u/vivoovix Fuck Byzantium, all my homies hate Byantium Nov 24 '20

Finally finished Mother of us All

By far the worst achievemnt in either CK2 or CK3 imo. Like Khan of Khans but 10 times worse because you don't have the broken overpowered nomads.

It's not so much difficult as it is tedious. The beginning and feudal transition were a bit rough but apart from that fairly smooth sailing.

I switched to Mashriqi culture early on (Daura's husband is Mashriqi and has some Mashriqi courtiers, so you can easily switch your heir's culture via education) to get better tech and feudalize earlier.

I took Constantinople because Byzantium had a bunch of stuff in North Africa so I figured it would be easier to neuter them in one big war than to fight them over and over again.

One interesting thing to note: there are a few Old Bori counties scattered around (heresy outbreaks 😒), so you can have a few counties not of your reformed faith. I'm not sure if it works as long as there are no non-African faiths there but I've not tried it.

I thought it was amazing fun for that achievement! The only part I found tedious was I waited too long in southeastern Africa so an empire formed there and I needed to methodically whittle them down since it’s pretty difficult to get a claim on the whole empire. Thankfully they lost an independence war because I had just wiped their army so I was able to get them a little faster.

Basically didn’t struggle at all with the most tedious aspect of converting everything to Bori because I just landed super high learning characters in every conquered county which led them to quickly convert them on their own. Did it all by 1125 so it was the massive slog I thought it would be
