Played a lot more CK3. Actually had the black death pop up in India (I have it set to just appear organically rather than being forced to appear when it did historically) but I got through it unscathed. Nomads don't use development so I only had to worry about random rebellions popping up and having to be secluded. I had to do a coronation during it and the plague like, waited right ouside my capital for it to end before spreading through the whole realm, it was actually kinda nuts. It did cover the whole world but I was one of the last rulers affected by it. Gotta do a war to make an empire, tried to just send it but it was too much to fight through so I just waited. Now thanks to just endlessly spamming "demand tribute" and the havsarsan zud making everyone even more of a wimp it's a much more reasonable amount of army I'm gonna have to get through, but the havsarsan zud also forces your succession to be chaotic so I wanna wait for my current character to die first before doing it. Not exactly in a rush because I am the ghurkan (so no one else is gonna become the greatest of khans before me) and I need way more herd anyway but you know, I'd rather get it done sooner rather than later.
