You know you've been playing this game too long when...

You overhear your wife and mother in law talking about getting you to go along furniture shopping at the weekend, and promptly banish the mother in law whilst asking your wife to "End the plot"

Of course she does because she "dares not refuse"

... a friend asks you to take care of their children and you think: "Great! Now they won´t declare war on me, I have hostages!"

Trust me, it's game over the day you get married.

precisely. and remember, matrilineal means that the chicks family takes responsibility for the kids! bonus!

I think my ex-wife has the kinslayer trait - she murdered me (literally, not physically).

When you have a map of Medieval Europe on your wall with Pins and Marker drawings representing Alliances, Rivalries, Dynasty members and Future Conquests.

When you start forgetting canon history and think what you've done is historically correct.

That! That is what I intend to do this summer, after repositioning furniture to get enough space on the wall! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

When you start learning and studying all about Medieval Europe to really understand its idiosyncrasies, oddness, brutality and realise that you are not the only gamer out there that is not alone in doing this. Thank you Paradox, for (a) making me read (b) wishing I had studied Medieval Europe in Uni and (c) for the best educational gaming company in the world. Kudos.

Think the Swedish King is granting honorary titles just so his vassals won't revolt.

And that to be granted one you have to hate him.

This, this all the way.

 

[Arcvalons]

You assign traits to people you know

 

[Kolprock]

...you start pondering whether you could possibly expand your personal demesne by seizing the apartment next door, currently 'occupied' by infidels... - with help from these guys!

 

[Gedierond]

You wish your kids end up being lustful and hedonist.

 

[SaintEsteban]

You find your son's current wife lacking, and hope he fathers and legitimizes a bastard in the hopes of passing on his genius trait.

^ This.

You mean wales didn't become a vassal of England and then slowly but surely over 100 years eat it up from the inside untill nothing but wales was left and then declare independance? Making it so the douchy of normandy is the only place left called England and Wales being all of great britain?
