My wife queen of Georgia got Wuhan Flu, but survived, but both our legitimate sons died of it. This unfortunately meant that succession plan for the great realm of Geogia failed - and even worse my next few heirs were non-dynastic nieces!
That might have been the worst RNG of the campaign so far.
I had to quickly legitimize my bastard son Armand, and started seduced every good looking woman at the court, getting a lot of new bastard sons and daughters.
Then a miracle happened, and my oldest son's wife bore a posthumous son, a miracle baby, heir to both New Rome and Georgia. God Wills It!
Gotthard was also for a while 3rd in line to kingdom of Germany, but that was a bit much, and dynastic reshuffle in Germany ended that.
Inexplicably, my wife's biggest vassal inherited kingdoms of Serbia, Croatia, Epirus, and Sardinia/Corsica, costing her half her realm.
So much for this great RNG. Some heathen rebels broke away from Georgia.
My lover and vassal queen Irmeltrud of Anatolia died of the Wuhan Flu, as did her husband, who sort of hated me for some inexplicable reason.
Wuhan Flu inexplicably missed the India, and only got to the Steppes after circling through all of Europe.
For very long time Rome resisted, but it eventually got it. My demesne in Provence resisted even longer, and it ended up as one of the last places in Europe to get the Wuhan Flu.
We isolated ourselves in the castle, with orgies and witch trials, and such good fun. By the time we left the castle, the world was somewhat depopulated, but largely the same, and it will likely recover fully in a decade or two.
Meanwhile elsewhere, my kinsman's Crusader Finland fell to pagan event horde, so he's now only a king of remote Lapland.
Habsburg line who used to rule Poland/Estonia got reduced to just duchy of Estonia as both titles got destroyed by wars.
My kinswoman queen of Thuringia got reduced to an OPM, and then lost that last province to a peasant revolt.
What's left of our dynastic holdings is just 1 Habsburg emperor - me - and 5 Habsburg kings - Maharastra, Bengal, Ireland, Lapland, and my vassal Anatolia.
Lollards managed to break free from Empire of the Holy Land and setup a duchy of Kerman. It did not last long, but another Lollard rebellion spawned duchy of Meissen.
Heretics and rebels are definitely more of a force, but the feudal system is still largely holding on.
The most damaged by passing of the plague was definitely my wife's kingdom of Georgia - reduced from one of five strongest kingdom to shattered remnant of its former self by vassal inheritance.
Then again, maybe it would have happened anyway, that vassal was member of Croatian royal family, and 4rd in line, and people ahead of him died of cancer, Wuhan Flu, and severe stress respectively, so it wasn't that much of longshot.
At first it seemed that we might completely avoid the Wuhan Flu
Unfortunately my both legitimate sons got themselves duchies on Anatolian coast, and were completely unprepared when the Wuhan Flu came for them
Unfortunately it eventually reached Provence but with some social distancing, nobody died in the castle. Except for the witches we burned. People do strange things in long term lockdown.
Much more understandably there was a baby boom during the lockdown
My grandson, the Miracle Baby, born after
Unfortunately Georgia he was supposed to inherit lies in ruins, and it's not clear that my wife Baia the Nice will be able to even hold on to all the pieces. Rulers called "the Nice" tend not to do well in this cruel world.
