(Sideshows) PolishParliament.jpg

"Polish parliament" (Swedish and Norwegian: Polsk riksdag; Danish: Polsk rigsdag; German: Polnischer Reichstag; Dutch: Poolse landdag; Polish: Polski parlament) is an expression referring to the historical Polish parliaments (Sejm walny). It implies chaos and general disorder, and that no real decision can be reached during sessions.

Going off of the earlier "Karling/Abbasid collapse" in my current CK2+ Byzantine game, the Abbasids collapsed about 5 minutes after the start (867 I believe) into many, many warring states until I came to clean up the mess. I wasn't even responsible.

I was envious of my game where the abbasids and Karlings went boom in about 200 years.

You have no idea how envious of your game I am.....

Lol, I'm from Poland and I didn't even know about such expression. Kinda sad it's accurate.
It just keeps happening, too! If this dynasty manages more than 25 successions in the next 50 years, I will swear fealty to them. Clearly they're the most ambitious bloodline ever!

This guy seems to have everything going for him bar one little thing... He just can't sprog himself a son!
This is kinda funny because snorre, which kinda sounds like his name Snorri, means something, very relevant to this, in Swedish.
Penis, it means penis

I am pretty sure someone posted this already...

...but it's still funny. So I am playing zoroastrian turks, managed to carve my own empire around Crimea and married my sister. We got a very interesting daughter: attractive genius inbreed. Like a beautiful mind or something, I guess ;)

The Shia Caliph of Egypt calls for a Jihad for Bengal. There are no Muslims in India.

Karlings should implode most of the time in the CM start date, usually Karlomann has to beat his brother.

I still dont understand why the abbassids will just straight up implode immediatley, I cant imagine its decadence cause I have seen huge Abbablobs with 100% decadence for multiple generations.

Personally, I think it's heavily dependent on where the revolts spawn. The Persian mountains have killed way more soldiers than the Caliph's armies ever did, in my experience. (And once in a blue moon, they help the revolts by having the Caliph's doom stack starve in his own lands)

I dunno on very hard the AI is pretty immune to attrition, yet I see the Abbablob once in a blue moon disappear into the aether.

Maybe not strange, but hella lucky.

Been bashing my head against the Zoroastrian and Zunist starts, so went for a break with 867 Byzantium to snag that SPQR achievement. After some bumbling in marrying the King of Italy's daughter and Leon taking an unfortunate axe to the face in battle, I got Basil's Italian Catholic grandson on the throne.

Well, no biggy, fight off some rebellions and set up my heir to be trained by the Patriarch to be a good Greek Orthodox so things'll settle down....and y'know, just for giggles I'll have my chaplain 'Research Culture' for the few years before my heir becomes a man.
