@Welcome To the Milk Hotel I don't think Christians are anywhere near the top of the list of most powerful religions. I would say peformed Pagans are objectively the strongest religion in the game, largely depending on how you build the religion and somewhat depending which Pagan religion you are reforming. Hellenism is easily the best to reform because of the absolutely broken Civilized doctrine because your vassals do not receive opinion penalties for raised levies (very strong) and you get Syncretism (not very strong but it's free) and Meritocracy which allows you to designate your heir (absolutely broken). This allows you to go to war indefinitely and allows a lot of realm stability due to you being able to select your best child to rule after you. I'd argue that the best reformed Pagan build would be Proselytizing for your Nature, Civilized + Polygamy for Doctrines and Temporal for Leadership (Temporal is generally best since you control when you launch your GHWs but Hierocratic should be considered since you can excommunicate and imprison any unruly vassals on a whim.) This should give you a very stable realm in which you can constantly be at war with your neighbors and also have the potential to have a continuous line of powerful rulers. With Proselytizing (Warmongering is usually best but you already have the immunity to raised vassal levy opinion malus) your subjects will convert the land you conquer quickly.

Wow, haha.... I literally just tried playing Dobrava yesterday, before seeing this video, and didn't realise she had that amazing courtier. Man, I fucked up real bad! She basically spent her whole life looking for someone to marry matrilineally and came to no avail, so eventually married to some random Avar petty king; then she got completely ransacked by the invading Tengrists and became disfigured. She sacrificed an eye for a healthy son, but went through a traumatic pregnancy anyway. Then her husband and three sons died of dysentery. Then a literal portal to hell opened up on her land and she made another sacrifice to the gods (this time one of her arms) in hopes for prosperity in her land and an end to her curse. Then she tried to seduce some of the invaders hoping to get a bastard from one of them who they would not legitimize so that she could *finally* get an heir. And when she finally got in bed with the man who first invaded her country all those years ago, he murders her only a few days later. A very sad end to that short play-through honestly...

In my current campaign, Charlemagne inherited Middle Francia, lost West Francia to a faction that put Theoderic the Merovingian back in power, then lost Middle Francia to a revolt that gave the kingdom to Theoderic. There’s also currently a war to put Charlemagne in power in Lombardy which will probably succeed, so Charlemagne will rule over Lombardy without any French territory.

Just to reiterate: the Theoderic thing is a lot harder to do indirectly as a schemer and warrior for the Merovingians. I like to use Count Voodoo of Lyon for this, since he and his descendants can easily conquer Burgundy as a vassal kingdom once the Merovingian king form the empire, making you a little more insulated from random royal madness. You can still press Theo's claims even though he is a monk. Once you get him propped up on a throne he will start breeding, usually with some alcoholic woman with leprosy. One of the many joys of indirect power grabs. I swear it's as if the AI looks for the most useless traits it can find sometimes...

I would love to see the feminarchy campaign! Also, I think Duke Afonso, in a 1139-ish start, is an interesting character to play. He is the subject of the Iberian-powerfull Castille and he is facing-off united muslims on his south. Historically, he became independent, forming the Kingdom of Portugal and conquering muslims lands, when the a dynasty fell from grace and the taifas were formed. Heck, even playing him as king during the Almohad period - which begins at 1180, roughly - is pretty interesting: the castillians have vassals and courtiers who own counties on Portugal and the Almohads are very eager on reconquering.

I love the count of Nantes 867 but I found that starting as the Viken is better. You start with a bloodline, you can north korea the double duchy you got and take your time to actualy prepare your invasion. Haestening is old. You can die early wich will remove you the choice of conversion and you'll have a big regency or your heir might not count as valide since they start as norse pagans. With the vikens, I made a christian kingdom of jerusalem with the outremer culture (norse-> norman-> outremer) and I took my time to take parts sicily and some other islands like malroca and krete to make merchant republics as vasals to sustain my christian kingdom in a sea of muslim. The Vikens should be above haestining.

My opinion of an intresting character missed out: Count Grimr of Nidaros (769). For the following reasons. 1: Starts the game on a Pagan Holy site and can thereby either invade or swear fielty to Sweden/Denmark to reform. 2: Starts the game with a generally bigger army than neighbours. 3: Will have an easy time plundring West Europe due to being situated on the Norwegian coastline.
