Rassid start with a god-king

[mackwolfe]

So I decided to try the Rassids for their awesome military ideas. They start with a Pretender rebellion with Random stats . So I re-rolled the campaign start until I got a pretender with good stats .Then by simply destroying the castle in the capital, the rebels will occupy 2 of 3 provinces without a fight and impose their demands by breaking the country.

Now I am enjoying my 4/6/4 8-pip general king stomping all the neighbors. Yemen is already unified. On to Arabia and the Unify Islam achievement...

Neat trick in case you ever run into a good pretender

Let him siege your capital, unsiege the other thing (prevents the instabreak), let him occupy your capital then kill the pretender amy.

This gives you the god king without setting him general.

he likely didn't know the trick to make a pretender NOT end up as general.

a trick i totally can't remember, by the way.

good to know this trick about avoiding a general from pretenders

when will we see another AAR? Just curious.

Hmm. I was debating whether to write this run up. If I do it , you will be first to know.

I got a 5/5/5 having fun creating an Indian Ocean trade empire with the awesome military Rassid ideas and going for the Protect The Secret achievement!

Oh yeah and Rassids have the pretty good Feudal Theocracy gov form, free claims on all neighbours!
