The Emperor and the King became best friends after they both had the carousing trait and would be in a loop of inviting each other over for parties. However, after a few months, even though they were best pals for, like, 4 years The King decided to fuck the Emperor's wife and daughter.

The best out of context that I've ever seen is "I seduced my sister and she is bearing my child, should I have her killed?"
[quote=Some guy on the CK2 Reddit] I was playing as a homosexual, lustful, hedonist Byzantine emperor. The heir to the second most powerful family was twelve year old homosexual boy, so I decided to take him as a ward, in hope that when he came of age I could take him as a lover, putting the family tension at ease. Immediately, I get a pop-up event saying I turned him lustful. I was molesting this twelve year old boy. I continued warding him, until a day before his sixteenth birthday I got an event saying he was climbing to top of a tower. "Too old" I said as I pushed him off. He died a maimed cripple on his sixteenth birthday. It wasn't until I finished playing that I realized I molested a little boy who loved, then killed him because he was becoming too old for my pedophile tastes.[/quote] this game is too fucking real, like just constant shit like this and then even in my own games, like, the other fucking day I found out I've accidentally imprisoned some girl for like 60 fucking years on complete accident, just forgot about her, and so I let her out and she has a positive opinion of me of like 30 so I'm pretty sure I gave her stockholm syndrome this game is too real, it's too fucking real
Nothing's better than seeing the pope kill himself in battle

So the situation in Spain is getting pretty frustrating. The area is pretty much now split half me, half Muslim nations. I can't declare war on any of them, for any reason, it seems, without all of them ganging up on me. Any ideas on what I could do to get around this?

They won't have the religious call to arms of a holy war so it'll be 1 on 1. The Reconquista is really difficult from the 1066 start date since even though the muslims are divided they will react uniformally in the event of a holy war. Could you post a screenshot?

I found myself in the middle of a beginning war with three sons, the kingdom to be split between them on my death, and myself with a bad case of measles. I knew this wouldn't end well. It's something of a tradition in the House of Jimena to go out in the midst of a war, to disease. It happened to the previous ruler and the ruler before him, and each struggled to reunite the realm. I was on my deathbed, and I knew it. I wouldn't let the kingdom be split once more. I had bumped up crown authority, but it wasn't enough to declare primogeniture. There was only one thing I could do. Imprison and execute two of my sons. King Enrique II would go down, loathed by his vassals, by his surviving son, by the Kingdom, by the Pope, by all good men. None would ever accept or understand the sacrifice he made for his vision; Hispania. But indeed, he was prepared to sacrifice the opinions of his vassals, the opinion of everyone, he was prepared to give up his place in God's Kingdom, and toil in the flames of Hell, for Hispania. And so, the order was given. Juan and Suero Enriquez were arrested, taken, and executed. The deed was done. The Pope sent his excommunication. And then?

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48444881][url=http://www.stellariswiki.com/Species]Species for Stellaris[/url] A stunning 6 species + humans :poot: ...variety![/QUOTE] It was confirmed that there are 6 [B]genera[/B] not 6 species. So there will be more species than 6 (and why there are already two mammal species).

[QUOTE=Anderan;48442590]Clearly a sign from Satan. You know what you must do.[/QUOTE] Well, if the sign is to reload, then I did so. :v: I tried to make it through that with the intention of dying as soon as I possibly could. I threw myself at battles, even ones that I was at a disadvantage in, in the hopes of dying. My vassals all hated me but didn't do much beyond form factions, nobody trying to just kill me like I hoped. In fact, things went strangely well. The Pope lifted my excommunication and I gained a ton of new territory. It all came crashing down though when three fucking rebellions started, and the HRE declared war on me. I knew it was all screwed from there, so I reloaded. I've been going pretty easy on the save scumming because it's my first time around, and I figure some breaks are in order to learn the game properly and see what's possible. After reloading and [I]not[/I] going crazy homocidal, I won the territory again, formed a new kingdom, and made some pretty good progress. I lived to like, 66 or something like that, until I caught great pox. I read a book which wasted my time and somehow gave me the option to become depressed, so I cunningly took it, imprisoned and executed my two younger sons and then committed suicide, sparing the nation any consequence at all from my actions. The Spanish Peninsula (I have no idea if that's what it's called but whatever) is mostly rid of Muslim nations, and it's coming down to me and Barcelona. Barcelona is an independent, small duchy, and the only thing in the way of me forming Hispania, but the problem is that I have no way to absorb them that I can tell. They naturally refuse to be vassalized, they don't share blood with me, and they're just sort of there, chilling. Dunno how to declare war on them except the slow, toiling process of fabricating a claim on each individual county until I can usurp a title, which could take [I]years.[/I] I also have no idea if I'm doing well or not in the game. It's around 1160-1170 somethin', and like I said, nearly unified Spain. It's also hard to tell directly how powerful I am. I have no idea if I'd fare well in a war with France, England, or the HRE, who I sort of see as the big three, nor how to go about conquering them in the first place. My goals for the game are to unite Spain and form Hispania, and conquer at least one of the big three powers, but I'd also like to not have to wait a thousand years for my chancellor or whatever Councillor handles that to fabricate claims on Barcelona.
Its called the Iberian peninsula just a little fyi The more you know
[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;48448138]Its called the Iberian peninsula just a little fyi The more you know[/QUOTE] so that's what the Iberian peninsula is for the record my geography is fucked up, like, I took 'human geography', I used to imagine Portugal as being on the west coast of Africa dude fuckin' CK2 is teaching me more geography so far than school ever did :v:

You should be able to form Hispania without just one duchy. Once you do form it you should get a claim.
[QUOTE=Anderan;48448807]You should be able to form Hispania without just one duchy. Once you do form it you should get a claim.[/QUOTE] I think it might be multiple? I'm not sure. I've been very focused on the muslims to be focusing on Barcelona. Plus it's a little weird trying to figure out all the duchies and territories and what does exist and what doesn't as a beginner. Oh hey, that reminds me, is there a way to fabricate claims on higher titles than a county? I've noticed NPCs trying to fabricate claims on entire kingdoms, but I don't seem to be able to do that myself.

Also forming an empire just requires two kingdom titles and having 80% of the empires de jure land.
If your chancellor is skilled there's a chance to fabricate a claim on the whole duchy instead of only the county iirc.
[QUOTE=Kljunas;48449206]If your chancellor is skilled there's a chance to fabricate a claim on the whole duchy instead of only the county iirc.[/QUOTE] It's best to fabricate the claim and then immediately try to sow dissent. If you do that, vassals of the enemy may not raise troops, or sometimes outright revolt and let you step in
