Okay, with a bit of luck I did it, and it looks like succession should work out fine as well. One kid gets Retz in Brittany, another Benevento, each gets a meh duchy and the main heir remains overlord in Sicily proper. Next: consolidate until I get to primogeniture.pic.twitter.com/ydkLKLeNZJ

Got to Late Feudal Administration, still with OG Haesteinn! Thank you for your wisdom, Necronomicon. Heir is married to a genius wife, hopefully they get to reproducing pronto. Meanwhile, I've just been sitting peacefully in Sicily plowing cash into new holding construction.

Good King Haesteinn died at the age of 73. Great! King Ragnarr is only 29, with a daughter set to enjoy Agnatic-Cognatic inheritance if no son shows up. Let's review the state of the world! First: Italy is getting huge. We've got a non-aggression pact, but they need to go down.pic.twitter.com/J1H57vAX2E

Vile Mohametan dynasts rule across Andalusia and North Africa. They'll be ripe targets for my sanctified spears and might be a solid power base for when I take on the Italian Karlings. Byzantine endures, but it's already fragmenting. I'm going to take back South Italy soon.pic.twitter.com/dYkZqAs3E5

West Frankia seems to have eaten the East, but I don't think they're past gavelkind and Lotharingia still splits them in two. No signs of consolidation in Scandinavia or the British Isles. Very good. This is a target-rich environment for the most part.pic.twitter.com/WhyhyfD0AD

Well . . . shit. I just took Malta from the Byzantines to complete my little dukedom when the Africans attacked, and then some motherfucker poisoned me. Hm Lost a province to my sister (two female heirs, still gavelkind . . . god dammit) 6 years old, ten to go (but good regent)

First Crusade has broken out and it's absolutely nuts. Not sure whether it's the diffusion of Christian power or what, but Multiple giant Christian stacks in the Levant and 11k Moors in Rome (!!!) This must be an AI improvement? Anyway I love it!

Well . . . that's insane. Female heir made it, white peace on my first Holy War in Africa, Jerusalem crusade failed . . . anyway now suddenly there are 50k in Children's Crusade armies that just spawned in Antioch

WELL that also didn't play out quite as I expected! A Crusade was about to be launched for Finn-occupied Lotharignia when the goddamn Venicians took it over and turned it to Constantinople. OH SHIT! And then I got the most participation points so I guess I'm an Empress.pic.twitter.com/L3Tj1GWKuk
