Crusader Kings II: Crusade, Denmark, Mistake, Burial

-

The Pope declared crusade on Kingdom of Nenetsia and I was interested in getting this kingdom because it was next to my realm, despite not liking that area due to low supply limit. Unfortunately, its leader was captured so early before I could take the lead in the crusade. Damn. Curiously, it was my duke vassal who contributed the most to the crusade and the kingdom went to his nominated beneficiary.

 

I suddenly found out that I had a weak claim on Kingdom of Denmark, and it so happened that the heir to the throne was a child. Hehehe.

So I plotted to murder the then King of Denmark:
(1) Succeeded but they had a change of heir (Agnatic Elective) and he was an adult. Meh. However, the new heir was also a child.
(2) Barely had 100% plot power. Failed and my complicit was made known. Yikes.
(3) Succeeded and the kingdom was then placed under regency. Declared war!

That war went fine, without problem. However, just further than midway, the Polish King died, leaving a child as the next king. I checked the list of claimants and spotted a couple of kinswomen having a weak claim on the kingdom.

So I stood down my armies (who were sieging Denmark) to press claim on Poland but I couldn't find those kinswomen. I thought maybe I waited a day for the game to update but due to lag, that turned into two days. By then, the young Polish King had joined the Christian defensive pact against me. Grrr. The kinswomen still didn't appear when I clicked "Declare war" but there was a kinsman. Damn! I must have had missed it earlier.

 

First encounter with this event. Likely because I now have a Mausoleum Great Work.

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...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
