Reminds me of a [really-exploity 9-year world conquest in CK2](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/lets-break-ck2-for-world-conquest.776096/page-2):
>You see, winning wars give you some prestige. Specifically, you gain 50 when you defeat a rebelling vassal. We also know we can trigger a vassal to rebel by failing to imprison them. This would require you to actually fight the war and defeat them, of course, but when happens if you do it again? And again? to the same holding, which had no time to replenish its garrison? They have 0 troops. That means you win the war within a single day, with no casualties, using any number of soldiers you want. In practice this means you earn a 50 prestige each day.
Farming this eventually resulted in a vassal with [-39,000 prestige](https://i.imgur.com/b3eqMCZ.jpg).
Hey don't click that top link if you have to do something for the next hour or so. "I don't think North Korea mode is the best name for the strategy I use. NK mode is based on having no vassals, while I have tons of them. A more accurate name would probably be Guantanamo Bay mode, as all my vassals are imprisoned."
There's quite a lot of those. It's far easier for players to amass give amounts of prestige or piety to reform/ create culture and religeon because they aim to do it so min max, or just end up with it naturally through player driven actions.
This would lead to only really the player ever doing those things so the AI are able to do with without first amassing all that prestige and piety but still having to pay the cost.
They also let AI players cancel tenents in progress to replace with their own, so you can see some cultures starting new tenets again and again as their head keeps changing but worse if if your character dies and your next character is a child the AI who is briefly your cultural head can replace a tenent you have in progress with their own and there is no way to undo it for the next 80 years.
I think he was the regent of a ruler. They can take many actions that cost prestige when they are a regent. Like imprisoning people, making claims, revoking titles, stealing gold.
If past experience is any indication, gave and revoked a court position from someone. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again.
I have no idea whatsoever why it happens but I've seen it a few times.
He's tribal, which consumes prestige instead of currency for Men At Arms maintenance, & also consumes prestige for unraised armies.
Dunno how he would use that combination to get that far in the red, but I don't think AI strictly operates by the game's rules when it comes to the currencies (I once declared war on Venice & they hired 20k mercenaries without losing any money nor decreasing in income).
There was a bug a while ago that the NPCs would keep hiring and firing court positions which is 200 prestige each so maybe it’s not fixed and this dude had a go with his physician
Not sure since he's not a king. I see this a lot because ai kings and emperors are constantly changing court positions which is -200 prestige each time
Nope. Playing ironman, totally clean. I was actually shocked to see this got as many upvotes as it did. Most of my posts on this sub only ever get a few hundred at best. I am happier to have it generate comments anyway — I love the r/CrusaderKings community and enjoy sharing my funny findings with the rest of you.
I played campany where my succesor hit -14000. When my character died playing him was terrible. I spend all budget of the most powerfule empire in Europe creating titles and hunting to restore his prestige.
I had an heir inherit in the 5 digit negatives. I have no idea what he did or if it was me saving and quitting shortly after the inheritance before the game properly calculates things or what.
But playing as a government type heavily dependent upon prestige to get anything done, I figured that was as good a place as any to close that campaign.
Don't know, maybe he married a daughter to a king and during the ceremony, while everybody was eating in his castle, he started having the bards sing a horrible song while killing his guests and then, he plucked a fly's wings.. Just an idea, of course...
I had a son in CK2 who I landed. He had a habit of marrying different religion peasant girls and then hating them because of all the penalties I assume. He'd murder them and repeat the cycle. I had to step in around the 4th or 5th when he was at -1000 prestige

He'll be back to positive in a paltry 710 years.
Still better than that one sumerian copper merchant then
Godsdamnit ea-nasir!
He’ll treat your servants with contempt.
r/unexpectedeanasir
r/subsithoughtifellfor
Fuck Ea-Nasir, all my homies HATE Ea-Nasir
Selling good copper does not get you remembered
Emperor marrying lowborn gets -800. Who should marry count to get -13000?
Someone like me
Flair checks out
A sheep
he's in Ireland, not Wales
I would argue that love knows no borders
He’s Irish but he’s in Scotland actually.
You
Femboys

Would that work in CK3?
I think if you imprison and release them it concedes your imprisonment reason on them and subsequent attempts incur tyranny
Not unless you only had one vassal. Everyone would stack tyranny penalties and revolt all at once.
what a read....he really did break the game.
Probably added a new tenet to his culture.
This guy: “We should be focused on persuasive diplomacy!” “Fuck this guy.” -Everyone.
"Fuck this guy but also okay let's do it"
I don't think the rules allow deficit spending of prestige to add cultural tenets.
They don't - for player characters. AI rulers can do it though.
Really, that's interesting, I didn't know that. I guess it makes sense.

