I realize that you are always prepared for a sudden random phallus, but for your own safety, shut your mouth!

Keep calm and move along.

Oh, and by the way, I got my monarch's relations a little bit wrong. He is nephew to the holy roman emperor, cousin the Danish queen, and his sister is the queen of Hungary. Just a detail :sorcerer:

Keep calm and move along.

Well, we quickly got to another update on CK2. I have decided to update with the death of every monarch.

After only 15 years of reign, King Algot I the Great was tragically murdered in 1116 at the age of 43 by the vile Duke Kettil af Sverker, who sought to claim the Kingdom of Sweden for himself. He was apprehended, and the king's oldest son Astrad, who was at the young age of 18 crowned King Astrad I, had him immediately imprisoned, and the duke is now rotting away in the castle dungeons for his crimes. Such a disaster, and on prince Astrad's very own wedding day! All believed that it would be a day to celebrate the joining of the Danish and Swedish royal houses, but it became a day of grief and anger.

King Algot I, like his father, was a great leader and a great man. He continued his father's struggle against the Norse Pagan heathens. He successfully conquered the lands of Lappland and Västerbotten, as well as conquering Härjedalen in a long and bloody war against the once again united Norwegians, which took Swedish troops all the way to Norwegian-controlled Sussex. He also continued his father's struggle to bring Christianity to the north by setting the Christening of Finland in motion. Algot also granted more power to the crown, which stopped the nobility from fighting each other, and making monarch a title that demands respect.

Algot the Great was hated by many of his vassals, but was loved by most of the nobility and by the people. He claimed his rightful title as Duke of Jämtland in Norway, giving Sweden the right to nominate the heir of both the Swedish and Norwegian crown. His son, King Astrad I, has vowed to struggle to make one of his future sons the successor of both titles, which will bring the North one step closer to complete unity.

Also, the large boost in income has resumed and has gone on for a while now, so now I have even more cash. It is literally increasing faster than I can spend it, so this is quite frankly getting a little too easy since I can just call in armies of mercenaries to do my job.

I'll take that as a you recently conquered those two. Excellent, now go destroy those Norwegians. Letting them stay independent is a sign of weakness.

Well, futz. The game goes only up to 1453 apparently. That means zero coverage of the Americas.

Well, since it seems King Astrad has decided to never goddamn die, I can just go ahead and ask...what the hell is "De Jure"? And while I'm at it, what the hell is De Facto? I hear both quite a lot and I have no clue as to what it is x|

Keep calm and move along.

De Jure means by law if I remember correctly.
For example a Duchy can have 2 provinces De Jure, if you hold the Duchy title you will have a free Causus Belli agains anyone who holds them.
But it's possible that said Duke only owns 2 of the provinces, these 2 provinces are his De Facto but by De Jure he owns another one.

Okay, so for some reason, Photobucket doesn't accept .bmp images anymore. The other screenshots were also .bmp and it handled that fine, but it seemed to have changed its mind now.

Use Imgur or get Gimp and convert the bmp into jpg.

Welp, Imgur doesn't accept the images either, and I don't understand Gimp at all. Looks like I won't post any more updates, then.

Why haven't you crushed the Austrians yet? If you're going to play as Prussia, you have to destroy the Austrians, and the French as well at some point.
