With big army I secured my claimant on the throne of Italy. Italy was in the grip of long civil war between the King and some other claimant. So I enticed him to my court and offered him a small barony and in turn he became my vassal. For this to happen, I needed him to 1:) Be my vassal, 2:) Italy to have a succession crisis since the claim was relatively weak, 3:) have the biggest army. Earlier in the game, I was able to secure most of Italy with a grandson of the former Kings of Italy. I’m on my fourth generation emperor and the year is now 966 a.d. Since you are playing as one character and when they die, you take control of their heir as long as they are of the same dynasty. Since this is the middle ages, I have vassals and their support of me depend on how much they like me or dislike me. In CK2, you don’t necessarily have control over all of your country’s units. I started in the late ninth century as Basil I who in reality stabilized the decline of the empire. My goal is to mend the schism between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches along with reforming the Roman Empire and expanding it back to its former glory. Example: In my current game I am playing as the Emperor of Byzantine. Often the seemingly most inconsequential actions can take on incredible importance as events unravel. What makes it different is that it has an incredible ability to rewrite history in a very unpredictable but plausible way. I know that I gush my affection for every game that I am playing at the moment, but this game is really different. I would have to say that CK2 is the best strategy game that I have ever played played. I have played strategy games since the days of Avalon Hill board games in the late 70s when I was a wee lad.