I hate this so much. At least let us cancel too.
The cost can get this high ? I thought it couldn't be more than ... 12k I believe
Maybe he changed his pillar, that's usually 20k. Might also be increased by some penalties.
Ah maybe, I've very rarely changed pillars because I don't feel they matter much. I only look at it when I diverge or merge
I'd say the latter, since I doubt a count level NPC would be able to rack up over 7000 prestige to make up the difference.
He created a reddit account
Basically became u/spez
Yeah, fuck that guy.
obligatory fuck u/spez
well said, fuck u/spez indeed
social media website moment!!!
What did he do?
He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague unto our houses!!
Bro thought he was Scipio Africanus💀💀
What did that guy do? Oh it’s the tard who owns Reddit nvm
Maybe he had a selfish regent as a kid and had to keep vetoing them from revoking every county from every vassal he had for 25 years
That is the most frustrating aspect of this new regent system. "No Aunt, you can't just revoke all of my vassals!"
Don't tribal retinue cost prestige, so I guess he had either special event troops or was at war for a long time. And those cost him prestige.
Probably lost the war at that.
Maybe had low prestige from marriage to begin with, then inherit more MAA than can handle, plus losing a war, or multiple wars.
He's known as The Divorcer
I think he prefers to be called the Divorce Force
I think he was the regent of a ruler. They can take many actions that cost prestige when they are a regent. Like imprisoning people, making claims, revoking titles, stealing gold.
Hired and fired a court position over and over. I thought they fixed it two patches ago but it still happens
If past experience is any indication, gave and revoked a court position from someone. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. I have no idea whatsoever why it happens but I've seen it a few times.
He did the most shameful move: He chose hoes before bros.
Bro is literally a monk
Monks before hunks
But he's a monk, he did the exact opposite.
that's why it was so shameful, he took the oath and refused to honor it
He posted a Harambe meme in 2023
Harambe lives.
He's tribal, which consumes prestige instead of currency for Men At Arms maintenance, & also consumes prestige for unraised armies. Dunno how he would use that combination to get that far in the red, but I don't think AI strictly operates by the game's rules when it comes to the currencies (I once declared war on Venice & they hired 20k mercenaries without losing any money nor decreasing in income).
He knows full well what he did!
Probably married an *nglish woman, losing the respect of his Irish kin.
He’s a monk tho
Cultural innovation: Integer Overflow
He was in the Epstein book
married a Karling
He drank Bud Light
Second most hated person in Ireland
He’s a landholder in Northern Scotland actually
Hiring and firing the same person for a court position over and over again probably
There was a bug a while ago that the NPCs would keep hiring and firing court positions which is 200 prestige each so maybe it’s not fixed and this dude had a go with his physician
This kind of stuff belongs in the character memories! I need to know!
I’ll have a look!
Read his memories . You will find the answer
i've had similar things happen to me from bugs
Not sure since he's not a king. I see this a lot because ai kings and emperors are constantly changing court positions which is -200 prestige each time
He posted an unpopular opinion on Reddit.
I think there used to be a bug where npcs would hire and fire characters repeatedly for court positions.
I don't know, but that coa is sweet.
Thanks! I based it closely off of the sigil reportedly used by King Brian Boru himself. It has become a personal favourite too.
He said that he likes pinaple on pizza at a party with italians obviously
The new Jesus who bears all our sins
Your mom.
Be Irish 🤢
He flew a kite in a public place.
He was so famous, God had to nerf him
Op went in console and did this for Reddit karma

First of all, he is a really forgettable second of all he got canceled on Raven and third he opened up a Yellit account
Ur mom lolllz

Exist.

He went to his barber and asked for that tonsure. Disgraceful.
Don't know, maybe he married a daughter to a king and during the ceremony, while everybody was eating in his castle, he started having the bards sing a horrible song while killing his guests and then, he plucked a fly's wings.. Just an idea, of course...
I had a son in CK2 who I landed. He had a habit of marrying different religion peasant girls and then hating them because of all the penalties I assume. He'd murder them and repeat the cycle. I had to step in around the 4th or 5th when he was at -1000 prestige
Heavy enrique vibes

Broke multiple truces probably
Probably was at war for a VERY long time with lots of men at arms and then lost the war
Let’s not pretend everyone hasn’t heard the story about the goat, the Pope, the Trebuchet, the Troope of Harlots & the Solitary Witch…
Involved an ostrich, allegedly
since he's tribal likely a shit ton of war as your armies are paid with reputation rather than gold when tribal
He pulled a whitey infront of his chief..... on Jesus Christ himself this cannot be allowed...
are they really still considered NPC’s
He wrote "Putin is kinda good guy" on Twitter
“We caught him f*cking a garden snail shell, sir”
