I've noticed that some viking rulers start with what seems like a retinue only it's not in the retinue list. What is this and how can I increase it? Is there an old gods manual somewhere? It took me forever to actually figure out how to raid.

Well, just tried the 1066 scenario, went to mecca, came back and was immediately declared holy war upon by nearly all of Italy. I desperately threw mercenaries at them, but sadly, after my mercenaries declared war on me, my wife who was pregnant dying of illness, I lost everything by 1069. Time to try again!

Sacrificing him at Blot sounds a lot more badass, though. Which reminds me, this DLC is pretty great, but what's with the lack of Blood Eagle-ing your opponents? That would be a nice little mod addition. Heaney edit: With a butcher's aplomb they spread out your lungs and made you warm wings for your shoulders

A non-TOG question: I was working on taking over Ireland and had built myself up to running several southern counties. I had fabricated a claim on some area to the north and had hired a mercenary band to help defeat them when I lost track of time and ran out of money before the war was over. Next thing I know, the mercenary band has declared war on me for non-payment and handily crushes me since they have me outnumbered by about 4:1. So now I am left with the single southernmost county and am surrounded by territory owned by the mercenary band (one of whom is my liege). They regularly go to war with their other neighbors, tramping around with multiple 2000- to 4000-man armies. Is my only option waiting until I can afford another huge horde of mercenaries and hope the war to overthrow these jerks finishes before I go broke again? My leige and his other mercenary buddies apparently don't have any family or heirs; every time one dies another appears in his place without any explanation for how the succession worked so I can't try to marry in to their organization. withak fucked around with this message at 03:53 on May 30, 2013 |

gently caress playing the norse. I WILL BECOME THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MANKIND as the restorer of Zoroastrianism.  Starting as the duke up in khiva you can use your starting stuff to murderboat the guy next to him for the duchy of khiva while the only guys who might help him beat each other up in their auto war. Oftentimes a powerful Zoroastor count next to you under shia rule will break free and if you can get to king of khiva before he can usurp a dukedom you can vassal him. Then mug the shia surrounded by sunnis for a bit more land and as much else you can get in khiva via de jure wars once you form the kingdom. So far so good other than my vassals at -25 due to raised to long. Need to take a break from glorious reconquest.

Coolodile posted:Hey I bought Sunset Invasion because I wanted to play as an Aztec with TOG, except whenever they invade they just land a large army in Spain and nothing happens. They don't even declare war apparently, so this huge army just sits there. That kinda sounds like what happened to me in one of my games several months ago, except it was with the Golden Horde instead. In my game, the Kingdom of Rus broke out into civil war and fragmented into a million pieces, and the Mongol invasion army happened to enter the map right on top of one of those fragments of the Rus Kingdom. Before the Mongols were able to capture that fragment though, the civil war ended and the Kingdom of Rus instantly reformed all of a sudden. This caused the Mongols' invasion war to end as well, inconclusively, because their target no longer existed. After that, the Mongol army just sat there, broken, because they couldn't declare a new war because their troops were not in friendly territory, and they had no friendly territory to retreat to. I was hoping they would have fixed that by now but I guess they didn't. You will have to go into the console and give a county to the Aztec leader manually. You type in "charinfo 1" into the console to show the ID number of any character you mouse over, and then use the "give_title" command to give him the county they spawned on top of. After you give them a county they should start behaving normally again, and you can switch over and play as them. From the CK2 wiki: http://crusaderkings-two.wikia.com/wiki/Cheats quote:'give_title <title-id> <char-id>' Gives you the title, and you get vassals and everything beneath it. Title IDs are predictable, in the format of k_name for counties, b_name and d_name for baronies and duchies. titles with spaces are either c_county_name or "c_county name" Edit: Actually never mind what I said because apparently they broke the Aztecs completely: Rixaxun posted:The latest patch removed the ability for anyone other than Altaic and Magyar cultures to use that tribal invasion casus belli, so when the aztecs appear their scripted event war can't actually fire. So they sit there, forever. You can fix it by manually adding culture_group = mesoamerican to the tribal invasion CB listing in cbtypes.txt. Or just wait for the bugfix patch.

I just spent a century uniting the Empire of Britannia as the heirs of Ragnar Hairy-Breeks based in Jorvik (edited the file so Norse can make the empire because loving gavelkind would rip the kingdoms apart every time I died otherwise), but that's not the story here. Reviewing the world - Scandinavia is loving terrifying by the way - I went to see if any Zoroastrians remained over by the Caspian. A couple of provinces cling to the fire as the Seljuks invade. But... what's this? In Persia proper?   The last time I looked at this part of the world was only about 40 years ago when there was nothing in the region that wasn't Islamic except for those Mazdaki provinces below the Aral Sea. The man responsible for this is one Shah Kosrau the Liberator, who apparently came to power 36 years ago. I don't know where he came from, he's the first of his House. I don't know how he beat the gently caress out of the Muslims so comprehensively despite his fairly impressive stats, but the Shahdom of Kosrau is huge and powerful. I don't know how he's converted so many provinces so effectively, but the Manichean religion looks pretty well restored and established.

Yeah, Great Holy Wars != Prepared Invasions. Prepared Invasions are a thing you can do from day one as a Norseman, even with an unreformed faith; a Norse ruler with a small realm can basically make his intention to invade Someplace Else known and warriors and adventurers will flock to your banner as 'special event troops' (this is where those retinue-like additional troops you're noticing come from, Sankis; Ivar the Boneless, for example, starts in the middle of his prepared invasion).

You also have to in a friendly province to activate it. It's kinda annoying when I go out to help the zorastrians beat back the Moon God Menace by sacking the surrounding muslims , but I forgot to activate it back home. Thats a long rear end trip back to the great and not at all petty Kingdom of Iceland. Also I'm incoherently mad that they took the time to change the location of Reykjavik, but still left Iceland an ahistoric mess of an area. At least change the A/V border to a diagonal for fucks sake Paradox. At least that way it somewhat resembles one of the borders that divided up the island in the era.

After starting Jorvik and doing alright, watching AI Ivar just destroying all over the place I loaded up and tried him out. Died in battle twice in a row. I went back to White Shirt and after conquering most of England and Ireland he was cut down in a berserker rage at the rip old age of 69 and his already elderly son with 8 marshal took over the throne. He crushed 3 rebellions and 2 invasions from English Dukes, turned his army back to the Irish duke who killed his father and destroyed him, coming out the other side with the berserker trait and unyielding. All vassals are either in jail or in love due to crushed revolt bonus at this point. The Blot was amazing.
