toasterwarrior posted:You can actually keep the Kingdom titles for yourself along with the Empire, and still limit your vassals to duchies. The only opinion penalty they get is "desires the Kingdom of X"; there's no limit on Kingdom titles like there is for duchies. As an emperor, is there any reason to create kingdom titles and keep them for yourself besides the prestige boost?

GrossMurpel posted:Are you sure it doesn't limit it to 2 or 3 kingdoms? And that opinion penalty is actually one of the things I'm trying to avoid. It's totally fine. I only worry about having multiple kingdoms if I'm running Gavelkind (which I shouldn't be), and Feudal Elective (which is a non-issue since we're talking Merchant Republics here). It's up to you if you really want to keep the opinion penalties down, but you'll still be taking a hit from your Finnish vassals if you keep the Kingdom of Finland. Personally, I think the prestige bonus you get from all the Kingdom titles makes up for the desires Kingdom penalty; and besides, de jure vassals of the Kingdom title you destroy will also get pissed when you do the deed.

Well they are usefull for one thing: Gathering all your various dukes vassals into one big army when you raise the levies of that kingdom. Downside is that they'll appear wherever the capitol of that kingdom happen to be, which may or may not be optimal but most of the time it will save you some hassle. Of course, all it takes is for one ambitious king to land the throne and you may have a bit of a problem.

You could just pull them up in any province controlled by one of his vassals. A gamey thing to do if you can stand the borders is to give one county on your border to your largest vassals then you can pull loads of troops up were they are needed.

By the way, anyone know what unit_home_modifier = { } does? The non-viking pagans got that modifier for all its units and morale, garrison size etc. So when it says unit_home_modifier = { land_morale = 0.8 light_infantry_defensive = 0.8 heavy_infantry_defensive = 0.8 pikemen_defensive = 0.8 light_cavalry_defensive = 0.8 knights_defensive = 0.8 archers_defensive = 0.8 horse_archers_defensive = 0.8 garrison_size = 0.4 } Does it mean that all units and morale of the province owner (the pagan) gets -20% modifier when fighting in said province? Or is it the attacker that is reduced?

Is there some way to set a default general of my army? If I raise an army my king leads it by default and he's a pretty bad general. Also I managed to get him captured because I forgot he was the general. Is there a way to do a prisoner swap? I have two close family members of some guy and he has my king, surely we could work something out that didn't involve me paying him 150 gold. It's letting me siege his cities even though we aren't at war (I guess he's the ally of my enemies), if I siege them all will I be released or what?

One of the advantages I've found to there being cultural constraints on forming empires, is that it makes it harder for your vassals to set up competing empires and break away, so long as they're of your culture rather than the native culture. I've managed to blob my way over most of Europe, as part of the Norse faith's desire to wipe the scum of Christianity from the world. There was a pretty scary time when the Carolingians had managed to unify the Francian Empire, and then unified somehow with the Byzantines. But the Byzantine Dukes have broken off from the Francian blob, Germany got chewed up heavily, and after breaking through Moravian, I found a great number of small duchies that were prime for holy wars. It's actually pretty cool how setting up loyal kings with all of the proper de jure duchies beneath them and all of the proper de jure counties under that really keeps the populace happy. Couple that with elective succession and medium crown authority, and I have my loyal Finish King expanding West, other loyalists picking up duchies from those that are rebelling from Francia, and a general blobbing, while everyone remains happy.

Welp, I just loaded my save up and can't declare any wars because it thinks I have levies raised. Tried dismissing fleets too, as well as mercs and retinues, tried loading an earlier autosave and doing the same and nothing works. That was thirty hours well spent on a now broken game, guess I'm waiting till ck2+ or GoT updates.

Had a quiet decade, and married a dozen kids to different duchies throughout Brittania and Scandanavia, and all of these dynasties are ending in my favor. The civil war just started, and is going fantastic. It started with a Scot/England war, the rebels saw their chance, and so did I. I grabbed the Isle of Man while the Scots were busy killing each other. Now, I found an option of "help the Scots." Can I use that to gain provinces? I dont think I can join the rebels since I just made a treaty with the King, but can I make a alliance to steal a county or two? edit: Also, is there a way to see how many troops a monarch can raise? Right now Im guessing. Loel fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jun 6, 2013 |

Low moral authority makes heresies more likely to arise, and I think high moral authority gives a bonus to conversion.

You also need 50% Moral Authority to reform a pagan faith. Unless all your_pagan_religion characters are absolutely kickass in war at all times, you're going to need more than just 3 Holy Sites to be held by members of the faith to reform.

Also, if you have all five holy sites, then it doesn't matter what your moral authority is, you can go ahead and reform the religion. I ended up in a situation where the other Norse were losing too many wars against the Christians, so I had to make a bee-line for the fifth one in the middle of Germany.

Wondering whether I can attempt to raid Paris and take the current ruling Queen of France, after reading in this thread someone who took a princess, made her a concubine and then his heir had a claim to the thorne. Best one I've had yet is fighting against a rebellious vassal, invading his home, capturing his wife and making her my rulers concubine. Did I mention that the rebellious vassal was my brother, and his wife a niece to us both? (Big family) And I believe that you can capture female rulers, but last time I did was before the patch so I don't know about now. All her titles will fall to the closest in line for the throne though, so it's not like you can do much with it.

CapnAndy posted:Offer peasant rebels a white peace ASAP -- you still get them imprisoned and the only downside is you gain a little less prestige. One or two battles is enough to make them accept white peace, and then you can chop their traitor heads off. Only problem with that is I can usually crush them in one battle. But I'm playing a "Golden Horde vs. Aztec extravaganza" right now and hiking across half of the Ukraine just to kill 3,000 people with my 1.5k horde is just silly. Reminds me far too much of EU3, and why I stopped colonizing in that game. Also, Reformed Tengri is hilarious.

dongsweep posted:Can you capture their daughter, make her a concubine, then have a valid claim on their lands once you pop out a son? Concubines themselves appear to be (almost completely) disinherited - it skips over them if any other direct descendents would qualify to inherit, including children of the concubine herself. I.e., if the woman made into a concubine is the only child of the ruler, and the concubine has one son, that son will be the heir, rather than the concubine herself. But I believe that if she's the only living direct descendant, she will inherit anyway, and will be pulled out of your court to rule. This ends the concubinage.

Strudel Man posted:Yes, indeed. That's always good for a laugh. Just make sure to be ready to help the claimant out in the inevitable civil war or three that will break out immediately after they're installed. Capturing siblings of the ruler is best, since they have already inherited the weak claim and just need to produce an heir and then pass the claim to them. I acquired an Asturian princess and she had a couple of kids, including my primary heir. She even died of natural causes, which was handy. One of her kids even pressed the claim himself, saving me the trouble of watching and waiting for the opportunity.

Go to the profile of the person you're about to go to war with, click "Realm tree" (it's the right-most one of the three buttons in the top right, with the dynasty and family tree buttons) and then mouse over the % by their name. I have no idea why it's so hidden away but there ya go. Tells you both the max they can call at 100% and the max they can call at this moment in time.

So, what would have to be done to: 1. Flesh out the Hellenistic faith to bring it up to par with the Norse/Slavic/OG paganism? 2. Flesh out a Roman Culture to be on par with the others, so you get specific named ranks equivalent to Jarls etc Is there a mod that does these kinds of things? I want to create and expand the classical Roman Empire. Oh, same question with regard to Welsh/Celts. An event to spawn a huge army led by Artorius, returned to reunite Brittania would be  (Yeah, I went and read the first 11 volumes of Vinland Saga...)
