So I want to do a playthrough for CK2, something short-ish that won't last 700 years. I have a few ideas, but I can't choose between them, because I want to do them all. I'll most likely do them all anyway eventually, but I'd like to start on something fun, aggressive, and difficult. As usual, I'll be playing in Ironman mode, because of course I would. Nothing like forcing myself to scrap a game completely because of minor bugs! \o/
I've sorted out my potential plans below, but the option are in the poll above.
1) Karloman the Great
Be Karloman, kill Charlemagne, and create the Holy Roman Empire. EZPZ.
I've honestly already done this one, technically, but I didn't play it long enough to create the HRE, and now the save is too old to continue unless I go back to a previous version.
2) Africa for Africans
Be a West African pagan out of Ghana/Mali, and kick these silly muslims and their weak "god" out of Africa.
3) The Chronicle of Mindaugas
Be pagan Lithuania, surrounded on three sides by Christianity and with the Tatar hordes knocking. Survive as only someone with the spirit of Mindaugas can: by killing the fuck out of everyone.
4) Gotlandsdricka
Gotland was never actually a merchant republic, regardless of what the game says, though it was the end-point of untold wealth from the arab world, brought north by viking traders. The Gutes of Gotland were a culture completely apart from their norse brethren, and it's time they break free from Swedish lordship and establish their own identity in the Baltic, as is their birthright.
5) Mi Hansa es su Hansa
Lubeck is the Emperor.
6) Way of the Celestial Masters
Playing a Three Kingdoms mod game, play as the Yellow Turbans, unseat the imperial Han and usher in a new era of Chinese history.
