    Just roll Byzantine and reenact Alexander.

    I just did a Byzantine playthough on CK2 and managed to finally reform the Roman Empire. It got really hairy when I only had 2-3 provinces left because my emperor committed suicide (stress death) with the line of succession at the time being his sickly 2 year old son > emperor's high-intrigue older sister > some random female cousin who was already in a non-matrilineal marriage. Funny thing about that sister: she had previously tried to kill the emperor when he was just a baby, so I (as the previous emperor) imprisoned her and forgot about her for almost 30 years. I guess hard time changes a woman because she came out as a 0% fertility homosexual with ambition and other bad news traits. Those first few years as the sickly kid were real nail biters.

    Unfortunately the save converter is messing up so I guess I'll have to use someone else's CK2 save in EU4.

    I just played an EU4 campaign as the Mupata in Africa... And conquered/colonized all of Africa, forced Mecca to convert to my nation's animist religion, and began my invasion of Castille.

    Horse Lords released for CK2, allowing you to play as a proper steppe tribe. As is usual when these things first come out, I have no idea what I'm doing. I hope some day they expand the map into east Asia.

    I think if they want to keep on their crazy DLC scheme, East Asia and playing through courtier -> baron -> count would be good expansion points.

    Playing a Wales challenge right now in which I'm supposed to go after the Mongols and Aztecs. Curious what changes Horse Lords will have brought.

    My ruler got cancer, and I cured it by inhaling goat farts.

    They're Brutes from Halo, with a couple of Elites.

    Ah. Just found out that CA is making Halo Wars 2, releasing Feb 2017. Not gonna be a Grand Strat though, but Hal Wars was one of the best console based RTS ever.

    Holy Fury for CK2 is insanely good. I got my Norse Germanic pagan's personal combat modifier up to something absurd like 130 through the berserker trait, my warrior lodge, and a bunch of human sacrifice and duel experience. Later he dueled some shieldmaiden and they wound up falling in love.

    I also really like how leading troops is much more hands on and dangerous.
