Crusader kings 2 cathar full#

I am secretly proud of exceptionally capable descendants, and might surreptitiously help them out (my advisers assure me that the carriages full of gold are very inconspicuous), but average and less-than-average family members really shouldn't expect to have any enjoyment or freedom in their lives, you know? Sure, if they manage to fall in love with somebody and elope, they have my blessing, but I try to make such behavior unlikely by judiciously keeping them away from court, positions of power, or any form of human interaction, until they become elderly misanthropes who have very little hope of passing on their genes. So I'm not fond of having title claimants to my territories, especially if they're outside of my empire and especially if they're in positions of power in other kingdoms, though ironically that makes them less dangerous than self-styled 'adventurers'. I'm a terrible sinner, I know.)Д¬lick to expand.See, I prefer to keep my bloodline united and strong, whether its members like it or not. *(I play ridiculously carefully, splitting my time between the minimum speed and pausing the game outright, assigning territories myself instead of letting the AI do it randomly, and save-scumming. And even still you can usually only take a county or duchy at a time, leading to hundreds of wars and millions of deaths while you wish you could just declare war on the whole world outright and take it over in one go, instead of having to drown it in your enemies' blood time and time again.Дoes anyone enjoy managing their uber-empire for centuries? Or do you switch to strategies outside of warfare to make things interesting? Am I missing great parts of the Crusader Kings experience, such as the RPG aspects? Do you ever start during Old Gods or Charlemagne's time and play all the way until the game ends? Has anyone actually been attacked by AI rulers and lost your kingdom? The implementation of defensive pacts made things a bit more challenging, but it's still too easy to defeat other states in wars even if their total forces outnumber yours several times over. But, well, I've logged hundreds of hours in the game* (technically over 1000, but much of that time it's just been running in the background), and while I've made a few massive empires, I've always gotten bored once they're big enough and the only thing that could stop my world domination would be internal fragmentation which I would just love to crush with my quarter-million-man retinue because I do not allow such turmoil in my state.
