    At the moment, Tides of the Nations is on a long hiatus while I continue to redraft the first part. If you're interested, the second draft of the first part of Fashions Made Sacred has been completed and posted on the forum at sealionpress.co.uk
  2. Look to the West Volume V: To Dream Again

    I’m not sure that’s right. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember at some point (possibly several volumes ago), it was established that the Diversitarian ideal in theory (if, perhaps, not in practice), is that no two individuals would ever share precisely the same opinions...
  3. Look to the West Volume V: To Dream Again

    Every Diversitarian country teaches the theory of evolution as fact, but they also teach that their friendly rival [nearby Diversitarian country] censors the theory of evolution and teaches in their science classes that the Earth was created about 10,000 years ago.
  4. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    The Slavic invasions penetrated through the entirety of what we now thik of as Greece; on Europe, only Thrace itself remained completely outside of Slavic power and settlement — Slavs settled even in the heartland of the Peloponnese, though, that far south, the majority of residents were still...
  5. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Continuing on from my last bit about this, let me tell you a bit about Khatun Shaharah the Fury of the Najibid Khaganate. Shaharah came into her right in the midst of battle, only aged 20; a skilled warrior, she was atop the saddle commanding the left flank as her father, Najib II the Terror...
  6. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    For my part, I usually play dynamic; if I use historical, I end up planning it in advance, and that’s just not fun for me.
  7. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    After a few false starts, I finally found a game I got some serious playtime into a game. I decided to make a fairly conservative random world, with no changes to culture or religion, but vast changes to technology and government, heavy on nomads and tribes, and got rid of all de jure kingdoms...

    Portugal, perhaps? At the moment I can't remember whether they're already in the war or not and if so which side.
  9. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    A lot of wives of notable menaren’t recorded in history, particularly in earlier periods, or if they were from a non-notable background; nevertheless, their notable legitimate children are recorded, so they certainly existed, even if we know nothing about them. Also, younger children who never...
  10. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Just as in OTL, all vassals want to run their own lands and possibly acquire more without interference from the Crown. Your vassals will naturally always want to increase council power in order to weaken the Crown and the central authority that you represent. The challenge is to keep your...
  11. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    The way the mechanic works, it looks like it’s primarily aimed at replicating the specific dynamic of relations between the Catholic monarchies with the Catholic Church in general and the Papacy in particular; it’s not just a generic event. Whether the Pope sanctioned a man taking the throne...
  12. Europa Universalis IV - 13 August 2013

    In the technology screen, there is a button in the menu which will allow you to look at the institutions. Within that, it will allow you to embrace an institution which you have not yet embraced as a country. In order to embrace an institution - like the Renaissance - 10% of your nation’s...

    Fantastic, Beata.

    Very good start. Intriguing.
