Crusader Kings II: Deheubarth campaign - Handover, Vladimir, Armeniacon

-

I just started two wars (vs Vladimirian Revolt, and vs Ahamdid Emirate) when my then emperor passed away. Stood down armies so that I could declare war on Byzantine for a courtier's claim on a duchy, whom later I made a baron by giving him my newly constructed barony. I probably could have declared war on more fronts but oh well.

 

The previous claimant was a non-kinsman and I was waiting for the then King of Vladimir to die so that I could declare war for this claimant and make him my vassal (before the war ends, of course) by granting him my spare county/barony.

However, instead, the claimant died and I totally forgot that he was matrillienally married to my kinswoman (it had to be my doing) and so his claim passed on to his son. The Vladimirian king didn't rejoin defensive pact despite giving him more than a year to do so (I'm not taking advantage of that bug where each time I load a saved game, rulers start to leave the pact) and so I declared war on him.

Meanwhile, scary Khagan Timur had successfully conquered the Persia's part of Tuzon (my vassal was holding the other half) and shifted his capital to that region. We were now neighbours. Eeeek.


It had been a long time since a foreign ruler came to me with a marriage proposal. I was about to finish helping a vassal with his war against Amalfi when the Byzantine emperor approached me. I then declared war on him to press a courtier's claim to the Duchy of Armeniacon. That was the last 'spare' barony I could give away.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

-

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
