Well I've been trying to alter Iceland for a couple hours now, and even though I had been basically doing what that guide said to do anyway, it always crashed at loading graphics so I assumed I was doing it wrong. I just tested an extremely inconsequential border alteration (like 5 pixels) and it still crashes. I think somethings been changed about the way the game handles the map.

I tried Googling for an answer to my beginner's question but failed: There should be a little icon in the corner showing the target's icon with a percentage beneath it. That percentage is the "warscore" which you raise through battles and occupation. If it's 100% go to diplomacy (right-click on the portrait) and hit "offer peace" with the "enforce demands" option. If it's not 100%, then you're missing something- see if there's anywhere else you're at war with.

Playing as the King of combined Italy/Lotharingia/Aquitaine/Burgundy, vikings keep dropping off less than a thousand men in my Dutch territories, sitting in front of the castle they don't have enough men to siege for a couple of days, and then leaving. I am unimpressed.

I am unimpressed. They don't need to, man; they're just there for the easy loot that isn't secured by castle fortifications. What pillagers like are counties with Cities as their capitals. Easy to siege, big money inside. Paradox, please make a mapmode that shows what type of holding is the capital of a county, so I can maximize my looting efficiency!

SpRahl posted:You can force vassals to convert to your religion if they like you and can change you succession laws to Primogeniture or Elective. Probably some other stuff I havent done it yet. It also makes Norse characters/provinces less susceptible to conversion, as well as increasing the chances of your being able to convert provinces.

There are 4 events that set off the cthulhu chain each has a base average months to happen of 1000 multiplied by 100 if you are not a lunatic. so a non lunatic has a 4/100000 or 1/25000 chance of getting it in any given month a lunatic 1/250. And then you were right, and it is cthulhu ramming time.

Holy Hell starting as a pagan norse in 1066 is a whole' nother ball game. Almost no allies, Catholics holy war like no one's business, your holy sites are entirely locked down, England is fun to raid but the kingdoms are united enough to really gently caress up your raiders. It's like playing a Catholic in 866

I'll ask again, because I'm damned confused and could use an answer. I prepared an invasion against the Queen of Germany (I thought it was a Great Holy War but apparently not as they're not available until 1100 and I'm still unsure of the difference). I wanted to invade Brunswick to get that last Norse holy site, but my only allowed targets were Frisia and Hungary. Any reason why this should be the case? Standard Holy Wars are still available for the other areas (I'm reformed) but using them would have cost me all the independent adventurers who turned up to help.

JerikTelorian posted:What's the purpose of Reforming the Norse Religion? What do you get from it? A) In 1100 you (well, whoever the Fylking is, but if you're the one reforming the faith it's probably you) can call Great Holy Wars, the Norse version of Crusades. B) You can have real, grown-up Crown Authority and Inheritance Laws. C) the Norse faith becomes much more resistant to conversion by outside forces - an unreformed Pagan faith is easier for a Chaplain to convert. D) You get to be the Fylking, which is basically the Norse Pope, plus you're still a regular old King at the same time. Appeasing your religious head is a lot easier when your religious head is you. E) Bragging rights. Plus a metric fuckton of Prestige. F) You can call Holy Wars against non-Norse people, so that you can grab duchies in a war instead of having to go one province at a time. G) Did I mention the part about not being stuck with Gavelkind anymore? Because that's pretty awesome. H) You keep almost all of the awesomeness of pre-reformation Norse religion and lose almost nothing worthwhile(you lose the ability to raise Runestones, I believe, more's the pity). You will have vassals bitching about you raising their troops, but that's balanced out by not having to sweat it if you go for too long without warring.

It divides your holdings amongst all eligible heirs, with your primary title going to the oldest heir. Probably the extra stuff goes to the oldest also if things don't divide up evenly. It is a real-world thing; it reduces the chances that the oldest son gets murdered by his younger brothers as soon as they are old enough to realize how inheritance works. withak fucked around with this message at 18:39 on May 30, 2013 |

Really I would kill for some sort of Last Will and Testament mechanic that worked such that when your character dies (or even before) you are called upon to parcel out inheritances for your heirs, with succession wars if your heirs don't agree to the terms of your will.

Yeah, I suggested this earlier in the thread. I don't think it would be too hard to implement, really. Just have a function where you can allocate a successor to each title in the same way you would a bishop under free investiture.
