Crusader Kings II: Deheubarth campaign - Byzantine Revolt, assist Rashka & Sweden

-

I've been keeping an eye on my vassal King of Sweeden and Duke of Rashka who are both warring on the Tsar of Bulgaria, for different claims, in trying to decide whether they needed help. I could only help one of them, since it's the same enemy they warred upon.

I decided to take action when I saw that while the duke was ahead in warscore and had army that could still beat the tsar's army, the king was on the way to giving up his gains because the enemy focused on him. It was logical since the king's remainder army was much smaller.

Then suddenly I noticed that there was a revolt in the Byzantine Empire that just started and that there was a county held by the rebels that I could press for my vassal grand mayor. Incidentally, the rebels wanted to install my son-in-law as the emperor.

Hence, I first declared war on the Byzantine revolt faction and then, after positing my army, asked to join the King of Sweden's war. Since I had the capacity, I also crushed the Byzantine's emperor's army, the biggest then since he hadn't gathered all of them yet, to ensure that the revolt war didn't end before I could finish mine.

I quite quickly achieved 100% warscore against the Tsar of Bulgaria, thanks to existing gains by my king and duke. I wanted to make sure the duke could win and so decided not to enforce demands yet. I chased and crushed the enemy's largest stack and then aimed for their capital.

Soon the Duke of Rashka won his war and so I then enforced demand on the Tsar of Bulgaria.

As for the war on the Byzantine revolt, I extended it a little beyond the 100% warscore to defeat the Byzantine's emperor, as a small favour for my son-in-law who was married matrilineally to my daughter :D

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?
