Last night I was playing around and stumbled onto a mechanic that I figured could be used as an exploit to play as an immortal character who is fertile and keep achievements. I tested and it works. I created an immortal Norse asatru male 25 years old, then replaced him with a Norse asatru woman with shield maiden trait (must have), married the immortal, became an adventurer, once you are an adventurer you can adopt your husband as your dynasty and heir, mine had the bastard trait (not sure if this is necessary) he became a cadet branch of my dynasy. The immortal now says son husband, we had 2 children before she died of smallpox, upon her death he became the heir and I can play as an immortal who is fertile and I still have achievements. I don't reckon it will be much of a challenge to play but interesting none the less. I may play as an adventurer for awhile, travel around taking Merc contracts and see how many children he can have. Rn he's just camping in jorvik and taking contracts to help in whatever wars he can.

I played last night as Byzantium and formed the Roman Empire at the beginning of the early medieval period, he got the conqueror trait which was kinda cool. Anyway I decided no half measures and converted the realm to Hellenism, it says something like advanced mongol invasions, I thought whatever it's like 300 years away, well Genghis Kahn spawned immediately, we got the bubonic plague in the entire empire, a crusade and 3 revolts happen all at once. Wild event, this is way more interesting. I have 8k elite army and the Kahn has over 40k already after like 5 years wish us luck when he makes it to Rome.
