*Council Info Down Below.* Pretend you're a member of the court, here to provide advise to your liege, the komes (count)! Welcome everyone to our second roleplay series, where in Crusader Kings 3, I play my characters according to their character traits. We are playing Leon Phokas, the founder of the Phokas Family is the great-grandfather of Emperor Nikephoros II, the famous military leader known as the "Pale Death of the Saracens." We begin in Cilicia and border the Muslim emirates to the east.

Your job is to advise the leader and to convince him why your way might be the best way to follow.

To contrast the Rurik campaign where war was the focus in the very beginning. We're going to go full Byzantine with many plots and schemes instead of just trying to use brute force to win everything! I chose to start as a komes (count) to amp up the challenge since a doux (duke) would have a much easier time of it.

@@SurrealBeliefs it is in the realms interest for the heir of the duchy to earn experience, therefore I'd suggest that he should get his own county or barony to govern for the time being. Furthermore, we should focus on getting control over Antioch, as it is a religious holding which'll help the the empire as a whole... And it is a rather rich and stragically important county which should be under our direct control.

There was also an Emperor Phocas in the Byzantine empire, circa the early 600s AD. A lowborn nobody who rose high in the imperial armies, he was elevated to the purple when the armies grew tired of his predecessor, Emperor Maurice He killed Maurice and ruled the empire for a decade or so. He was largely incompetent and ruined the empire. Letting the persians move further and further into the eastern provinces. And refused to acknowledge a new pope for almost a year because the new Pope Boniface refused to pay him a large enough bribe Eventually The Exarch of Africa rebelled and the Exarchs son overthrew Phocas, executed him and declared himself Emperor Heraclius

The 2nd Νικηφωρος Φωκας (latinized: Nikephoros II Phokas), who ruled the Byzantine empire for like half a decade in the mid 960's or something, was considered a pretty decent dude as far as I know. There s currently a frigate in the Greek military navy called "Nikephoros Phokas", after him, so I spose he couldn't be too bad. He fought near Kilikia (also spelled as Cilicia) which is the area next to you and also Cyprus (campaign ideas, it s just a swim away) and eventually apex-ed many regions for the empire up to Tripoli and parts of Syria (says google, I can't remember shit from highschool). Apparently he was considered a great military mind and a great commander. Keep in mind Nikephoros translates to "(he who) bears/brings victory", the Victorybringer or something :) That sounds like a WWE name though :) Hope that poor kid doesnt die in like the last 25 mins of the video which is were I paused to write all these :) Seems like a fun playthrough

With the thone seated in antioch, the power this Cathedral can bring will be tied forevermore to your line. Safety, Conquest, Respect.

My liege, I believe the best course of action at the moment would be to consolidate power over your new land in preparation to convert Antioch. Putting it under rule of a good trustworthy Greek, not some traitor to orthodoxy as is currently in power! Then develop your territory in preparation for the first major step in making your dynasty known to the world! A great crusade for Jerusalem! With your new found territory stretching into the Arabian peninsula you could be a great help in leading the charge. And while you yourself may not be of great interest in religion. As a good spymaster you should know it is ALWAYS good to have friends in the church. As this could come in quite handy in future en devours.

I didn't mind...but allowing her to stay spymaster after breaking up with her when it was revealed that the player character killed off his one year old nephew (the brothers didn't get revealed) was...not very healthy. I did get her a genius lowborn husband in a matrilineal marriage right at the start as a dynastical breeding project, so I got an intelligent heir out of it, so it worked out after her oldest inbred son sadly died due to being treated by a 1 learning court physician that I spent a lot of money to switch out and then switch back to the 18 learning 3 star physician!
