If Catholics need any kind of "super-decision" like the Blot, they should have the option to go on a Pilgrimage to a holy site like with Muslims and the Hajj. Is the Pilgrim trait used for anything yet or is it just sitting in the code? I've never seen it on any characters.

Nah, it's just sitting in the code.

I'm not sure I'd consider the Blot a super-decision, though. Certainly not on the scale of the Hajj. Blots just give you a little chunk of prestige and piety, and make vassals like you a little more for a year.

I thought I was set when my king only had one son by the time he was 70 so I thought it wouldn't hurt to get married again. He had twin boys and a fourth boy a year later in his mid 70's

Is there a certain age you stop having kids? I was sure it would've been 70 at least.

Only for women, at age 45. Men can keep having kids indefinitely.

Though I have noticed that they appear to have added a hard cap at nine living kids. Once you get nine children, you can only have another one if one of them dies.

Men are capable of reproducing throughout their life. Only women become infertile with age. This is real life I'm talking about, not the game. Next time just marry someone over the age of 40.

Fertility rates drop, but your ancient king can still make babby as long as your wife is young enough.

Were the uncles and cousins on your mother's side? I think Kinslayer is only for killing someone of your dynasty (your kinsmen). Killing maternal relations wouldn't count (unless it was a matrilineal or Hapsburg-esque marriage obviously).

I'm having a blast playing the vanilla game but I'm having some trouble, maybe it's a bug or maybe I'm just dumb (I don't understand a lot of this game but the helpful LP in the OP have done wonders). Anyway, I've a got a de jure claim on a county but when I try to declare war I'm told that I'm in rebellion. I don't think I'm in rebellion, but how would I check? Looking on google had someone else complaining about this issue, and for that guy reloading fixed it but that's not working for me.

So my question is where can I check to see if I'm in rebellion (Oh, I don't have a listed liege either. I was a vassal to England two "lives" ago but either from my own people dying or the general civil war in England no liege is listed now) and if I'm not in rebellion is this a known bug?

Yep. More pluses than minuses means they'll accept, though certain maluses ("No reason to move," "desires a better alliance," possibly others) mean that the offer will never work no matter what you do. And that's a step up from previous Paradox games, where you could just get an "Impossible :colbert:

You would know. Are you at war? Is there a little warscore meter in the lower right hand of your screen? If there is, check to see if the war is "so and so's rebellion for whatever". If it's not there, you're not at war. Maybe the other guy, is -- check him!

You were right, I was tangled in some huge civil war in England. It's probably why I wasn't showing a liege. After the war was over I had a new liege and was able to press my claims. Of course I lost my entire army fighting in the English civil war but fortunately Duke Noone of the Nowhere Duchy of Ireland didn't have a lot of troops either.

Of course, while I was trying to siege the castle with my beleaguered ~1k army, a 6k heavy hitter comes down from the NEW war in England I'm tied into and starts to mess with me. Guess it's time to hire 225 gold's worth of mercenaries. Not like I wanted to build a new holding.

Don't bankrupt yourself to win your liege's wars for him; if all else fails just wait and send your levies to Ireland again when they've replenished. Why do you care who the King of England is? Let him spend his money on mercenaries.

Your 2nd son had a future inheritance of half of your kingdom, when he died young it passed directly to his son. If he had no male heirs your 1st son would've taken everything.

I encountered some weirdness with Ultimogeniture in my last game, too. Not sure if it's intended, but the order of succession skipped my own (living) sons for my youngest grandson. Hey cool I've got this all set up, my son is well-groomed for taking control of my growing empire. Wait, poo poo, he had a son and now his son's the heir? The gently caress, I'm 60, I'm gonna die soon and my infant grandkid is first in line to inherit??

Adding to what CapnAndy says about not wasting money on fighting your liege's battles for him, the best thing to do when a far larger than you doomstack from a war you don't care about is after you is to run away, preferably onto boats. They will soon find another target. If you can't run away in time, it's better to disband your levies before any battle and lose some troops than it is to get massacred.

Yeah, it ends up with your sons requesting some really gross incest betrothals too.

No, my 20-year-old son, I deny your request to marry your 2-year-old sister. :gonk:

Edit: I had to make it a point of immediately arranging betrothals for my daughters upon birth, otherwise I'd get bombarded constantly with betrothal requests from her brothers/uncles/nephews. My sons would actually not marry at all and just keep spamming me with requests for toddler nuptials.

Groen: Oct 7, 2008

Started my first game, as duke of Flanders, seems like the biggest challenge is not getting crushed by the big guys around you.
Have gone from France to Roman Empire and back to France.

Had a bit of a surprise when at one time my heir inherited a french duchy through marriage and took a few counties of my realm with him. I guess if you inherit a title of the same level as your current liege you keep your titles from his realm and add them to those from the new title. Turned out alright when his son inherited my two duchies and added them the other one. That succession flipped me back to France since his primary duchy was french while the ones inherited were roman.

A question about elective inheritance: how do people decide who they vote for ? Is it based only on the relation with the possible candidates or is there a bonus for the candidate the current holder chooses ?

I ended up going with this my game:

code:

allow = {
			OR = {
				is_female = no
				OR = {
					trait = misguided_warrior
					trait = tough_soldier
					trait = skilled_tactician
					trait = brilliant_strategist
				}
			}
			AND = {
				religion_group = pagan_group
				liege = {
					religion_group = pagan_group
				}
			}
		is_adult = yes
		prisoner = no
		NOT = { trait = incapable }
}

My rationale being if that if the lady was educated to be a warrior, then she's a goddamn warrior.

In general electors are inclined to support their liege's candidate if they like their liege. Beyond that I'm not sure anyone's really dug into the exact reasoning behind it, but prestige and diplomacy and other opinion modifiers probably come into it.

"I nominate myself!" is also popular, of course, but if other people don't hop on board it usually doesn't last too long.

Removing Crusader Kings' near-perfect information could pretty dramatically open up many new gameplay possibilities. I'm all for ramping up the complexities of the interpersonal relationships, though my guess is it would take a substantial overhaul of the system.
