  3. After 6438543 years, I updated my Crusader Kings 2 storymode AAR thread ? I'm hoping to run the game through to the final date!

  4. Year 1130-1177: King Vid of Illyria Image: Vid's profile through the years. Vid’s reign was marked by a massive expansion of the family’s titles. In his early reign, Vid vassalized the Duchies of Bosnia and Slavonia, and legitimizing his rule over them by declaring the Knigdom of Croatia. He also brought his mother’s holdings in Padua into his realm, claiming them in a war with the Kingdom of Lombardy, and later inherited them himself, and secured the Kingdom of Bavaria into a long-term tributary treaty under the Kingdom of Illyria. However, his biggest achievement was the role he played in the Crusade for Jerusalem. Controlling Venice and a large part of the Adriatic coast, Vid was in important player in the holy war, and his contributions were so pivotal that when the Crusade ended successfully, Vid was elected by the Pope to be the protector of Jerusalem, granting him the Kingdom of Jerusalem. During his later reign, however, Vid could not conquer the final goal he had set for his reign - the Kingdom of Lombardy. Instead, in his old age, his son Krasimir was already acting as regent, and focus had to be turned inward after a civil war broke out. The rebellion was crushed, but the faction opposing Vid decided the old king should make room for his younger son, and Vid met an end under suspicious circumstances that were never resolved. His realm structure (personal titles in bold, vassals in italic, minor (baronial) titles not included, any title obtained or altered outside of his direct inheritance has dates included) : Kingdom of Illyria Duchy of Carinthia County of Aquileia County of Istria County of Kärnten County of Krain Duchy of Croatia County of Senj County of Veglia County of Zachlumia Duchy of Tyrol County of Chur County of Innsbruck Grand City of St. Gallen County of Tirol Duchy of Friuli County of Mantua County of Treviso County of Verona County of Padua [23.6.1138 - Conquered Vassal, 18.5.1149 - Inherited] Duchy of Dalmatia [3.2.1131 - Granted to Duke Ulfo Lanik] County of Split County of Zadar Republic of Venice Grand City of Venezia County of Steiermark County of Grisons Knights Templar [1.3.1165 - Vassalized by holy decree] Knights Hospitaller [13.3.1165 - Vassalized by holy decree] Kingdom of Croatia [13.10.1132 - Founded] Duchy of Slavonia [19.8.1132 - Conquered Vassal, includes lower titles, 4.2.1175 - Revoked] County of Krizevci County of Zagreb County of Varazdin County of Dubrovnik Duchy of Bosnia [1.6.1133 - Vassalized, includes lower titles] County of Usora Kingdom of Jerusalem [1.2.1165 - Founded as aftermath of Crusade, all lower titles conquered same day] Prince-Archbishopric of Oultrejourdain Grand City of Kerak Prince-Bishopric of Monreal County of Negev Duchy of Ascalon County of Ascalon County of Beersheb County of Darum County of Jaffa County of Jerusalem County of Hebron County of Tiberias Image: A timelapse of Vid's lands and influence. Not pictured are the lands of his wife & ally, Alice Karling, Duchess suo jure of Orleans, Countess of Chartres and Toledo. Her holdings were part of the Empire of Francia. She was also the head of the historical Karling dynasty. Despite his lack of interest in women, he fathered 5 children with his wife: 22.8.1127 - Tihana [heir presumptive until 14.8.1135], died 17.4.1151 14.8.1135 - Krasimir [heir] 14.8.1137 - Emilija [Basilissa of the Byzantine Empire, married her cousin Theodoros 25.5.1157] 26.2.1139 - Teodor 14.6.1149 - Natalija Image: Family tree showing Vid's family - his father Teodor III, his siblings and his children, including his heir, future King Krasimir. His daughter Emilija became Basilissa of the Byzantime Empire after marrying her cousin, Basileus Theodoros in 25.5.1157. His full title at the time of his death was: King Vid ‘the Just’ of Illyria, Croatia, and Jerusalem, Duke of Carinthia, Slavonia, Tyrol and Friuli, Count of Krain, Aquileia, Istria, Kärnten, Senj, Veglia, Mantua, Treviso, Verona, Padua, Steiermark, and Protector of Jerusalem. Suzerain of Bavaria, Duke of Orleans jure uxoris, Magus and First-Among-Equals of the Hermetic Society, founder of the Kingdom of Croatia and restorer of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Image: Teodor's death screen, with the royal emblem of Illyria visible at the top. He died on 28.4.1177, and was succeeded by his son Krasimir, aged 41, who inherited all his titles and tributaries. His reign was marked by an internal restructuring of the Kingdom, doubling the number of vassals under the Illyrian crown, and adding the crowns of Jerusalem and Croatia to the Lanik family. He also arranged a number of important marriages, including that of his daughter to the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, and the betrothal of his sons & nephews to influential members of the various European Empires, in hopes of securing a future for the Lanik dynasty outside of the realm of Illyria. He ruled for 47 years. Player note: Oh hello. It's been 3254235 years but I'm back with an update! I want to bring this game to completion. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was definitely an unexpected turn of events ? My current goal is the claim the Kingdom of Lombardy and then found an Empire. I think I might stop expanding at that point. I also wanted to see if I could get more Lanik family members on various thrones around the world, but haven't focused specifically on that. We shall see what the future holds! Also, small note on the Kingdom of Jerusalem titles - due to the way holy wars work, for a hot second, Vid owned every single title in it, but I divvied it up to different rulers practically instantly so I didn't remark on that in the "historical" overview.
  5. Finally we take the fight to Mordremoth! The dragon's minions await us, but with sword in hand and great resolve, we shall be victorious! Dragon's Stand is the fight against Mordremoth's final line of defense, featuring a three-lane push, and final boss encounter. The event is a map-wide meta-event, for which everyone on the map must pitch in in order to ensure maximum success. All of the event mechanics will be explained by the commanders during the event, you do not need prior knowledge of it to join. The event requires a moderate amount of coordination, and is appropriate for all types of players! You don’t need to be in the map prior to the event. The commanders will explain how we get everyone onto the same map, and what to do after that. Requirements: Heart of Thorns Expansions Level 80 character
  6. The Three-Headed Great Jungle Wurm terrorizes the jungle! But we're ready to terrorize it back! The Vigil Crusaders are ready and waiting for the armies of Tyrian heroes to march into the Wurm's domain and slay the giant creature. The Triple Trouble event is a fast-paced, high-intensity event where three teams must coordinate their efforts to slay the three heads of the Wurm at the same time. Due to the large number of split-second decisions, TeamSpeak is required. No experience with the event is required, all tactics & mechanics are explained beforehand.

