    I like playing sports, but watching them... well, there aren't many better ways of putting me to sleep.

    You got my homework finished?

    THE KARLINGS RETURN!

    [​IMG]
    Though, irritatingly, because I was overzealous in spreading my dynasty across Europe and married every heiress I could find to my younger sons, a cadet branch of my house ended up inheriting the HRE before I had a chance to gobble it up for myself.

    The game isn't over until I'm Holy Roman Emperor, dammit.

    (Note: Playing vanilla, rather than CK2+, which is why this has been so easy on the whole)

    Yeah, I noticed it was vanilla due to the Karling CoA -- well, and the fact that they were named Karling instead of Carolingien.

    re: sports, they're amusing from time to time, but generally only when they represent international power politics, such as the Olympics. For instance, I enjoyed watching Olympic hockey in 2010 because the USA had defeated Canada in the opening rounds of pool play, which caused a national crisis for the Canadians -- if they lost to us in hockey, did they even have meaning as a nation anymore? It was the only thing they're good at! That's why I enjoy the Olympics: they offer the chance to demonstrate our vast superiority over the world. :p


    ....what? I'm not weird. :(

    Awwwwwwwwwww, c'mon man! Please don't flush my holographic Charizard down the toilet!

    So, update on Elder Kings mod: I've now consolidated most of Cyrodiil under my rule, and I have officially restored the borders of Skyrim. And my new king, Thorygg Wulfharth, is known as "The Iron-Hand". BADASS.

    Oh, I didn't really collect them. I thought the whole trend was stupid. However, Charizard was different. Charizard was exclusive.


    It was a status thing.

    Fact: the original Japanese name of the dragon-type Pokémon move "Outrage" is "Imperial Rage."

    Fact2: Apparently IE10 automatically adds accents to the word Pokémon.

    Yeah, Carolingian is my preferred name for the dynasty too but... eh, whatever.

    I'm not going to bother to mod CK2+ back in until the next patch/Old Gods.

    ? It's fully updated for the new patches and works great. I'm having my favorite ERE game right now (might just be that I am having an insanely successful run as House Iellon right now -- far more successful than my previous Doukid playthroughs).

    Random question for you CK 2 players, it has now happened thrice that I suddenly loose all my lands and at the end of that play month get told that I have become the ruler of a Republic and thus cannot keep playing. o_O

    1. Do you have the Republic DLC installed and were you playing as a vassal of a merchant republic who got independence but had a non-coastal capital?

    2. Is your capital holding a city, or did you some how find yourself in the line of succession for a republic because you were the vassal of a non-merchant republic?

    DLC is installed, but I was an independent ruler all 3 times (Holy Roman Emperor, King of Italy, King of Jerusalem respectively). Though I had conquered the Republics of Venice and Pisa when playing as King of Italy.

    Afaik yes, HRE had Austria, KOI it was Florence, KOJ had Jerusalem

    Not unless I really didn’t spot it, though when I was HRE I did marry one of my daughters of to the Doge of Venice.

    What I mean is, when you click on the county that your capital is in, what is the graphic you see in the main window? Is it a castle, a church, or a bunch of houses/buildings? Unless you're playing as a republic, your capital should always be a castle. If the primary holding of your capital county is a city or a bishopric, you'll get an auto-loss once it becomes your capital (presumably because you lost your previous capital, which was out of necessity a castle).

    So here is my Tumblr blog for GOT commentaries: http://lugija.tumblr.com/
    At the moment it only has an introduction and my predictions for the second season (hah, I was so unaware of how slowly Jon's story can move). My first commentary, besides being extremely short, didn't have a propaganda picture so I'm going to make one and correct the grammar of the post. I got laudatur from my English high school finishing test, so why can't I imperfect?

    Castles in all three cases and part of the rulers direct control. Which is what makes it so strange, as I know you can lose the game if you run out of counties you directly control, as there is no place to set up your capital.
