<-- Nothing (sorry imperator fans) EU4 -->

By my friend @MothofSpacetime
Off in the deep primordial soup of the universe, the earth was created. Now let us fast-forward a bit to the year 1066 where Count Otger Rules over the small county of Spreewald, this is the adventure of his realm from 1066-1945

A few ideas I have

• That last surviving grandson of the Cnut the Great
• Matilda
• Haesteinn
• Hasburg count
• The easter egg guy they used to advertise the game
• El Cid
• Return the Copts/Kushites to Egypt
• Early Romania
• Polabia
• Basque
• Socotra
• Tanglehair/Fairhair
• Restore Isreal
• Last Karling in 1066
• Create Poland as the Piasts
• Make Greater Armenia
• Kingdom of Cornwall
• Tibet Restoration

• That last surviving grandson of the North Sea Empire
• Matilda
• Haesteinn
• Hasburg count
• The easter egg guy they used to advertise the game
• El Cid
• Return the Copts to Egypt

The long living guy who has 10 health

 

[Sunsteel]

I'll wait a day or so and then spin a wheel with all ideas

 

[NarcomancerPL]

From your ideas I like Easter egg guy, Polabia or Poland With the Easter egg guy he is on the border with both so it is a good compromise I guess

Kushites sounds good as well

Matilda and Haestein are boring choices. Please don't

Matilda and Haestein were kind of for padding before I had more ideas and I've got it down to

• Easter egg count
• Kushites
• El Cid
• Poland
• Last Karling

 

[Sunsteel]

I think I'm doing the Easter Egg Count because Poland would be boring and Kushites will get wiped in Vic3

 

[Sunsteel]

(I'm not great at writing/humor so if someone could give me pointers that would be great)
So here is Otger in all his "glory"

and his rival

Who I have quickly disposed of

and now I have started my first conquest against the minor count of Wittenberg

And he is quickly disposed of

Or maybe I don't have to write humor, the ai just does it for me

We now have an heir, he didn't get the intellect of his father or mother though

and another son already, it's only been a year (since the last one) this is going to make succession diffcult

and through copious amounts of cash, I now have a claim on my old rival's land

Time to get somebody else's my rightful land

Not My rightfully land was obtained

anyways, bye for now

 

[Sunsteel]

(I'm not great at writing/humor so if someone could give me pointers that would be great)
Another son I guess

And after a short war, another Definitely not rightful county has been added

And with the click of a button, I can claim the dutchy of Lausitz

And after a short war

I am now the new duke of Lausitz (I need a new name for it, so someone please tell me)

My heir grew up, he is not great

and Otger has died, sadly

and that's where we will leave it for now

 

[Sunsteel]

So, my plan is that this will be a full megacampaign (1066-1945) and it might be sort of a slow burn. Though, I do want to improve a lot seeing as how I'm not great at writing.

 

[MachopPower69]

Lausitz is Lusatia in German so you could keep it as Lausitz since you are Saxon

 

[Sunsteel]

Ok, I was wondering what the context behind that name was

 

[MachopPower69]

Another name you could do is Milcenia, which is probably another duchy in the game, probably named Meissen

Meissen is the one right next to it
(I'm not great at writing/humor so if someone could give me pointers that would be great)

Now it is time for the rule of Duke Laurentz
He has an heir already

And he tried to murder one of his younger brothers, so nobody likes him

And the old ruler of this land has started a liberty war oh noo

Another son now is not the time

That faction was crushed

A Crusade eh, this won't go well

Got Profagate due to stress

We lost, such a surprise, at least I got the crusader trait

Another son just great

My heir, not bad not good

So, umm let's see if I can push that later (this isn't even gamey, my ruler is greedy and ambitious, it makes perfect sense)

Another pesky child

and that's all for now.

You can still make Poland or Lusatia (or both) as the easter egg count

P.S.: You are right about Kushites would be converted as pagans in Victoria III (unless you mod it), but religion shouldn't matter in this period that much

Most African nations become unplayable in Vic3 due to becoming decentralized and I don't want to risk it

Isn't this dependent on Tech Group?

 

[HistoryDude]

Do you have gavelkind? If so, having so many sons might be an issue.

You're a random Saxon, right? Will you attempt to unite Germany?

You could attempt to kill off all of your stupid children... then the intelligent would inherit. Justify it as the rulers playing favorites!

Culture I think, either way it will most likely get wiped.
