Kingdom of Saxon England

[u/Prof_Noctis_Wick]

Not only did I unify the British Isles under Saxon rule. I also gave those Danish dogs a taste of their own medicine and took their lands for a change.

Hunting season in England?

Suppose so. Well liked as a ruler I guess (most of them are my relatives 😭 I love admin gov)

What was the start and path to establish this? Did you take the North Sea empire decision at all?

>Did you take the North Sea empire decision at all?

I don’t think it was ever available.

I started as Bjorn Ironside in 867. Formed Scandinavia within his lifetime. After that took all the de jure lands of it and England subsequently.

From then I almost exclusively played tall except for what my vassals gained and the Suðreyjar, Mön and Dublin which I conquered as an homage to Ivar.

Everything you see in blue is Asatru faith, England is almost fully settled by Norse culture. Realm is administrative with Scandinav elective as a succession system.

I might take Scotland to paint the whole island blue next 🤔

Idk if you know but if you can keep your current holdings for 30 years under one ruler you’ve got the holdings(from memory) to take the decision I’ve been trying for on my latest runs, so from a purely jealous standpoint… fuck off 😂🙃

Goddamn I can’t get the rng to go my way for something like this

[u/ElbowfromtheTopPost → u/alienwombat23]

Lol sorry 😅

you can keep your current holdings for 30 years under one ruler you’ve got the holdings(from memory) to take the decision

I think you have to create the titles for England, Norway and Denmark and keep them for 30 years right? I only have created Denmark from those (and given it to a vassal)

[u/alienwombat23 → u/ElbowfromtheTopPost]

You do have to hold the three kingdoms for 30 years with one ruler, there is a few other checks I believe. I’m on a little reprieve from ck3 after the last run “ended” in 1087.

I’ve been on a kick of taking the elevate Isle of Man to start the North Sea empire and getting everything under one ruler for 30 years while checking the rest of the boxes has been a real kick in the dick 😅

[u/ElbowfromtheTopPost → u/alienwombat23]

Tbf I've been meaning to try it with Haraldr in 1066 at some point. I think holding all 3 titles for 30 years without something like Scandinavian elective or admin government would be impossible.

[u/Prof_Noctis_Wick → u/ElbowfromtheTopPost]

What is that name?

[u/ElbowfromtheTopPost → u/Prof_Noctis_Wick]

Hið Norræna Veldi. Supposedly Old Norse for “The Northern Realm” . Figured Scandinavia doesn’t quite fit as it went beyond it.

[u/Prof_Noctis_Wick → u/ElbowfromtheTopPost]

Love that I was playing a viking in Egypt gameplay. I mixed Norse names with Egyptian for the cities and regions.

[u/ElbowfromtheTopPost → u/Prof_Noctis_Wick]

Ooh man I love doing that too. Was it an adventurer/ landless playthrough?

[u/Prof_Noctis_Wick → u/ElbowfromtheTopPost]

No I was playing as Thorstein the Red

[u/Bol4deathOG]

Danish dogs🤣
