I literally cannot stop him from fucking the wife of the emperor of Japan. He's extremely fertile. I think it has something to do with his many ridges
unlabelledView post →These have been the fastest five years of my life. Five years ago, we under Covid laws, I was moving house, and launching what was - at that point - the biggest game I've ever been a part of. Happy birthday to Crusader Kings III and congratulations to the whole team.

unlabelledView post →Yeah. It's an old Crusader war cry / motto, but it's been *thoroughly* taken over by white supremacists and nasty far-right "Christians". The implications are so bad nowadays, that Paradox removed it from their game *Crusader Kings III* where it would have been historically appropriate!

unlabelledView post →Crusader Kings III! It’s a game I work with. In this instance, the player has created an adventurer character who can wander the world. And, with the right skills, rob people. The core game is about ruling a medieval dynasty, but we’ve added a lot of flexibility in recent updates.
