Crusader Kings II: Bohemia campaign - Perm, Ireland

-

Elevanth Crusade. This time, I truly wanted the target kingdom i.e. the Kingdom of Perm, as it was just next to my realm. Also, my vassal king (think it was only the King of Chernigov) lost to them at least twice. Poor him.

I know I can take the stance of getting the title for myself as back up plan but as always, I checked the other option: was there any dynastic member who was parent of a vassal king?

Since the list of my vassal kings/queens was too long, I used the filter instead to search for non-ruler adult dynastic member, sorted from the oldest first. Then I notice my wife somewhere at the top: she was already 70 years old. I kept forgetting that she was of the same dynasty. Our oldest son would inherit both of realms. Excellent.

The crusade ended pretty quickly i.e. at around only 50% warscore. Last I checked, I was ahead in contribution at 56%, with the nearest competition, a duke, at 8%. Although newly 'freed' Perm's succession law was Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture (my realm was purely Agnatic), the first four sucessors were the same as that for Slavic Union (and all other titles I held, as they were all of the same succession law as the empire). Coupled with the fact that my wife was already 72 years old, it was pretty safe to assume that Perm would fold into my realm in the near future.

Finally my 78 year-old mother passed away, outliving my father who was 9 years younger than her. With that, the Kingdom of Perm passed to me.

Normally, I would grant the kingdom to an existing vassal king so that it would increase the number of vassals. I had just a small buffer before hitting the limit and that buffer was needed for vassals in civil war against their lieges. However, I noticed that my brother and his son were 2nd and 3rd in line to succeed me (as an aside, I couldn't figure out how my heir was related to me!). So I granted the kingdom to my brother.

Before that, my English king succeeded in pressing a claim on an Irish county for his vassal. That was enough for me to create the Kingdom of Ireland. I then succeeded, with gift of gold, to vassalise the remaining Iris noble rulers who controlled the remaining 9 counties of Ireland. Needed to wait a while for a powerful duchess to finish her war, where she lost a city to my indirect vassal grand mayor. Peaceful unification :)

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...
