Crusader Kings II: Horses Rule The World

This Kotaku article chronicles how fans of Crusader Kings II – an incredibly interesting and complex medieval political simulator  – managed to find an exploit in the game that allows players to create a dynasty of horses. Like, giddy-up-giddy-up-let’s-go horses.

Long story short: the devs, as a joke, inserted a horse councillor into the game who can’t do basically anything. Unless you nominate him to be bishop, and find a way to kill off the current bishop. Once the horse takes control of the church, they magically become able to get married and create heirs.

Long story even shorter: One player managed to restore the Roman Empire using nothing but horses.
