Crusader Kings II: Bohemia campaign - Georgia, Ghana

-

I nearly landed the heir to the Kingdom of Georgia (who readily accepted the invitation to come to my court) with a barony but I forgot that he needed at least a county so that I could grant him one of my titular kingdom title.

Coincidentally, I could imprison one of my weakest vassal king for 'righteous' reason i.e. I discovered his plot. As expected, he rebelled (had about 34% chance to imprison). I won but couldn't revoke his kingdom title because there was being contested by another vassal king. Fortunately, I could revoke one of his counties. Granted that county and then a titular kingdom title to the Georgian heir. To guarantee that I would get a vassal King of Georgia, I plotted to kill the current king.

Unfortunately, the King of Georgia was pressing his claim on the Empire of Bulgaria and my new count also had a weak claim on that empire. If he gets the empire, that would be his primary title and he would be an independent ruler, bringing along whatever titles and land that I had bestowed on him.

Lacking of ideas, I donated large amount of money over a period of time to the Empress of Bulgaria. I even got rid of the local rebels at her capital county lol. Evidently, her economy was tanking: she spent more than she earned. That did slowed down dramatically the progress made by my new vassal King of Georgia but didn't reverse it. An indirect vassal duke was also pressing claim to the empire omg.

Eventually, luck favoured me: the king died, the war was canceled and his daughter didn't have claim on the empire. Phew! The empress could then turned her warscore around against my duke.

 

The 12th Crusade: I wanted the Kingdom of Ghana and so I was fortunate to have found a dynastic female member who was the Queen of Italy (her husband held the kingdom title) and mother to my vassal King of Arabia. She was 64 years old and so I was reasonably confident that Ghana would fold into my realm before this campaign ended.

 

Welcome to the Slavic Union :)

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