  9. Hey remember 79 years ago when I posted this thread? ? WELL, that dedicated server is still on the table, although we're still not decided on exactly how we'd go about it! Meanwhile, I've been enjoying The Gorge event a ton and forcing just about everyone I know to play it with me (sorry @Saiface, @Sabina, @Pippin) ?

  19. Join us as we venture out into an unexplored land! What threats and treasures lie in the Domain of Kourna? With the recent Living World update came a brand new map - the Domain of Kourna! As is tradition, we'll be getting to know it in a one-time unique event - the Domain of Kourna Expedition! We'll be running a trail around the map, exploring as we go - completing events, visiting locations of note, helping players get to difficult to reach places, pointing out interesting tidbits and possibly even getting some achievements! The event is suitable for both players who will have already explored the map on their own, as well as those who have never set foot in it before and would like to get to know it with a fun group experience! Event Requirements: Path of Fire Basic Mounts (Raptor, Springer and Skimmer) Getting There: Complete the Story mission Forearmed is Forewarned from Living World Season 4, episode 3: Long Live the Lich. Using Domain of Kourna Portal Scroll. Using Teleport to Friend on a party member in the zone, if the Living World episode has been unlocked. Note that this is not intended to be a 100% exploration run or a farm grind, but rather a relaxed foray into the map. It's a great way to get an impression of a map, and make some fun memories while doing it! As part of the run, we will show players around some important locations in the area, complete events, and point out some fun or interesting areas and achievements. We're also inviting any mesmers with full access to all mounts to help us help players get to difficult locations! NOTE: Story spoilers will be kept to a minimum, but some elements of the story may be spoiled by the NPCs on the map or the environment itself!
