Proudest moment in CK II?

[Otto Bismarck]

Playing my mod when...

Surviving a war as Pamplona(Navara) with only 5 counties or so while facing the entire blob of Al-Andalus. I didn't win but managed a white peace with the help of Asturias.

not my proudest ( which would of been going from a count to a king in Ireland for the first time. (I have done a lot more since then, but i was darn proud the first time i did that.)

but the moment that my family thought I had gone nuts was that my family did the reconquista in a long lifetime. (Note to self, marry a good brother to a princess of the HRE, then give him a kingdom, he and the HRE will do a lot of the legwork.)

The Kingdom of Galicia was in easy control of a cedet branch of my family, the main branch controls Granada, I gave Seville to the knights of St. John (which turned out to be a brilliant move, as they keep the North Africans from easy assaults into Iberia. ) Castile adsorbed Leon (but is of my family due to marriage and a unfortunate death of the heir (oops), the rest of the Christian kingdoms had done nothing, Barcelona went Barcelona -> Muslim -> French -> Danish (don't ask), and Navarre is a basketcase)

The rest of Iberia is the Kingdom of Protugul, which has expanded like Prussia and goes from Sea to sea, and has taken a chunk of North Africa too, lead by the very able 74 year old Legitimized bastard who was a brother to the grandfather of my current ruler. He had 9 kids, the only male dying at 17 due to illness. For the last two generations the main line has been looking on rooting for a Male Heir to keep it in the family. A specific chaste wife fell off a roof and another one who got old found a viper. then at age 74, with is north African wife, he produces a son.

As soon as i saw that I shouted "Its a miracle!!!" loudly since i had earphones on.

My family thought I had lost it.

Now lets hope this guy can make it in his 90s so his son can be almost a adult when he takes over his kingdom, which will be one of the more powerful ones west of the HRE once I divest of my crusader state.

Beating the Byzantines as the King of Croatia without losing a single man.

Getting the Carolingians back in power, then completely eradicate every male line descendant of any capet.

That was sweet.

When one of my rulers was female queen of Ireland and married a claimant to the Byzantum empire. The empress went incapable starting a massive war for the throne were 3 separate factions with claims executed wars. My Ruler started a war for her matrilnial married husband to be put on the throne and I won the massive claim dog pile.

My husband became known as the Bewitched and the Empire's doux spent his entire reign trying to prevent my son from inheriting the throne. Launching several wars and factions to change succession laws and or directly depose him. Quite fulfilling to see my outside family supplant Byzantium power and inherit the throne.

Also fun fact by the end of my husbands reign I checked and their were so many rebellions every reigning doux was blind and every male was also castrated.

I started out in Wales as a Duke. I joined the crusade for Jerusalem, and at the end I came out the victor in the Pope's eyes. I ruled for so long I converted the entire area I owned the Welsh/Caths... lol I never used one cheat. I was allied with Sweden, I had many generations intertwined with that Kingdom. I finally ended up losing my hold, the Muslims united against me and I had no help from the Pope or other Caths... I think my house ended up with over 300 members. My house had counts/dukes etc. all over Europe.

In my recent Mali game the Carolingians are back in charge of France. no idea how it happend but It's the only time I've seen the AI pull it off.

 

[snoopdogg]

Creating a strong Sicily, and actually keeping it, in spite of two jihads.

 

[FietsPomp]

Survived as Abyssinia, Turned catholic and became the sunni caliph emperor (old vanilla)

 

[unmerged(533203)]

Killing 132 (I made a Tally) Fatimids and Abbasids, so there were no remaining Sayyids left. Except for those decedent from my Mat-married daughter to a Fatimid. For no reason other than because I could.

Being the heir to the HRE as the King of Italy without bribes, etc. but apparently by having awesome traits and a powerful kingdom. If I don't win I may go back to the save and actually pursue it someday. Otherwise my proudest moment will be if finish the game through until the game end -- I have 150 or so hours into the game and 110 years to go.

Most of my games, the Carolingians die out unless I give them some help. (I have a habit of inviting great houses to my kingdom, and give them some land to live off, the Jimenas and Capets excluded. Dunno why, but I really don't like any of them.. probably to do with some games back in CK1..)

 

[Nax24]

Proudest time?
Probably creating my first empire, empire of Hispanic as Castile, or empire of Britania, or dethroning that bastard HR Emperor when he tried to imprison me, and 10 years later replacing his son with a tusacnian duke, and causing the biggest freaking HRE revolt in the games history

 

[Nax24]

Or probably the last thing having my daughter marry matrinealy to a guy with a claim on Scotland, pressing it, and now having my kingdom and Scotland intertwined

 

[Goodfortune99]

Forming roman empire after starting as Spartenos dynasty.

 

[mr_human_555]

Proudest moment?
Of course the moment when I rose from a minor count in Ghana to the Emperor of Spain!

Restoring the Vermandois line of Carolingians to glory, as kings of France and emperors of the HRE (with a number of assorted sub-kingdoms).

 

[Ontos]

2 of them. I'm new to the game, so I don't have much.

Conquering Byzantine Empire as the King of Ireland, Wales and Sicily (My king, Tadg IV of Ireland, had a weak claim over Byzantine because his mother was a Byzantine Princess, and there was an empress on the throne at the time fighting off civil wars). Empire dissolved in a few months right after I captured it, but it was so entertaining to see an Irishman rule over Byzans.

Second one is holding onto England as Harold Godwinson. I defeated both Harald Hardrada and William the Conqueror in battle with the same army (William lost because he attacked across a river. My army was outnumbered, but we won). Now, William's just an ordinary Norman duke in France while Harald is sitting in Norway without a claim to the English throne.
