Obligatory: What Will You Play First?

[Choombi]

Hasn't anyone been paying attention ? Are you all MAD ?! The devs clearly stated that major diseases will travel along the Silk Road and will be more likely in provinces that have high prosperity and or Trading Posts.

The answer is obvious. Burn it all down ! Every last trade post, every last building and if need be every last holding. Start as King Karl in the CM start, go nomad and and turn all of Western Europe into a charred, barren hellscape.

It's the only way to avoid catching the plague, can't you see . . . ?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Thanks to the de jure changes in France, I'd been planning on playing someone in France for a few days. It was a toss up between attempting a Carolingian restoration as Herbert or bringing the Occitans to glory as the Duke of Aquitaine. I went with the latter.

ERE. I'm old fashioned and totally dig hats.

Palaiologos, 1279 -- gotta try those new Byzantine hats.

Similarly, my next game after that will be Ethiopia --- maybe 769 for a change since I never play that (I'm usually on SWMH/HIP instead of vanilla).

Just started a custom Duke of Spoleto under the Pope in 1220. Playing Borgia-esque, all intrigue, getting as many of my family members as Popes as I can before the game ends.

Turns out, I decided to fire up Stanford Bridge and play as Harold II.

Surprisingly, I actually won.

Abbasids (Sayyid) turned Berber then going for Saoshyant then Byz/Roman Empire.

Next game after that will be more chill as some lower level duke in some random place and let history play out around me.

One of the Jimena brothers which has been my favorite since CKV. Brutal war between family members and against the heathens can't go wrong.

I had this plan for a while to play as some place I went on my last holiday. Since that was Norway, I'll probably pick one of the independent chiefs in the south in the Old Gods start and see what I can do from there. I could go with good old Harald Fairhair, but we wouldn't want it to be too easy now?
