<JackALope`> Okay sorry I'm about to spam you guys with a bunch of shit you don't care about with CK2
<Makh> No apologising
<Makh> Not allowed
<Makh> it's interesting
<JackALope`> I just had one of the singularly greatest characters I have ever played
<Hopper> Did you fuck people's shit
<JackALope`> http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=432281510 Ukko protect the soul of the great Satajalka
<JackALope`> Okay so
<JackALope`> His reign started when his second cousin died in battle against the Lithuanians - Because I have elective gavalkind as my succession law instead of regular gavelkind, he was the chosen successor to said second cousin
<Makh> 83 seems old  for 985 ad
<JackALope`> However, because it's still gavelkind, the sons of the said second cousin - third cousins - also received land, which were in Suomi (Finland) proper, and significantly reduced his power compared to when the second cousin was in power
<Hopper> You'll need to complete the story mode to get all the characters
<JackALope`> So he did the sensible thing and had them both murdered so their land would pass to him
<Makh> as one does
<Hopper> There's one hidden one that's unlocked by beating the story mode twice - once for each character - but I think it's just a clone of another character on the roster so I have very few fucks to give
<JackALope`> Now, at this point, Satajalka was 25
<Makh> that is a heck of a name
<JackALope`> Thus begins his great reign of almost 60 fucking years
<JackALope`> -60 fucking years-
<Makh> wait does he have 15 kids
<JackALope`> Yes
<JackALope`> 15
<JackALope`> He had his last kid at age 83
<Hopper> Shit son
<Makh> shiiit
<JackALope`> (The last kid gained the Kingdom of Lithuania now that he's passed, so I'm about to wreck his shit to get it back)
<Hopper> ...Why does the last kid have a blood icon?
<Hopper> Oh
<JackALope`> (fucking gavelkind)
<JackALope`> It signifies that he's a close member of my dynasty
<Hopper> Oh. Not that he's in the process of being murdered?
<JackALope`> First I have to wreck Russia's shit, but that's another story
<JackALope`> Nah
<JackALope`> Anyways, so, 60 years of murdering dynasty members, vassals, etc. in order to consolidate his rule
<JackALope`> 60 years of conquering territory from the Norse and the Romuvans (Lithuanians and friends) and the Russians in order to expand the realm
<Hopper> Mkay so that explains all the dead sublings
<Makh> how is lithuania Norway
<JackALope`> He basically completely conquered Norway and the northern half of Sweden, as well as most of Lithuania
<Makh> mmk
<JackALope`> Because the kid also got Norway
<JackALope`> Fucker
<JackALope`> He doesn't have much prestige but that's mainly because I spent all of it on tribal buildings, which cost prestige instead of gold
<JackALope`> Altogether, if I had to estimate, he probably gained ~8k prestige over his lifetime
<JackALope`> He also converted most of Norway, northern Sweden, and Lithuania to the Suomensuko (Finnish paganism) faith
<Makh> impressive
<JackALope`> My new king is Meigo: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=432285310 Who, if you'll notice the tooltip, has the "Quick" trait
<JackALope`> Which basically means IQ of 130+
<JackALope`> He is only 16
<JackALope`> Let's see how long he can reign
<Makh> does quick refer to his hair loss
<JackALope`> Mind you because of FUCKING GAVELKIND he'll probably spend the first 10 or 20 years of that reign reuniting the kingdom
