I must say, I never thought politics would be fun.

I press a claim on a neighbor, after assassinating the Duke and his son.

We slug it out, I cant siege because he had 5 more defenders than my army. So I pulled back (do levies ever regen?)

Then my wife tries to kill my hier, most likely to help her father who was king of Norway. I have her beaten severely and executed. Then my other son turns up homosexual, which does wonders for reputation. So of course I beat him, but he took it the wrong way and I believe he had alot to do with what happened next.

Finally my Duke dies mysteriously, taking with him 2 of my council members, and 300 of my levies. Oh and it seems the guy I had a claim on has allies... I wonder how long I can hold out with my 123 remaining levies.

I have not lost this much since GWX.

Then again I am still learning. I never played the first Crusader Kings.

I am kinda annoyed you can't play Muslim or Pagan. In any game about the crusades, I always like to turn the tables, and conquer Rome as a Muslim. I feel cheated.
