Bryan Read fun fact Charlemagne is to describe someone who is large. So he is really named “Big Charlie”

@@unimportantcommenter673 Ehm jep that was His Name Not really a funfact

@@MrTeaust Charlemagne's name was not Charlemagne. It was Charles. I doubt anyone would have called him Charlemagne to his face while he was alive. "Charlemagne" means "Charles the Great" translated into modern English. It's perhaps a bit clearer when you see his name in Germany: Karl der Große. Anyway it's not a name. His name is part of it, but it's a title. You use it to talk *about* him, but you wouldn't say to him, "Hey, Charlemagne, wanna grab a beer?" You'd just call him Charles. Or Karl, if you're German.

Unimportant Commenter no it means Charles the great Charlo mean Charles magne means great so nope not true

@@IncomitatusExcelsior or Karel de Grote if your dutch

Kinda like real life

Yeah the lustful negates it. She was completely interested.

He doesn't have the tech to improve his hospital. That gear symbol means your tech is too low to upgrade that building.

He doesn't want the filthy commoners to steal his pickled boar's heads

Mmmm... Pickled boar's heads!

It is equally due to the fact that his demense is too small (3/9) and he wants more land. This drives him to revoke as much as possible, even if he goes over. If he goes over he then starts to give away titles.

then that is why AI gets revolts so damn often ?

"Go away Karl, this isn't Aachen!" (heh, crappy 4-holding province as the capital of the HRE. What was he even thinking?)

It's so odd since Paris wasn't France's capital until after the end of the ck2 era. Before the court was moved to Versailles outside Paris in 1682 the French capital was in fact Reims.

seems like quill is going to have a hard time, you can see the current king doesnt like him much, so we may see revocation demand again next episode

@@harbl99 lmaooo

that is ambitious and wouldn't really like him... I'm not sure if that is a good idea

Doesn't matter. Her kids would be his kids.

For some reason, some kids of geniuses turn out slow.

Definitely should. Gregarious, ambitious, deceitful, cynical genius lesbian. How the hell could you miss out on this one? She’s like 274% cooler, than his current embodiment of boredom.

Made the mistake of marrying a genius/ambitious woman before on my Sussex playthrough. I had consolidated the duchies of Kent and Essex, as well as grabbed most of Wessex and all of Cornwall. I was in position to bring down Mercia and get situated to create the kingdom of England title. She did bear me a genius son, and a spare. I was happy, even thrilled. Then she murdered my only brother, whom I had given a barony. No big deal, I thought. Then she murdered me when my son was 11 years old while I was winning against the King of Mercia. Throwing me into a regency, I lost the war when my Saxony ally peaced out. She then botched up my genius son, weakened me to the point that Northumbria smelled blood in the water and evidently sowed discontent with my vassals until a rebellion arose. By the time I regained control and fought off Northumbria, I was broke and betrothed to an awful woman. Worse yet, Mercia had regrouped. It took me around 50 years longer than it should have to unite Britain. You could say that it was due to the Ambitious trait, but stupid ambitious is manageable while genius makes them too good at intrigue.

Correct. This always drives me crazy when trying to embark.

Yeah, there are few things in CK2 more annoying than having like 20 dudes more than your ships can hold and having to remove hundreds of them to fit them

....or splitting a 1,000 man army to fit into a 6 fleet just to get a 200 & 800 force.

I mean, he also did nothing while said king got put in prison in the first place, probably lucky the king decided to essentially call it even.

While "Karloman" sounds more like "Charlemagne", the "-magne" part of "Charlemagne" just means "the Great"; his original name was just "Charles"/"Karl".

If you did end up learning more, could you tell me why he wasnt forced to join the civil war?

Karloman never survives? Thought this was about alt-history.

Karloman has a slight chance of living IF Charlemagne dies before 771, or if Karloman wins a war against Charlemagne. Other than that, Charlemagne always lives and then proceeds to bordergore Europe to death.

Same way he was blackmailing himself, clearly :P

Yes he can! By abdicating.

inperatieloos I'm guessing that anybody who had a faction against Charlemagne at the time joined in once a rebellion actually fired. Either that, or something opinion based. It may be something special with tbe Charlemagne expansion, too, who knows, lol

If you are in a faction when your liege tries to revoke your title and you refuse, the faction revolt fires immediately. He was UNBELIEVEABLY lucky for there to be a faction with 121% to exist at the time of revocation.

So if he had accepted the title revocation would that have actually ended his game or would he just get demoted?

No, he would have lost his only title, can't play the game without that. Usually, you might as well accept cause with 400 and so much man he would have gotten trampled by the king's forces, guess he got insanely lucky this time

It was because he joined the faction. Quill was incredibly lucky that he joined that faction. I doubt he knew how this mechanic worked.

yes. the fact that he joined a faction before clicking decline to the king's plan to revoke paris has triggered the rebellion with all of the vassals involved in the faction, and somehow making quill the leader of the revolt. had he not joined the faction, this series would be over lol

Smickles oh my god youre right

Just read Prelude to Foundation again earlier this year... apt reference green mushroom. :)

nope, its because he was in a faction, if any member of a faction revolts every member rises up with them automatically, if he didnt join that faction he would be all alone

The war was not about the Council, any time a ruler revoke a title and someone refuses RIGHTFUL( when not a traitor or liege has claim) a War Against Tryranny fires and any vassal can join the cause if dislikes liege, or deny for 0 prestige cost.

no, it was, when the faction revolt fires due to a member of the faction refusing to get their land revoked it merges the two causes, as you can tell, in the peace deal, the council power DID get increased, as per the factions wishes, it simply also merged Quills goal to make the king abdicate this is a legitmate and document feature of the game

Well the liege did accept the "Increase Council power" ultimatum :D War against Tyranny is trigged when refuses to accept revoke of title. Check Wiki Alina. "Legitimate and document feature of the game"

Yes, but it takes a few days for everyone to join the war, if you notice everyone revolted the MOMENT he hit his button.... this was people FORCED into the war, like i said before, its a MERGE of the two wars, yes, people joined the tyrrany part, but umlitmately it was the faction revolt that revolted the moment he refused the title revocation that saved him

immortal*

why not?

I only use the tons of kids at start of game, where unexpected deaths can be problematic. Later on, it becomes a hot mess to have 6 boys in gavelkind, not to mention the power struggles. Once I've got a king title and my power base set with primo, I will even marry off excess sons in matrilineal marriages to areas far enough that they won't be a problem, but close enough to get opinion bonus from children of the line. So, like, if I'm in Germany, Aquitaine, Lombardy, Denmark.
