Strange Screenshots, Rome edition

[Nodscouterr]

Ever had an Alliance with a nation that disappeared centuries ago? Ever had Illyria demand tribute from you as a mega-power Rome? Want to share these screenshots? Well, this is the thread for you. If you ever stumble on a screenshot that really doesn't make sense, post it here for everyone too see. Hopefully, this thread will become at least as succesful as the one in the EU3 forums.

I'l start it off with this picture. Apparently, my King has made a rival in a 13-year old girl. Anyone care to explain?

 

[Descartes]

Ah yes, I wondered when we would get our own Strange Screenshots thread. We need it badly.
Your king must be a really cruel guy. He's persecuting a young girl whose only fault is being a bit lazy. Or maybe he's after her because she's content, maybe he doesn't want people to be content in his country?

And look...look at these names! I loove them.

There are set of events which deal with becoming rivals regardless of the character age. Once I experienced one of my character picked his own father as the rival, then demanded his banishment and when accomplished it he became his own rival because of it.

 

[Duke of Bavaria]

Freud would have had his pleasure with him.

 

[Niptium]

LOL at becoming its own rival.

Maybe your King tried to have relations with her. It would not be unheard of.

The "Vital Statistics" and "UnHygeinic" names make me suspicious.

They're simply embarrassing.

I didn't take a screen shot of it, but I had a juvenile monarch (6 years old) and got the you're the daddy of a royal bastard event . If it happens again I'll post a screen shot.

That event needs to check the monarch's age. Realistically, below 12 (or thereabouts) it shouldn't fire, and game-wise, it really shouldn't fire until the monarch is at least the age of majority in defines.txt.

Can anyone explain how the Pelasgoi came out of Arabia?

 

[Nodscouterr]

Continuing on the funny names part here you go: The one who must not be named:

 

[Cheexsta]

Yeah, I had that happen a lot pre-2.2. Lots of Roman family names mysteriously disappeared, and since female names are based off the family names they just had nothing. Was very relieved to see that fixed in 2.2.

The provinces around Arabia have coded events which can lead to spawning a barbarian horde even after they are successfully colonized/assimilated/converted/civilized. So these "greek" barbarians can carve their own client state if they are left alone long enough.

Yeah I know about the barb events and how they can create client states.

What's weird/strange/funny is "Pelasgoi" is a word for people who lived in Greece before the Greeks. I'm wondering why the barbs out of Arabia aren't called "Bedouins" or "Arabs" or something that makes some sort of sense. It's like having Celts coming out of the Sahara to sack Carthage.

The spawned horde has the religion/culture after the respective province and the tribal name is assigned accordingly. Thats why greek province spawned "greek" barbarians.

Time for some revival screenies.
Not that strange, but I think it's kinda cool how much the Militarists are dominating the senate :

Next up, Eburones hsave -1472.6 gold!!! That is... impressive.

And the last one, my High Priest apparently wants me to get spaceships or something, because I have no port, and Cantabri have no ships...

 

[unmerged(152202)]

my 14 year old emperor has been pretty naughty apparently.

 

[Zzzzz...]

I'm guessing that barbarians took control of Eburones and didn't disband its huge stack army. I could be wrong though.

I would love to know how you did that

Here's another one like the Pelasgoi in Arabia

Aquitanian barbs led by a Parthian

 

[Nodscouterr]

And he also wants to become the High Priest of the Greater Confederacy of barbarians of the meditereanean?
