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.

Unfortunately faction system is annoying and broken :( Can't say I had an enjoyable game since 1.08

AFAIK, during the 7YW there were talks of Poland being given East Prussia in exchange of Polish Livonia and Courland going to Russia.

The Polish King (Sig III) was not particularly involved at this point.

Louis XV married the daughter of a failed pretender to an elective kingdom.

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.

"Golden Horde"? Is this supposed to be fantasy? Do you also have the Mountain of Doom?

That's dangerous Lutheranist talk mister :mad:

That's a completely alien concept for the 16th century, and most likely beyond their organizational and financial means at the time.

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...

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.

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.

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.

I don't get the Steam hate.

Prussia was never part of HRE.

I don't think that's possible. Bohemia was part of HRE, Poland wasn't. I can't think of a single case of Imperial borders being expanded in post-medieval era.

Dunno, given how much effort was spend in 19th century trying to Germanize Poznan, such a sudden change in policy seems unlikely. Looking at some of the turn-of-the century maps, you even get the feeling that Upper Silesia and Masuria where more Polish than Poznan back then. I also seriously...

I thought you could disable autoupdating? You can also copy the whole game folder to some other place and play from there.

Some new CK2 stuff coming in April. 1.05 patch will include reworked crusaders. Also, there will be a DLC that let you design your character in-game. Cool, I guess.

Jerzy is not that odd of a name; it's a Polish version of George. As a native Polish speaker, there are names that make me shudder much more (like Wanko). I wish we could edit the prefered names for all dynasties: about 90% of Piast should be named Boleslaw, Wladyslaw, Mieszko or Kazimierz :)
