No magic or supernatural elements. It's gonna be just real world stuff/tech.
Still have a few hours dude.
Honestly I just like the name "Alexander" and once I saw that our grandfather and the previous Emperor was named Philip I thought it would be a cool name for a plan. We still have our education and starting traits to pick from so as of yet the personality of the character is still up in the air.I honestly don't understand how people came to conclusion not!HRE/early German Empire = Alexander the Great. It's obvious we would have to deal with a bunch of internal bullshit before being able to do anything, which is boring. With Frontier though we could become the Ruler of the Steppes, conquering both Russians and Mongols before looking towards either East or West. It's different and unusual.
Not to mention any CK II player should feel ashamed of themselves for voting for a start that's already an Emperor
The Aztecs are an empire spanning the entire Americas, we're not exactly giving historical accuracy much weight here.
We do have to deal with political situations, but if we wanted an actual stable empire in Russia/Mongolia we'd have to do similar things. Smoothing over interracial tensions, managing feudal vassals, tax laws, legal cases... you get the idea.
Most of the America's. They don't the gulf islands (yet) and it's dealing with rivals in the Inca and rebellions are at this moment preventing them from total dominance right now.
You have any idea how hard conquering the steppes and keeping them stable is? Better to start with some actually civilized territory.I honestly don't understand how people came to conclusion not!HRE/early German Empire = Alexander the Great.

Fair enough. It was mostly because of comment(s? can't remember) about conquering Europe that boggled my mind. Still think it's boring compared to becoming a Russian Khan tho.
Sunset Invasion was a mistake.
Sure, but it (probably) wouldn't be our first focus. It's obvious from the description of the Heir that we'd have to deal with all the shit happening in our own backyard first, while with Frontier... Well, I'm not sure, probably trying to consolidate the Frontier before attacking Rus? Still would have to deal with bureaucracy at one point, but it isn't as obvious problem as the former; taxes, vassals etc. would be a problem no matter where we would have started.
We're a Russian version of Ghengis Khan. If he could do it, we would do the same. But, you know, better 'cause we're going to conquer the whole world.
Fite me, m8.
Conquering the world in medieval times just isn't feasible, it is logistically impossible to govern such a large empire. You're going to run into problems after a while and then you're stuck actually ruling what land you already have. Unless you want your empire to fracture after your death, like with Alexander and even Ghengis. No, if we want to conquer the world it has to be a multi-generational project, which is much harder to do when you're a steppe civilization. Nomads are pretty hard to control.
No it isnt. it is best DLC.
