I think at this point I can finish coloring the map it's only 1271 and I am basically unstoppable, plus I have a 1/ruler invasion casus belli from Alexander's Bloodline that lets me absorb entire empires in a single war if im careful this would be a very dumb but fun EU4 exportpic.twitter.com/ACPJeT37P5

well I thought I had everything figured out but nope New Problem every important title is agnatic-cognatic primogeniture, including the Roman Imperial title HOWEVER the roman title is the only one that carries preference for porphyrogene children for some idiot reason

guess what idiot Basilissa just had a (third) female child at the ripe old age of 38?????????????????????? the first after ascending the throne?

so currently queued up to lose literally everything except the Imperial title and my capital in Palermo really not sure what to do I could murder my infant and just deal with the kinslayer + murderer + tyrant penalties but that only staves off the problem for one generation

ok FORTUNATELY you can assign the honorary title of Despot which has the nice side effect of counting as porphyrogensis disaster averted serves me right for not ever playing straight ERE before

it is some Real Bullshit that Chinese armies in CK2 don't suffer from attrition penalties they've got a 170k stack I can raise ~600k but I try to concentrate enough to kill that fucker they all just die and this is a major problem when they're winning just by steppe seiges

well I took the entirety of India in a single Invasion CB was surprisingly tough--it took long enough to siege everything that the AI just started spawning and teleporting 10k stacks all over(!!!!) guess I have a few holdings to distribute to hellenic romans nowpic.twitter.com/6dipYjWySU

and then I break free from fucking China next summer I moved all ~170k of my retinue up to the Jiquan passage to handle the 172k Western Protectorate doomstack that spawns sadly spread out because attrition in Mongolia is murder supply limit rules errything around mepic.twitter.com/U8P5CqzziO

initial disposition of troops note that I had slightly more troops than china (plus another 100k or so that I could raise on the spot from vassals once the territory cleared up) but of course the supply penalty was cripplingpic.twitter.com/fOhnTTPOAJ
