I've continued with 4 heroes of Light, and I've been farming Rolan for Diamonds.
Later I plan to get CK2 or EUIV to work. Not physically mind, just figuring out how to do things.
EUIII was easier, trying to eke out a living as Ukraine ( I noticed it on the map as 1 to 3 provinces paying tribute to the GH). Then the GH had a succession crisis leading to the hilarious landgrab.
I kept going until my ruler died...I hadn't noticed my ruler type and I exploded into rebellion. Spent forever trying to change my government type, ended up in China by the 1600's
