Well, I've finally formed the Empire of Prydain after forcefully gobbling up Ireland county-by-county. Sure, It may have taken a truce breaker or two. Sadly, while I didn't get the achievement for all three kingdoms and set my dynasty on the thrones of Pommerania (got it after a Crusade and granted it independence) and Lotharingia, I'm now thinking about forging a claim in Norway and Holy Warring my way through Scandinavia, and giving the Empire of Prydain to a separate dynasty member once I've got Scandinavia's capital to where I want.

Meanwhile, The Byzantines have lost Anatolia, Syria is Shi'a, and Rus has a hold of Ruthenia and has reformed Slavic paganism. Aside from that....not much else weird stuff going on. Odd.
