1182 begins now. Time to see if the Pope and HRE die this year: Pope: VkED4UiEHRE: And with that, the Holy Roman Emperor is dead. The HRE states will need to elect the next one. But in addition, the rulers of Kievan Rus, the Capets, Hungary, Venice, the Almohad Caliphate, and even Byzantium fall ill. They may recover by next year, or they may not. Now make turns this phase, please. (Tagging everyone, because it seems like I need to: Yi Sun Sin, Stonewall Jackson, Hugh III of Burgundy, Desophaeus, Von Bismarck jr, Laurent de Gouvion, Frederick the Great, Caesar, Erich von Ludendorff, Quintus Fabius, Imperial RomeBall) ··· |

That feeling when you were going to discuss the illness of the Emperor, but GM gives an excuse for him to live (or die unfortunately) Antonio Santa Anna, sorry for not doing anything. I'll post an altered turn soon. I will leave the matter of the Emperor's sickness in your hands. Lol, the Pope who I believe HAS to be old lives, but the Holy Roman Emperor dies. Then again I don't remember his age ATM. Could be an old fella for all I know. |

Then again I don't remember his age ATM. Could be an old fella for all I know. Sadly, thanks to ye olde rules, which state that if I roll 8 or more in year 3, the HRE dies, he's dead. Don't we just love chance? |

It's possible that drownings, hunting accidents, poisonings are common occurrences for the HRE emperors. Yeah Antonio Santa Anna , its far from impossible, heck this is the medieval ages. I just find it interesting that what is likely the more youthful leader is the one who lives. Just searched it up. We are in the reign of the Great Frederick I Barbarossa, who IRL died in 1190. This year he should be around 60-62. MEANWHILE, the current pope is either Alexander I or Lucius III. Alexander during his reign ending in 1181, recognized Portugal as its own Kingdom. (this happened in 1179 so no need to work for it) He should be around 77-82 right now. Meanwhile Lucius III who is 82 right now, heavily fought with the Holy Roman Empire and Barbarossa during his reign, and died in 85 as preparations for the Third Crusader were beginning. So while Barbarossa is no spring chicken, both of the possible popes right now are older. He would outlive the longest living one by 5 years (1190) though he would be considerably younger by his own age and not the year. Edit: Barbarossa drowned (so some say) in Armenia (ex-Byzantine land) after defeating the Turkish capital (ex-byzantine land) so he didn't die of old age. |

BYZANTIUM VOTES FOR BYZ. Wait a second, I'm Rome! where's my vote (note that not only does HRE not own Rome, but Rome is currently in a dispute with it, unseemly for an empire. So that hardly factors into the claimant debate) |

A leftover from an era forgotten except in an empire of dinosaurs where crumbling reminders of the such yore left to gather dust far far away (that is, until the infidels suddenly shows up and took clay from those dinosaurs!). |

A leftover from an era forgotten except in an empire of dinosaurs where crumbling reminders of the such yore left to gather dust far far away (that is, until the infidels suddenly shows up and took clay from those dinosaurs!). Exactly. I'm not Romeball, I'm the Roman EMPIRE. Far different from your lump of clay claim, certainly. (which is partially true for the city of Rome, don't forget its a seat of de facto political power) I could of course mention that the Ottomans would take HRE clay, but you are actually correct. Byzantium can into stable ignorer of political *fads. Which makes the question- if Byzantium survived, how long until it becomes a democracy/not empire like the rest of Europe in 2017? *the fad of jousts and legendary rulers and military technology has penetrated Byz. Note: I had to edit something, so I'll remind you that when only looking at Polandball, many countries which remained themselves become new iterations due to time and revolutions. So why not Rome? We didn't change the system. |
