I think this is the most I can really expand in my CK3 game. I could try to keep going, but my new player character has become infirm at a surprisingly young age (early 50's), and loading a save from before that happened was not a viable option, so I'm kind of stuck on the cusp of a death spiral, as my player heir is only 10. My first attempt I had a faction I couldn't deal with, my second attempt the game made the fucking Baltic Empire which was honestly a huge pain in the ass. This is a slightly out-of-date screenshot actually, but the main thing is that Pomerania got vassalized by me after I took it, which I think gave enough territory for the Baltic Empire to form, but I have no idea why the game only made the Baltic Empire title the second time, especially since it hasn't been making titles on succession for a bit.

I have done other things today, mostly just grinding in Arknights. I'm tired of and unengaged with RA as a game mode to be honest, so I've spent most of the day just making glowsticks before loading a save. The game saves every three days, and you keep whatever reward points you got when you load a save, so you can just make a bunch of shit, skip ahead three days, and then load a save. And glowsticks are by far the cheapest thing you can make (and they give decent points too), so that's why you just spam glowsticks. Not close to done with the shop but there's only so much time I want to spend spaming glowsticks.
