Resurrection:
I recently got back into this game... all I can say is that unifying Ireland is hard if you stupidly marry your daughters to dukes and princes of England and wales, only to have her grandchildren hold claims to your land and try to screw you over with devious plots. Time to poison them all.
In a more interesting game, I was the count of Weimar. I successfully became Chancellor to the Duke, and betrothed my son to the princess of Rus. The King died, making my son in line to become King.
Fast forward to my faction for the Duchy, my leader raids the duchy capital and besieges it for a few years and dies of pneumonia. One year away from sixteen, his son has the genius trait.
He comes of age and we have all of the Kingdom of Rus under our control. We leave Weimar to a vassal and then he dies during a relatively peaceful tenure. His son is 2 and his brother-in-law eyes the kingdom and assassinates the heir. Game over.
