[@BaronVonMott]

Tragic ending: You are on the verge of forming an Empire title, with the perfect character to build a truly epic nation... only for him to be lobotomised by a random event that ruins everything. (True story. I had a near perfect run of trying to form Russia as the Rurikid dynasty for the achievement, and even had a Learning character who would have reformed our faith and developed our culture to become Feudal way earlier than I expected... but then he got a random danger event where a pot struck him across the head and gave him the "Incapable" trait. RIP Dimitri Rurikid, you were truly one of a kind...)

You’re not just the father of the dynasty of multiple crowns, you’re the emperor above all other, whilst all other are your relatives

0:49 soooo just Robert Baratheon then? 😂

[@NoctisLupi]

0:27 how tf does that even happen?

[@chrisrudolf9839]

It has never happened to me, but since it is a "war against the tyranny of ...", which is usually the response of a vassal who decides to resist arrest or title revocation, I guess it could happen if you try to imprison your heir and then die within the few days it takes for him to respond with a refusal, so that the heir himself becomes the target of his war declaration by inheriting his lieges title. The war should end immediately after that for becoming invalid (which is what happens when you inherit an ongoing war in which you are now both the target and the attacker). I have seen some other funny "split personality" confusions though. Once I had to fight myself in a tournament finale after my opponent was disqualified for cheating (and unfortunately I lost) and once I bravely came to my own rescue to save myself from brigands while travelling through a low control county of my own domain.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

To be fair, you can only blame the murder on the Ai, the second one is on you (unless you had tweaked succession so you wouldn't play as your oldest son. And even then, reforming your religion to have entirely unrestricted marriage is on you).

[@TheVincenzoGaming]

Weird Ending; You've lost the game from having no heir, despite having a child who inherits every title you own. (This is currently happening in a Elder Kings 2 playthrough, idk if it's a glitch or not because the mod hasn't been updated to the newest patch but I KNOW that the child can become an heir from the culture/religions laws)

[@maxi1ification]

Sometimes happens when the child that is registered as inheriting your shit is not of your dynasty for some reason. Most common cause? Usually fathering bastards with a woman whom you later marry, since sometimes her children can end up recognized (not inaccurately) as yours as well, and despite being lowborn will nonetheless inherit and thus start new dynasties as soon as they're landed. It's a weird interaction cycle, but that's how it works.

[@TheVincenzoGaming]

@@maxi1ification the child came from my loins with my wife, or at-least she better be, so she's apart of the dynasty and I have the equal inheritance thing. The problem is, like I said, probably that i'm using an updated ck3 with a non-updated Elder Kings 2 so i'm waiting for the mod to update to play the save again, if that doesn't work it's probably the super outdated 'all governments playable' mod since he is the leader of the Dawnguard

Its only a worry-free ending until your only son dies leaving your dozen daughters to fight each other.

[@enchainedprometheus]

A month or so ago I've rewatched Les visiteurs with Jean Reno and Christian Clavier and Iinstantly know what must be done. Next day I've created a 867 French RP campaign with count Godefroy de Montmirail founder of the Montmirail dinasty and somehow move through the centuries I finished it ot 1453 january 1. My last Character was Géreaud the IX'th the Roman Emperor, Montmirail Dinasty had 1200+ members in 60+cadet branches. After a few noble uprising (independence and liberty wars) I took the lands from the nobles and gave them to majors, which transform every county, every duchy to republics. Then the internall warfares are ceased at least which targeted me. The Grand Mayors (Dukes) step by step conquered the Lord Mayors (counts). As an Emperor on the top i was in safe. Then when I reached my vassal limit and start to meke most serene republics (kingdoms) the kings start to conquer the Grand Mayors. The looked like a patchy blanket there werent singular territories of the Kingdoms but patchy vassal republics all around. Metropolitan France (beside the Emperor's 5 county from Champagne (other 5 was in Lombardy)) divide between Ireland, Africa, Volga-Bulgaria, Finnland, Sardinia and Egypt. 🙃

[@yYSilverFoxYy]

Those damn boars… My perfectly groomed heir inherited the empire at age 22. Went hunting, like what’s the worst thing that could happen? 5% “you die” haha okay… And he did. His single 2yo daughter took over. Hated by everyone for being a baby and a girl, her vassals started attacking almost immediately. Fortunately she had two helpful uncles, and the vassals were also busy attacking poor baby girl’s betrothed (her cousin of course) for similar reasons, so she survived that. Unfortunately, she also had a mean uncle who became regent and had to be bribed with money and land. (How can a baby even do that?) …Anyway this third mean uncle regent, with all the worst traits, at least helped with the uprising. …Then started ruining my baby emperess’ empire. At least we had enough money left for a kiddie party. That’s where I am with the playtrough right now. Mean uncle gotta go once she gets older…

I have 400+ hours in this game, and to be honest, I don't know either.

[@molybdaen11]

The whole game is about controlling a family instead of a single ruler in the middle age. Some faiths can declare crusades where every participant get money, fame, piety or even a title, depending oh his participation. Meanwhile rulers from the other faith may decide to help each other which could escalate fast. Meanwhile you have to organic your holdings, your vessels, foreign invaders, your own peasants and hold your realm together.

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

They are crusading against foreigners, heathens, heretics and the French. They are Kings because they and their ancestors used violence to enforce ownership of the lands and subjugate the people of the country in to a hierarchal system of bondage in which the labor of the masses went to support a small group of bourgeoisie aristocrats. It is estimated around 1 out of 10 people can be categorized as LGBT of one type or another it stands to reason that over the course of 600 years of a family at least some of the members will be gay.
