Crusader Kings 2

[Magnus Pym]

Hello everyone,
I know some people here play the Crusader Kings 2 PC game, a strategy game based in medieval Europe. I've been playing for some time, but now that I've got the grasp of how most things work, I felt like posting about my current game, which is not finished yet.

I've begun as a tribal chief in the county of Dublin in 769 A.D., the earliest start possible. As soon as I united the Irish people under my banner, I've begun expanding into England by way of the Kingdom of Wales and the Petty Kingdom of Northumbria, ignoring Scotland for the time being. (In truth, Scotland wouldn't be mine until way into the game.) Eventually, I had the Kingdom of Wales, of England and of Ireland all under my command before a Crusade for both Aquitaine (the ruler had switched his religion to some heretic form of Christianity) and Andalusia (pretty much Spain, the Umayyads were still ruling there and expanding into France by way of Aquitaine and Burgundy) was being called.

The Aquitaine crusade got called off for some reason that I can't remember, but I was successful in the Crusade against the Umayyads in Andalusia and the territory became mine. From there, which successful intrigue and diplomacy, I either married my Dynasty into other kingdoms so that they may revert to me, or pressed my vassals claims on these kingdoms. In time, I conquered the Kingdoms of Ireland, Wales, England, Scotland, France (West Francia), Brittany, Frisia, Germany (East Francia), Castille, Navarra, Andalusia, Aragon, Portugal, Galicia, Leon, Asturias, Aquitaine, Burgundy, Lombardy, the Minor Kingdom of Sardinia, the Empire of Hispania, the Empire of Francia and the Empire of Brittania, and formed the Holy Roman Empire.

My prospects for expansion are looking good; with the kingdoms of Saxony, Bavaria and Poland on my eastern borders, the Byzantine Empire struggling with a ferocious revolt, the Crusade for Pannonia called a while ago with no participant able to muster sufficient manpower to reverse the tide of the war but me, and a bunch of Sunni rulers in North Africa on which i can call Holy Wars, it's possible that I might be able to reform the Imperium Romanum.

Here are some screenshots, enjoy and post yours if you play the game! :)
