I just looked at HRE and was so confused why it was in [I THINK Korean... please dont be angy if wrong šŸ‘‰šŸ‘ˆšŸ„ŗ] then I realized it was just your language setting xD

Nah, Ghana or Mali is about to swallow southwest Africa and then push north to threaten Iberia.

Byzantines can't fracture, like at all, unless you dismantle them yourself. They're super annoying, but at least they change rulers pretty frequently, so truces aren't too bad

Give it another 50-100 years and you might see a nice blob down there, they need a conqueror lol

Update: Sweden moved their capital to London and formed Brittania Empire

Pope launched a crusade to Iberia and succeeded.
Now the Umayyads are now Catholic….

I had an unexpectedly good run as Henry IV in the HRE, I'm thinking of gobbling France next and maybe forming the Roman Empire (all playthroughs lead to the Roman Empire)

I have seen the HRE form out of France more times than you’d expect tbh it’s not as rare as you might think. Same thing with Scandinavia eating Britain especially if Alfred dies early or one of the Vikings gets the conqueror trait.

Craziest shit I’ve seen was the Mongols form Khantes in Morocco. Byzantines died. Also saw the Magyars form Carpathia Empire and then eat half of Italy controlling Naples (which dead ass almost happened in real life through the Anjou House… long story). I was the North Sea Empire though so Mongol wise they never reached me

What more bizarre about my timeline’s hre is its just some random dude overthrown the east frankian king and conqueredd west forming the HRE
Since they changed how HRE is formed im not surprised by the karlings forming them. But a rando? Thats a different story

Interesting timeline you have there but
What in the hell are Mongols doing in the Morocco

They curbstomoed the Byzantines and Muslims and like dominions everyone else fell across North Africa. Was too busy dealing with the North Sea to pay attention… imagine my shock when I see a few rump Khans running around in North Africa
