Crusader Kings II: Deheubarth campaign - 5 wars, Chernigov, Infidel Denmark

-

Won all 5 quite handily. Maybe I should have declared war on Ragusa too. I decided not to because its ruler had always hired huge stack of mercenaries and I wasn't sure how the other wars would go.

Unfortunately, I forgot to note down or show which were the other 4 wars @@

 

Every now and then I checked which realm was out of defensive pact against me. At one point, there were two revolts in Chernigov but I had no casus belli to declare war against them. As expected, Chernigov itself was in the Christian Defensive Pact against me.

Later, I noticed that there was only one revolt and the King of Chernigov wasn't in a defensive pact. I surmised that the leader of one of the revolts won their war and thus a new king was installed. I noticed that someone in my court had a claim on the kingdom and that fortunately I had a spare county to be used to vassalise him. Hence, I pressed his claim to the kingdom.

To ensure that the other revolt didn't make any more progress (they were at 30+%), I sent an army to crush them and also to occupy their land and capture land that they had captured from their king.


Upon the death of any vassal, I usually would check out the new vassal, chiefly to try to place a Welsh as a guardian to the heir. I was shocked to discover that the new Queen of Denmark was of the Shia religion. My first direct vassal who was an infidel.

Since I had High Crown Authority (need at least Medium), I could revoke her kingdom title for "free" i.e. didn't annoy vassals in general. Of course it annoyed her greatly and, apparently, it would annoyed slightly (-5 penalty in opinion) any other Shia vassals.

The most obvious choice of who to grant this kingdom to was the Swedish king as most of his realm was next to Denmark. Hopefully he would continue the realm's expansion into Scandinavia.

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...
