Am I missing something? Except the fact that you've amassed 82k with 2 counties. How'd you do that? Impart your wisdom.

Queen has king as lover, but he hasn't her as lover, but a courtier (IIRC he was a husband of Oysteinns sister)
And when he went dead, the queen still loves the king, but he doesn't love her)
At least within the tab
At least that's what I'm trying to show:eek:

About money, it's just my defence against anyone for a couple of centuries (and the reason I have my blasted duchy) *consoled*:eek:
Just want to play on that island as independent norse, never ever leaving for any conqust (will see how long I will be undisturbed by Purple Byzzie Blob and Abbasid Blob of Doom):eek:

Got some interesting pics from my finished ironman Karling game, I saw for the first time the chronicle events in years nothing much happened, some floods, bountiful harvests and this.They repeat a bit, but funny touch nevertheless.
chronicle.jpg

It was a fun game, the Golden Horde managed to get most of the de jure Empire of Tartaria, then disintegrated but left a lot of independent Mongol rulers, including this Volga Bulgaria that for some reason converted into Slavic. Both Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate went Sunni.

Byzies fought the Abassids for the entire game, and despite having them across the Bosporus and in their backyard in Bulgaria kept fighting for a single county far away...

The Byzantines really have a strange obsession with Persia. In one of my games they conquered all the way to Khiva(!) while leaving Antioch in Abbasid hands...

Well, they are the Roman Empire, it must come naturally

You dont know it, but Byzantium needs a replacement of the Sassanids!!. They are depresed after their dead because they lost his natural enemy.

Agreed. It's extremely annoying. Alania, Azebaijan, and Mesopotamia all seem much more heavily weighed for the Byzantines than Antioch, Jerusalem, or even Anatolia. There's been a load of complaints about this, in several threads devoted to the issue... I just hope the developers have taken notice.

Here's another example - which made me drop an otherwise enjoyable playthrough and destroy that Ironman save. It was from the Alexiad start, so please note that Byzantium has not lost the intervening areas (though Kartli has gained independence for some reason): it's just gone straight to the route Kartli-Armenia-Chaldaea-Azebaijan-Tabriz. And I hate it.

Byzantine Theocracy!
How I have no idea but It happened. Suffice to say I left that Catastrophe waiting to happen and formed my own empire.

They also have an obsession with Persia even when the Catholics came in and Crusaded half the holy land away. Byzantines just let the Arabian Empire gobble it all back up for free and colonized Persia.

Also Homosexual Genius Warrior Pope with lovers Pox. My dynasty is coincidental, cant keep track of them all. Wonder what he'll do with his time as the Holy Father.

Alfr Hjalmarsson didn't actually rule for 222 years. He was some distant relative who I ended up playing as after I lost all my titles (the duchy of Brittany at the time) in a single holy war. Apparently this made all the rulers before him disappear from the game over screen.
