>doing a mathmeldi Ayleid run with mandatory daedra pantheon
>wandering hobo merc company to earn a boatload of gold and stat-farm before I eventually start reconquering Cyrodiil
>while bumming around near Sancre Tor hitting up the important sites for extra perks, I take a glance at the Imperial Isle
>absolutely piss-all troops after they got fucked on by one of the fifty warlords in the heartlands, no money and no allies
>realise I have about one and a half thousand souped up Ayleid Sorcerors at full strength and access to the duchy conquest CB
>march the entire camp down to the isle, declare conquest and take the island for myself
>focus on converting the whole duchy of White-Gold to Ilpenadaic and the city itself into Mathmeldi, while mopping up the remains of the heartland kingdom to remake it later
>fast forward a century and I've claimed the heartlands, cheydinhal and bravil in their entirety with much of leyawiin under control, gained the conqueror trait, knee-capped the also conqueror mannimarco and stole chorrol from him, re-established the Saliache (currently confined entirely to the city of White-Gold to grab as many innovations as possible since the flu destroyed everyone elses development) and permanently achieved maximum dread so almost none of my vassals dare do anything against me with most of my land converted to Ilpenadaic
I've already basically won this run with over six thousand sorceror MAAs, the second I've achieved Lichdom I might just call this run a wrap and do an Orsinium one.
