welp
looks like I have some titles to hand out
I was five minutes away from declaring everyone chat abandoners and starting my own new chat thread. I am happy now.
You have done well.
It is the future.

Sorry Cinds.
Did you at least get advice?
or
I find some disaffected member of my family and make him head of a crusader state
the Kingdom of Hungary, the new bastion of Christendom in the east
Because yes/no isn't that simple: Yes can be "Yes. That's right. Sure. Yes, that's right. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yep. Correct." and so on.
Grammar all the things.
Binary solo!
welp
Uh... no, thank you.
*as much walzing as you can do with a small token army
Sorry.
I'd have given it to one of my sons and given it freedom.
problem solved and your dynasty is on the throne of the Kingdom of Jerusalem
or watch them get eaten by marauding Slavs
either or
As far as I remember my ruler didn't have any heirs then. He was pretty young and the crusade was basically the first time he showed up in international events. It was planned as a meet-n-greet, not as a military campaign!
I do! I appreciate that the larger menus look convoluted and it would be much easier to have a "Press 0 for representative" option at most menus to avoid the stress, but that's not what our bosses want.
And Speech can go sit in the corner.
I tend to keep a few branches of the family going for situations like that. No claims to your lands but they're still your dynasty so in a pinch you can set them up.
carpathian thunderdome here we come
Yep!
Ad hoc announcements are a pain if you don't plan them out. I'd use some kind of text to speech system to say something like "We report that" [Service] "Is inoperative in the "[location]" area and will be restored at "[time]
A neat little trick our billing menu has is to ping the relevant billing interfaces to check that they're available at the very beginning of a call. If the ping fails, you don't even get a greeting, it's "sorry, this system is down right now, pay by other means." That way you don't usually get the hassle of dialing in your details all for it to fail.
Playing just to put the world under one color is boring.
Play to replace all the monarchies with republics.
In Kaiserreich, I generally play to build or expand an alliance rather than make the map monochrome.
Although national provinces mean that the border regions are often monochrome.
This was the plan (make a bunch of interior republics in Hungary) but then I realised that there's a bunch of duchies in Hungary that have zero cities within them
oh well!
Build cities. Obviously.
