No, man, since 1.05 she is supposed to plot her rivals' deaths, not yours. Just don't legitimize any bastards! :D

haha I asked my wife what she would do if I had some bastards with another woman :p got those evil eyes and was told she would kill me, so maybe the wife plotting to kill you after making bastards is more realistic then her plotting to kill the other woman lol :)

You asked your wife that? *tnick0225 gains the trait brave*

And to add on that, you know you have played too much CK2 when you start thinking in terms of traits when people complete an action. For example: Mother said the holidays would be a fun time for the whole family. Mother gains the trait deceitful.

I know I pretty much get "wroth/wrath" every time the phone rings.

"He answers phone. 70% chance it's a sales call. 40% chance of gaining the wroth trait.

I gained the deceitful trait by allowing the sales call representative tell me the blessings of aluminum roofing only to admit twenty minutes later that I live in an apartment. :)

But seriously, does anyone have a reliable system for assigning their children guardians. I want my daughter to become "midas-touched." She is my sole heir, so I don't mind if she becomes ambitious, but I would discourage her from flipping cultures.

I get the patient and deceitfull trait; I wait for them to speak first and then hang up if I don't recognise the voice.

When you think of people in terms of traits and try to figure out what their score is.... then decide they'd make a decent mentor.

You decide that your current wife is over the age limit for reproducing and you wonder if 2 sons and 3 daughters are enough.

You have gavelkind succession and make the second son a bishop :D

So I'm all set with the one son and three daughters, excellent (he's of age, but all I hear is "desires better alliance").

When you start wishing the world reverted back to the good old days of absolute monarchy and nobility.

This is actually the beginning of true wisdom, not proof you've been playing too long.

When you see a map and inform your friends that you once conquered great territories on that given map.

I actually do this quite a lot, in some way. I'll ask my friends what they've been up to lately, but as the sub-human degenerates they are, they merely manage to do such things as "hanging out" or "studying", whilst I prefer doing important, noble tasks such as conquering Jerusalem in the name of God. And they call themselves "men." Pft.

Definitely done that. Every day in my government class instead of paying attention (the teacher just plays movies.... public education FTW) I draw the CK map and shade it in with all the territories I've conquered in the last day. Then hand them to my polite friend who gives less than half of a frank about video games, but keeps all of my drawings :)
