#Crusader kings 2 challenges mods#

Your nobles are furious at the lost of the ancient city, and many have taken to openly questioning your authority. Your military is strong but you are surrounded by enemies abroad and restless vassals from within. With a centuries old decline and your power weaker than it's ever been, however, that goal looks more like a dream with each passing day. As the lawful leader of the failing empire, it is no one's right but your own to see the old glories restored. You are the lawful heir to the legacy of the Roman empire, ruling your nation in exile after the betrayal of the Latin crusaders stole the jewel of Constantinople from you. You are Theodoros Laskaris, Emperor of Nicea and the Aegean islands.

You will reforge the legacy of the Empire into a new image - the image of the european knight.Д«etrayal! Thieves! Destroyers and usurpers curse them! In the old tradition of Caeser himself: might shall make right. Your military is exhausted from the long march from Central europe, and while you can gather a sizable host, you are surrounded by your betters.ДЄnd to those you must contend with who question your right to rule.? To the dungeon with those traitors! Each and every one! All that matters is the right of conquest. Your vassals range from Frankish counts to german dukes, and their former leiges are eager to ursurp their vassal's newly won titles from you. You are a bastion of catholicism in a land of orthodoxy. You are a foreigner in every way you can think. You lack any lawful claim to the lands you rule. You control all the former lands of the the old empire west of the Aegean with the exception of the Despot of Epirus, who has risen up as independant in defiance of you.ДЄlready you and your men are facing problems. The lure of the ancient city was too much for you and your men to resist, and rather than defend the failing glory of Rome, you siezed it for yourself. You are Henri van Vlaandeen and you rule your newly forged empire from Constantinople. Participants must use the newest patched state of the game: 1.05.ДЎ0.1 Hotfix version doesn't matter, but in order for me to load your saves to check your games, you need the newest patch. Said AAR does not have to be extravagant! However, this is about fun, and what's more fun than showing off how you rebuilt Rome in a weekend? You are highly encouraged to share the your exploits in this thread. Participants will be required to recap key events in their rise to power for their fellow members in the style of an AAR.

Participants will be required to submit a final save game state as well as screenshots as proof of their deed.Д©. This is supposed to be fun more than anything.ДЁ. No cheating! No console commands may be used other than fow commands, which I do not consider to be cheating. The winner will be judged on a number of factors detailed below.Д§. This challenge will be open from the time of this posting until May 20th, 00:00 GMT. You are permitted to try as many times as you wish.Д¦. No custom characters from the ruler designer.

No mods allowed! The only modding you are permitted to do is modding the ability to play as the Sultanate of RumД¤. Usable factions: Latin Empire, Byzantine Empire, Sultanate of RumДЈ. Only a start date of January 1st, 1205 can be used.Дў. And to sweeten the pot, I decided i'd buy all the currently released DLC for the one who did it the best.ДЎ. The 1205 scenario is one i've been looking at since the game has launched, and have failed at many times as i attempted to do exactly what I described. So i got thinking one day while waiting for a hotfix, you know, i bet some people have passed on all this DLC. So far, everything has either been nonessential or purely cosmetic. In order to declare yourself the ultimate victor, and truly take your rightful place as the successor of the old glories, you must reach the de jure extent of the old eastern Empire which are shown below.Дoing this will cement your legacy for all time, and even though your enemies may curse your name, they will never doubt your place in history.Д«ut why take part in such a challenge? I love this game quite a bit and Paradox has been going a fun route with their DLC. For this scenario we will be using the January 1st, 1205 start date, and will focus on only factions from Asia minor.

The challenge is this: Take one of the successor states, or direct rivals of, the Byzantine empire and claim your rightful place as the legacy of Rome. This will be a challenge open to any member of this site, member or moderator, who owns Crusader Kings II.
