She inherited the title as a girl when her father died of a venereal disease. That reminds me: My favorite character I've played so far has been Eleanor Dunbar, Duchess of Lothian, on Scotland's border with England. While playing CK2 my Scottish queen had to murder her eldest two children to continue the dynasty (and the game). Posted by feloniousmonk at 8:31 PM on Aug If you've ever gotten lost in Civ or Sim City or any strategy game, I can't recommend them enough, although I suggest you start with CK2 or EU4. They may be buggy (they're way better about this than the Hearts of Iron 3 days, but the EU4 release included a patch to CK2 which blinded the entire male lineage of my dynasty in my Byzantine empire game, requiring me to edit the save files by hand to fix it) and a little hard to figure out but they are the source of endless entertainment. For example, in CK2, you don't want to end up holding an unreasonable number of areas that turn into trade nodes in EU4. I think the best you can do to keep a conversion playable is to play with an eye for keeping things balanced rather than domination. In addition to the official CK2/EU4 one, this is true for the fan-built converters for EU3, Victoria 2 and Hearts of Iron 3 as well. The downfall of the converters is that a completed save from the previous game is always going to be ridiculously overpowered as a starting nation in the next game. You say that, but the game my girlfriend prepped for import to EU4 looked like this at the end. posted by Rustic Etruscan (244 comments total) Subject: Re: request for Leon lecture notes, a short León AAR with an interesting conceit.
