From there on out, I took all of astapors provinces, and brought astapor under the glory of new valyria. With my ally, essaria, I was able to land, and in a vicious battle where I lost 6000 men, about half of my army, defeat the astapori. Several years after, I was strong enough to challenge astapor, the first of the kingdoms of the slavers bay. I decided I would make him a raging badass. He wasn't as good as aegon, but holy shit, his martial stat was incredible.

I formed the kingdom of tolos, renamed it to New Valyria, and worked on strengthening myself.

Like, I struck gold with this goddamn kid. His traits were fucking ridiculously good. Soon afterwards, I had a child, who I named aegon. I took over all of mantarys's provinces except for one, and usurped its duchy. The combined essarian and tolosi armies were able to overrun the only neighbour of tolos, mantarys, and overthrow its leaders. The alliance was set in stone, when caleb married the daughter of the 50something year old leader of essaria. However, with valyria destroyed and desolate, caleb was forced to turn elsewhere, and made a alliance with a extremely powerful neighbour of his to the north, essaria. I'm rping my character as a dragonlord who was able to escape the doom, and take over tolos, with his main goal to restore valyria. Tolos is a tiny, two province duchy that survived the doom of valyria, populated by the tolosi (valyrians, but they aren't sexy.) I'm having a awesome game in ck2 agot a century of blood. Maybe grant some folks independence first, make it a bit easier to conquer if I decide I want it back. You'd probably be boned even if you weren't also a 13 year old Irish kid.Īt this point I'm probably just going to set my primary title back to my custom empire and pawn Byzantium off on some other sorry son of a bitch. The Byzantine Empire's worst enemies is always its own vassals. This whole 'take over Byzantium' thing may not have been as good an idea as I thought. And, for the icing on the cake, here's the list of factions.

I can't raise my vassal levies since I'm so far over the vassal limit (69/30), and I have the same problem with not being able to grant titles or change laws. I'm losing more than a hundred gold per turn, and I don't have enough piety to ask the Pope for money. So all of my councillors hate me, and won't actually vote to let me grant titles so that they hate me less. I've also got a -140 opinion modifier from too many held duchies. Then my son died of cancer, which was good, because that meant that the Emperor of Byzantium was heir to Eire. Dunno how, I just loaded the game up and my grandson was Emperor again.
