Crusader Kings II: Bohemia campaign - Carinthia, Maghreb

-

So, right after this child-king ascended the throne, game told me that Kingdom of Carinthia might leave my realm upon succession. His heir was the King of Nubia and the second in line was the Nubian king's son, who wasn't the heir to Nubia though due to elective succession law.

I thought killing the Nubian king would solve the problem, although it might be temporary, depending on whether his son then became next in lin to inheirt Nubia. But my plot power was only about 60% and the single attempt was botched, angering both father and son.

Then for whatever reasons, the heir to Carinthia was switched the the young Nubian prince. I wasn't sure and so I checked and confirmed this: where a title leaves or comes into the realm depends on the primary title of the successor. So, if the Nubian prince becomes king and then later inherit Carinthia, the latter would leave my realm because Nubia is his primary title.

Hence, the solution, all along, is to kill the young Carinthian king so that the Nubian prince would first be King of Carinthia and thereby making that his primary title. If he later inherits Kingdom of Nubia (not a a guarantee, due to elective succession law), then that kingdom will become part of my realm.

 

The 9th Crusade was called for Maghreb. I scoured and managed to find 3 female dynastic members who were mothers of 3 different vassal kings. I chose my sister, who was the mother of King of Andalusia (&Leon), simply because it made geographical sense.

 

Much later, the Kingdom of Crusader Maghreb and the Kingdom of Maghreb, both won by crusades, folded into my realm.

Crusader Maghreb took a long time: it was granted to my current ruler's grandaunt, who didn't have any children and so her heir was my grandfather and then my father (second in line) but she outlived both of them. Hence, it went to my uncle and finally folded within my realm when it was passed on to his son who was my vassal King of Denmark, which was fortunate because I certainly didn't plan that route!

As for Maghreb, my younger sister, the ruler, died in battle and then it passed on to her son who was my vassal King of Andalusia & Leon. Curiously, upon this inheritance, he immediately switched his primary title to Leon. Interesting.

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?
