I don't know if this would rather belong to /v/, but what about having a discussion about what kind of traits historical figures in our countries would have in Crusader Kings 2(ck2). That could stir up interest as autistic at it sounds. To those who aren't familiar with the traits in ck2, it is basically this:
ck2.paradoxwikis.com
Mod traits are also welcomed if there are any.
Historical figures evaluation thread
I will give out some random examples from my country with justification for them:
Stephen the Great (medieval ruler): Skilled Tactician ( he was good, brought nothing new to the table and is believed to have fought in 40+ battles), Brawny(fought with two handed sword), Lusful( had a ton of bastards), Charitable (built tons of monasteries), Cruel, Wroth(according to chronicles), Maimed(later in life), Brave, Diligent, Proud, Skilled fighter
Ion Antonescu (ww2 general): Skilled Tactician( fought in 4 wars, gave Hitler useful advice whom the Fuehrer ignored),
Brave (welcomed execution with a salute), Honourable, Diligent, Honest, Proud, Wroth, Trained Fighter
As a note: the fighter traits are from a mod and they are working like this:
Poor Fighter(only knows the basics or to brawl), Trained Fighter(professionaly trained to fight), Skilled(both trained and a lot of personal combat experience), Formidable(so good that was one of the best fighters in the world).
Ivan The Terrible
cruel
wroth
charitable
kinslayer
authoritative
poor fighter
just
and misguided warrior
That is kinda good. I know the guy I've read about him.
Why poor fighter tho? Wasn't he a nobleman ( in the sense that noblemen received martial training)
welll its about his skill as a comandeer.You know Livonian war was a total disaster.And he didnt receive any martial training because boyars didnt allow him to.His childhood was really fucked up.

He didn't really invent anything.
>strong
Wouldn't call him that either. But probably in his youth he was so indeed.
>excellent fighter
He wasn't White Death-tier tho.
Otherwise I agree, he was kind and just to his people and a great leader overall.
>Charles did not learn to speak until the age of four nor to walk until eight,[6] and was treated as virtually an infant until he was ten years old. His jaw was so badly deformed (an extreme example of the so-called Habsburg jaw) that he could barely speak or chew.

The difference is European nations are Enlightened Christians, where as Muslims are barbarous backward savages.
>Enlightened Christians
No such thing. European ''Christians'' are just castrated larpers playing pretend. Anyone who read the Bible would know most of today's Western ''Christians'' don't follow Christianity at all. The Bible commands people to stone adulters, have women cover their hair and not eat Pork.
>But the Old Testament doesn't count!
Nice try, but Jesus himself said that the OT is the word of God and should be followed. Also, Enlightened my ass. Europeans were savages who genocided entire continents and enslaved entire races. You didn't bring any ''Enlightenment''. You just replaced them with slave owners and colonizers, So spare me your false higher moral ground.
Remove attractive, and replace it with 'Siege Leader". Her impeccable artillery skills are a miracle alone, not counting the rest of her accolades.
Not the guy you replied to, but the """"enlightment"""" was a mistake. Anyone looking to that thing and saying to himself "it was good" is dishonest.
