A bit of a stretch? In the real world, the Queen enjoys as many as four alcoholic drinks a day, apparently, which puts her well above the UK guidelines on healthy drinking.
So I label our in-game Elizabeth a drunkard. To the great credit of Buckingham Palace, they manage Her Majesty's public image exceptionally well and it is a struggle to find any faults in her character. I am also happy to replicate her love of corgis within Crusader Kings 2 by granting her a faithful hound as a companion. However, given her lack of any real influence in British life beyond the ceremonial, I keep Liz's other skills low. Our young Queen takes the throne.įor a lifetime of service to the realm in royal tours and public engagements, I create a Queen who is diligent and gregarious while giving her a large increase to her base diplomacy skills. From this starting point, I attempt to flesh out her character. She is a 25-year-old woman with a husband and two young children when she takes the throne. If she can survive the court intrigue and bloody battlefields of Medieval Europe, then it is confirmed for us that she truly has God on her side.Įlizabeth's in-game reign begins in similar circumstances to the beginning of her reign in the real world. I inserted Elizabeth II into Crusader Kings 2, Paradox's superb dynasty simulator set in the Middle Ages. To put these fears to bed, I launched a very simple - and highly scientific - investigation to test this. Can the Windsor's remarkable skill at unveiling plaques really be taken as proof of the divine right of the monarchy? I have to admit, however, that in my darkest hours my faith in one of the core tenets of British society - that it is the divine right of the House of Windsor to rule over us in perpetuity - is shaken. Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning monarch in British history, and her public approval ratings have never been higher. Every day I wake up in my Royal Family-branded pyjamas and swear my own personal oath of allegiance to the British monarchy. As an honest and god-fearing Englishman, I have nothing but undying respect for the Crown.
