Toward a Slavic Germany: A Crusader Kings II Let's Play

[Avindian]

My most recent LP, as Novgorod in EUIV, failed miserably. Since the #2 option was to play as Brandenburg in Crusader Kings II, we will do exactly that! Specifically, we will play as High Chief Milyduch of Sorbia in the 769 start.

Objectives
1. Survive.
2. Capture as much of Germany and Italy (i.e. the Holy Roman Empire) as possible.
3. Try to use marriages and assassinations more and war less (this is a personal challenge to make things more interesting).
4. Remain Slavic and avoid conversion to the best of my ability.

The first episode will be posted 1 August 2017!

Episode #1:

The video actually went up this morning, but I didn't have a chance to paste it here.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Well at least that started off quieter than your EUIV Novgorod LP.

Episode #2:

Episode #3:

 

[Michaelangelo]

Well those high chiefs didn't last long. The original high chief's wife is going to outlive all her children and grandchildren at this rate.

Episode #4:

 

[Michaelangelo]

I half expected another disaster, but it finally turned around for you near the end. Bohemia really took their time.

Episode #5 (Processing now, should be viewable in roughly ten minutes):

 

[Michaelangelo]

King is certainly a nice title, provided you can hold onto it. Not very pleasant having all your vassals hate you.

 

[Avindian]

Episode #6:

Please note that, beginning next week, I'm shifting to a five game, one episode a week format for the channel. Each episode will be about an hour long.

 

[Michaelangelo]

That West Francia was a bit nerve-wracking, but at least that seems to be sorting itself out.

Episode #7:

Episode #8: (Will be live in fifteen to twenty minutes)

 

[Michaelangelo]

I suppose kinslaying is one way to regain your titles from gavelkind. The one holding the titles you want dying in battle works just as well too. I also find it quite amusing that you ended up playing the heir who offed you.

 

[Avindian]

Episode #9 (now processing, should be available soon):

 

[Michaelangelo]

I may have been impatiently mumbling to myself when you were looking for how to reform to feudalism. "Decisions! Decisions!"

I suppose now comes the dilemma of reforming the faith, a daunting task, or embracing the White Christ. I doubt either will go smoothly.

 

[Avindian]

If we were German Pagans life would be easier, but as Slavic pagans, I think reforming will be too difficult. We shall have to see.
