Can we get a multiplayer bannerlord series with Latin and you in the future😊 You can try a modded campaign series being the Bandit Brothers Or you can try the hardest bannerlord challenge the Tamerlane challenge start off with nothing and you're in prison hostile to everyone in your only allowed to recruit Bandits

[@daedalusdreamjournal5925]

HAESTEINN ... the hardest drug there is in CK3. Forget being a drunkard, forget being lustful, forget being a cannibal, there's no rush like playing haestinn !! ... and no worse bad trip than having your haesteinn being murdered 2 years into the game :)

still crossing my fingers for some related to the Roman Empire in the future. My personal favorite way to do it is as a custom ruler who is secretly descended from the Romans and still worships the old gods. I definitely play it OP because I use the Blood of the Norse Gods mod, but my head canon is that he has the blood of the greek gods.

[@donvergonet399]

I've a new challenge for you and maybe impossible to pull off. In the start of CK3 you'll find Dutch culture in the duchy of Holland and such, bu there's a hidden culture 'Frisian'. Historically the Frisians were more present in that area compared to 'Dutch' people, tho it's culture was rising and blended from Frisian and more cultures into Dutch. CK3 does have Frisian culture but I haven't found any character or events and such, so I was wondering if you could pull off to create at least one duchy fully into Frisian and play a character of it's culture.

[@fyfrod]

You're the best, Koifish! That was amazing.

[@kohlicoide2258]

We need now some kind of Islamic Haesteinn Faith to make him the savior of all three abrahamic religions. Caliph Haesteinn!

[@TheImperialSenate]

Amusingly enough, in some official medieval Norman histories (that were definitely biased, not to written many generations later), Haesteinn was portrayed as the immoral, "bad" Viking compared to the moral, Christian, "good" Viking Rollo aka the ancestor of the House of Normandy.

I have a game going on like this kind of; I formed the Danelaw with Haesteinn after invading southeastern England and then was able to get West Francia in a kingdom war, allowing me to become Norman (though my direct lands are in England, the game still let me do it). I haven't gone English yet and am still early on into the game.

[@henricmoreno5876]

Be friends with your spymaster, pay attention to his characteristics, keep your grandour high, keep your marshal in managing royal guards, the spymaster in dismantling schemes, hold great fests, and big weddings to keep your vassals happy, there is a perk of schemer tree "court of shadows" helps too, keep your dread high, put bodyguards, food testers. All of this helps to avoid being murdered, the lower your rank, the less will need to be done and the higher your rank, the more will need to be done, but it will not be necessary to do all of this

[@henricmoreno5876]

If you do at least half as emperor, you will be warned when there is a scheme in your court and can choose how to deal with it.
