  1. How Can European Antisemitism Be Stopped or Reduced?

    AFAIK the first pogrom was in Hellenistic Alexandria while it was still largely a pagan city. Jews, as long as they remained Jews, were always going to be "the Other" and a target of more or less restrained hatred.
  2. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Unfortunately faction system is annoying and broken :( Can't say I had an enjoyable game since 1.08
  3. Prussia defeated - The fate of Poland?

    AFAIK, during the 7YW there were talks of Poland being given East Prussia in exchange of Polish Livonia and Courland going to Russia.
  4. AHC/WI: False Dmitriy I Creats a Lasting Dynasty?

    The Polish King (Sig III) was not particularly involved at this point.
  5. AHC Let Rakoczi Ferenc's bloodline marry into the European royalty

    Louis XV married the daughter of a failed pretender to an elective kingdom.
  6. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Yeah, I toyed with the idea of playing some vanilla since 1.08 seems to have fixed some of the more glaring issues, but in the end I've decided to wait for new versions of GoT mod and CK+ instead.
  7. DBWI the Mongolic Tribes made a giant empire?

    "Golden Horde"? Is this supposed to be fantasy? Do you also have the Mountain of Doom?
  8. Germanized Habsburg empire ?

    That's dangerous Lutheranist talk mister :mad:
  9. Germanized Habsburg empire ?

    That's a completely alien concept for the 16th century, and most likely beyond their organizational and financial means at the time.
  10. Other Potential Dynasties Taking Root in Russia

    About the Polish Vasas: In 1600, before the Times of Troubles, there was a Polish-Lithuanian diplomatic mission to Moscow offering a "Survival Pact" between Boris Godunov and Sigismund Vasa (the one who lived longer would inherit from the other). Of course, there was small issue of P-L crown...
  11. Whats your favorite kind of Russia?

    No option for Kievan Rus? It was an oppressive state openly discriminating non-Russians and largely impoverished, ignorant population. I don't see the appeal.
  12. WI: Capetian or Bourbon Ukraine

    You realize that the rulers of about half of eastern/central Europe were much closer "descendants of Rurikidis" than Capetians? That was only a single marriage while marriage pacts with neighbors were much more common.
  13. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Dungeons and Sieges (let you capture the rulers and/or families of rulers of place you're sieging). Family relations if it's already included.
  14. Europa Universalis 4

    I don't get the Steam hate.
