Mostly just gaming today. Went back to CK3, that got an update. Brain is kinda fried right now so I can't really give an informal after action report but I started with Tulun (Egypt) in the 867 start date. I initially tried to start with Hawwara, but I got stuck in this shitty equilibrium where I had to just sit and wait for gold to try and catch up to my neighbors, but of course they would just be able to grow militarily at the same time and probably at a faster rate, so, not much I could do to get out of it. I don't really have a goal in mind this time either way, just sorta playing the game. I could go for the "Unite Africa" decision but that requires controlling literally all of North Africa, not just the Mediterranean part. And it also just, kind of does nothing? It's obviously too much land to make one giant empire to cover, but iirc all it does is make people convert to your religion.
