Sardinia......with all their levies.I go to conquer Capua.(they still have recent conquest penalties)

Somehow they don't actually have to pay for Mercenaries they use.(300 gold before and after hire)Genoan Mercenary Company wipes out my levy.Norman King of Sicily Invades, I surrender.

Ouch, The Duchy of Charsianon in Anatolia is independent in 1071 if you still want a game, it's ruled by a Norman Catholic whose name escapes me ATM.

Please post a link to this thread if you do. I'm always looking to a new AAR to read.

Has OP done a house Karling game? Counts of Vermandois and the last successors of Charlemagne's legacy.

Another fun one is Frederik the 2nd, starts as King of Sicily as a boy (and becomes head of the HRE). Sicily is a powerful enough Kingdom with loads of potential, and starting as a child is always dangerous. You're unlikely to be elected Kaiser though. I believe he reigns in the early 1200s.

 

[Hootieleece]

I have done the Karling game......it was Fun.....became King of France......Hadn't become HRE Emperor though.I will have to revisit that start.


Now I'm just trolling for games to start with new patch........

An ERE count after the fourth crusade. Take the shattered throne. Retake Constantinople. Make vengeance upon the usurper empire. Restore the empire. Castrate the doge of Venice.

Alternatively, a count in the Latin Empire, make it what it might have been.

Zirid Sultanate in 1066 (my current game) you start as a Sultan but of only two counties and your potential vassals are all much more likely to simply wipe you out then become your vassal. To make it even better your one de-facto vassal has Tunis which is clearly better than your own county. The opening stage of the game is fun as you're immediately trying to survive and achieve dominance in what should be your Sultanate. (and even if you survive long enough to achieve that you've the Fatmids moving in from the East)

Emirate of Khwarizm. You are starting with 5 provinces and Your neighbours are Khiva (and after it Seljuk) and Cumans. You've got 150 years to prepare to... ekhm, to a visit of Your Mongolian friends. Cumans are nearby, Rus / Ruthenia are forming fast same as Volga Bolgaria, so You may expand only if they got serious problems. Oh, Alania and Georgia are nearby, but Byzantine tends to support them

Custom Greek Cathar, landlocked in Ireland

 

[Teutonizer]

Custom Greek Cathar, landlocked in Ireland

Custom Welsh miaphysyte in Napoli

The King of Georgia in 1066. An absolute blast, especially if the Seljuks have some succession problems early on and you can nab some land off a rebel.

 

[Ciccillo Rre]

The count of Cornwall in 1066. Will you be able to restore Celtic Britain from the last redoubt of the southern Britons in Albion?

 

[Hootieleece]

Thanks for all the ideas.Now just waiting for patch........

 

[Tokie]

Custom zealous duke of Sicily. Marry Matilda next door and help her gain independence and plot to usurp the ERE and turn it Catholic so you will have a chance to repel the Mongols and Aztecs mid game. Thats what i'll be doing!

 

[mr_human_555]

Try High Chief Kitquba of Aleppo, 1 Jan 1260. A Nestorian Duke with numerous muslim vassal counts, under the unstable Tengri Ilkhanate with Autonomous Vassal law

Can CK2 games ever be "quick"? What's the fastest game (to 1453) someone's played? My games take weeks to finish.
