    Mod "Rise to Power" is refreshing. Start as a unlanded courtier and go from there. Post playthroughs here!

    Posted: 05 Jan 2020 04:28 PM PST

    Some of you may be aware of a recently released mod called Rise to Power, which has been popularized by a YouTube CK2 player Roll1D2 Games. The mod basically allows you to play as a landless courtier, baron, mayor, or mercenary leader which really gives the game a breath of fresh air by providing different perspectives for you as a player. I've been having a blast trying out different playthroughs and I've been curious what things you guys have done as well.

    This turned out longer than I thought, but here goes.

    I decided to create a wandering immortal sellsword who eventually goes mad. I start as a peasant called Aethelwulf in Wessex during the Viking start. The backstory is that vikings pillaged his village, so Aethelwulf fights for his liege as a soldier during the Norse incursions and a sellsword during lulls between raids.

    However, the vikings overpower and conquer the kingdoms of Wessex, Northumbria, Mercia, pieces of Wales, and almost all of Ireland. Aethelwulf thinks God has left England and his liege, and not knowing what to do besides fight, becomes a wandering warrior in Christian Europe. Thanks to his experience he becomes a commander in the courts he wanders into, and through the decades amasses experience as a warrior and strategist as he spends all his time devoted to the art of combat. Bounty hunting (modded in warrior society), dueling, leading men, Aethelwulf does it all. My guy is clueless as to how he's able to maintain his fitness throughout the decades when others wither away (learning is at 4 lol), but he stubbornly fights away with luck on his side. At this point kings yearn for the famed Anglo Saxon's services, offering him land and titles in exchange for his fealty, but I didn't want to tie down my character to a county just yet.

    Things change with the rise of one fiery Scottish queen. While Aethelwulf is dicking off while working for some Lombardian duke, I notice that Pictland (Scotland?) somehow survived the raids, and conquered the entirety of Norse holdings in Ireland. Aethelwulf gets a hard-on and wants to fight for the existing king there, so he moves to Pictland and fights with all of his brawny but small brained might for his new liege. Sadly, the King meets his end in battle quickly and Aethelwulf contemplates killing himself. But wait! His late liege had a single daughter to continue the lineage. A brilliant strategist, brave, ambitious, stubborn, young and unmarried woman. My God, she's perfect for Aethelwulf and he falls in love. But he's got a boring old wench at his side who he can't bare to divorce or kill! Thankfully, the stars align and she dies soon after the Pictish king dies, and Aethelwulf is able to marry his dear queen, not giving a damn about matrilineal marriages.

    Aethelwulf becomes one with the warrior queen, both hellbent on driving the Norse from the isles. And things go as he'd dreamed initially. The conquests come fast, the glory is great, and the lineage is secured with the birth of a son and two daughters. But the game decides to fuck with the queen. With every conquest, something seems to twist her soul. She becomes wrothful, greedy, cruel, paranoid of the intentions of others. She freely declares war, revokes titles, and once even executes a pious vassal. I don't even think that guy did anything wrong. She had so much potential, but she turns into a woman concerned only with conquest, subjects or husband be damned. Aethelwulf is afraid and he runs off to fight in a crusade in Bulgaria, but his wife torments him all the way from Pictland by antagonizing him, making him stressed.

    The crusade in Bulgaria fails, and shortly after the queen dies. I shit you not, she became depressed and killed herself, as if she was aware how much of a monster she'd become. Their shitty son, who is excommunicated, becomes king and while the kingdom of Pictland holds almost all of the British isles save for bits of Mercia, Aethelwulf is disillusioned. The failure of the crusade, and the tyrannical conquests by his wife cause him to travel east. He fights for eastern lords hoping to find himself along the way, but instead he becomes possessed.

    Aethelwulf finally returns to Europe and resumes doing what he does best, this time prostituting himself to any kingdom, christian or not. On a whim, he takes up an offer to join an invasion by a Norse adventurer into the Byzantine empire. Somehow it succeeds, and Aethelwulf gains a county in Abysos, next to Constantinople.

    The horrors of war, the corruption of his queen, and the ravages of time seem to have broken Aethelwulf. He chooses to hunker down in this county, using his thousands of gold pieces to build a fortress county. Occasionally he checks on Pictland. Last he checked, the bloodline he created with his wife is dead, wiped out by the plague. Now some random Pict rules over that damned land. The Norse in the form of the Danes have struck back and taken Wessex, Mercia, and bits of Wales. Nothing appears to last, except the malice of man and eternal violence. So he embraces both. In Abysos, the immortal maimed madman count, with his thousands of loyal troops, raids the Byzantines at will (he converted to Norse in his disillusionment) and dares any man to cross the straits, mountains and rivers into his 5 holding county to rip them apart with his narrow flank, unyielding, 49 martial ass.

    What does the "same religion as founder" in a bloodline exactly mean?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2020 08:02 AM PST

    For example the carolingian bloodline, do you have to be catholic or is any christian confession or are heresies of the confession also fine or not?

    Consolidating all the Bloodlines with multiple saves? Anyone do it?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2020 08:49 AM PST

    The Merovingian thread got me thinking. Unless you are in a multiplayer you probably aren't going go collect all the Bloodlines before some go extinct in parts of the world you can't get to in time. So has anyone done some quick character swapping of playing character long enough to save some Bloodlines before consolidating them so you can catch them all? I mean you will probably still miss some dead end saints with no heirs but it sounds tedious but an interesting way to set up a world before you play a game.
