Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

To those who were intrigued by the snippets above, I have started a proper Tusculani AAR over at the Paradox forums. If you are interested, please follow the link: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...ominus-urbis-a-house-of-tusculum-aar.1316705/

I kindly ask any readers to please not spoil Teodora de' Tusculana's section, which for now remains unknown to the reader-base at the Paradox forums. I've decided to flesh out Theophylact and Ercole before moving on to our favorite Pornocrat.
 
I've been working on an alternate history start for CKII, but since I not very good at writing code I started in shattered world and used console commands to shape the map. Here are some interesting characters, keep in mind that this is very much in progress.

Emperor Abbondio "The Young" of the Latin or Western Roman Empire. A gifted diplomat, during his short reign so far he has guided the empire towards peace and prosperity

Minor Viceroy Konstas "The Tyrant". Ruler over large parts of southern Italia, he has been giving in to his madness more and more.

Viceroy Imnachar, a Frankish adventurer who conquered the Kingdom of the Burgundians on behalf of the Emperor.
 
So, I bit the bullet and installed Steam to day to download CK2. I played for about 2 hours as Bolesław the Bold starting in 1066 and I have to say that despite it being vanilla I enjoyed it quite a bit (in spite of being pushed around by the Holy Roman Emperor).
 
I played a bit of After the End mod on Wednesday as the Duke of Metroplex in Texas but that was rather uneventfull.
What do you guys recon are the most interesting starts for this mod? (That you can play without any DLC).
I heard that Americanists and Cetics have a lot of content.

I also played GoT mod yesterday as good ol' Roose Bolton (Robert's Rebellion start date) and it was a lot of fun.

The Emperor has died and has been succeeded by his son and so now you must view the obligatory Jimenez-De Ivrea-De Altavilla (de Hauteville) family tree

Rogelio III passed away, murdered while having a private conversation with his niece. So I present to you the newly update family tree for Rogelio IV, his wife, and his firstborn son

My Americanist run that I started on Saturday didn't go as well as I hoped...

I started as Delmarva. My first ruler was Medicare at best but fortunately he died during the conquest of Philadelphia and was replaced by his much more capable 19 y.o. son.

Dude was a brilliant strategist and skilled fighter and his stats were average at worst. The vassals loved him.
The only thing that he lacked was Patriotism and Prestige but then New Jersey was taken over by the Hamiltonian heretics so I decided attack them (I even got the President to join me).

Then, obviously, during one of the last battles of the campaign I get the fuel event against a guy with -2 personal combat (while my dude had about 20). Then I got the event when I defeated that jobber but he stabbed me in the back while I was flexing before my troops. RIP

The heir was 5 so the regency started. First my new ruler's mom was the regent and things were ok but then she was fucked over by some balding mayor which make things somewath harder.

Then the Consumerist Prophet appeared in New York. I quit when after he took over New Jersey and most of Pennsylvania.

I will try to salvage it but I am affraid that it might be too late.
 
I just lost a save game where I restored the Roman Empire with a Apostolic Turkish Dynasty called Göktürk... I'd quite liked that one, but my computer and HIP do not get along very well it seems, damn it all...
 
150 years of cousin marriages in my Jimenez-De Ivrea-De Altavilla CK2 run and now the inbred trait has finally started popping up in some branches of the family
