Crusader Kings Succession game!
Deadmeat1471:
Well alot of us have probably realised if you are a member of the Paradox newsletter you got a free copy of Crusader Kings with the Deus Vult expansion!
This sparked some attention amongst our little community in the DF chat, and we are going to do a succession game. Each player will play until his leader dies, then save, give the save game to the next person on the list and so on.
Alot of us don't have much experience with CK, it doesn't matter all are welcome, I myself have played it quite alot in the past, but am not particularly good at it!
We will be playing as The Duchy of Northumberland.
Currently the playing order is;
1) Deadmeat(me)
Spoiler: Morcar(1028-1082) (click to show/hide)245 Prestige
270 Piety2) Warhammer
With these to be added in random order (Plus anyone else here who wants to play!).

There are no 'winning' conditions, this is purely for fun. But for the sake of the more competative of us, I'll ask everyone to record the prestige at the start and end of their reign. This may be stored in the game ledger, I am unsure.
If you want to join in, just say! we will be using vanilla Deus Vult patched to the latest from the CK forum. 2.1beta. If you have any preference to the order, thats fine too.

Deadmeat1471:
I'm Duke Morcar Leofricsen.
1071 - Married Gundred De Normandie, at 16 years of age she is the first daughter of the King of England. We took duty on this marriage! Hopefully she will bear many sons! we have no heirs currently.
Within mere months Gundred is knocked up. She has a Son.
We were also approached to start a civil war, but refused and thus I am now considered a steadfast Loyalist.
1073 - Gundred has a second male child, our dynasty is secure!
1074 - War with the Duchy of Gwynedd(Wales), we mobilize our armies as requested by the king!
Gundred has a third son! Her loins are like the Krupp factory!
The war ends the same year with several new fiefs for England.
Gundred has a forth son!!! however he died from a childhood illness :(
1078 - The King leads a crusade against Jerusalem, we can ill afford this, but we must make sacrifices for the greater good of Christianity.
A year later, the Scots capture large parts of the Levant including Jerusalem itself. The Crusade ends. We are broke. Grrr.
1082 - Gundred had a daughter! but we are still broke :(
I die. Wulfhere takes over the Duchy, a boy of great talent and judgement and only 10. Unfortunately he inherited the massive debt from the crusades. Good luck.

Economically, we're in a mess even If I set taxes to high, and stop paying money to the church we're still "making" a negative income
