There's an event that's like "Holy poo poo it's a loving miracle, I am healed". It's different from the wounded one and very explicitly about the maimed trait. I've seen it like once ever.

So how does one go about making an empire or big kingdom collapse? Francia is huge in my game (as Denmark) right now. They basically rule all of Europe. I tried leaving them with a hunchbacked moron as a ruler via assassinations. But the kingdom is so huge that even if I can get some Dukes to rebel, it's not enough to overcome those who don't. I don't want to send in my chancellor to go stir up dissent. I've tried assassinations to get a loser in power, I've tried sending money (so much money) to people who don't like the king. What else can I do?

Might be a wait longer on that CK2+ mod: Paradox have announced a pretty big Steam beta patch downloadable now that'll do half the work for Wiz. If it works out, it'll be pushed out next week. Meanwhile, Thomas de Coucy just whipped Philippe of France's butt for a county. Sadly his slow son with zero ( literally 0) abilities died a natural death at the age of 2.

If having a terrible leader isn't enough, and if the empire is Catholic, have you tried sponsoring an Antipope? It'll take time for him to work his heretical magic, but once moral authority is low enough heresies should start tearing the empire apart. Coupled with a dumbass emperor, this ought to work.

Tindahbawx posted:Is there some way of stopping my character trying to march off and get himself killed everytime I raise an army? When you raise on army from one of your duchies and you get the "in command" message, click on the army and then click on your character's name. It will give you the option to select from a list of other possible commanders. You can sort the list by martial ability. You also may want to be careful about using your heirs. If I have an old ruler who's probably about to die anyway and who has a high martial ability, I just run him out there because I like winning battles and it's a pretty  way to go.

Aw man. I usurped the Byzantine Empire in my Ivar the Boneless game, but unfortunately with pagans it doesn't give you all of the Byzantine-specific events. I wanted to reform the Roman Empire because as they say, barbarians make the best Romans. On that note, I'm pretty sure that part of why I was able to usurp it was huge chunks of the ERE de jure drifted out of the ERE and into Scandinavia. I never could quite figure out how de jure drift works. For example, for some reason all of Hispania except for Asturias is de jure drifting into Scandinavia. Is that because I didn't form any of the other kingdoms except for Asturias due to the culture requirements? That said, I did create Sicily and that also drifted into Scandinavia as well. Shrug.

That's the worst thing to do, if you leave loads of sons alive then the realm will be divided in to many parts, try marrying a attractive lustful woman to the heir maybe a few generations down the line they will have too many kids.

You make me sick! Here's a trick I learned: try finding a courtier in the line of succession who's unmarried. Preferably someone not directly in the king's court. Marry him to a relative. Your relative will go off to his court if he accepts. Then, go to your relative's diplo page and invite her back to your court; she'll drag him kicking and screaming along with her. Convert him to your religion (bribery might be necessary), and then start stabbing heirs until he takes the throne. Dukes who will put up with a stuttering hunchbacked imbecile will lose their poo poo about an infidel. Best case, there will be independence wars and claim wars simultaneously, leaving the realm a mess. Worst case, he'll quietly relinquish his titles to various angry vassals, potentially splitting the realm if he has multiple top-level titles.

Looks like they're a Primogenture. And keep in mind that I'm of the king of Denmark and the pope of the Norse faith. Most of our diplomatic interactions are limited to "gently caress you!" and "No, gently caress you!"

Fender posted:So the year is 1065... Oh, so the king is a virtuous hunchback? That's still not good: the virtues combined will give a better opinion bonus than the penalty to hunchback. Keep stabbing until the king is an rear end in a top hat with vices and/or genetic defects, and that'll really piss everyone off. I've had empires turn into patchwork hell that way. Meanwhile, I suppose you can blob up by either subjugating Sweden or speeding your conquest of Ireland since you can easily run them down. If you want to take a gamble, you could declare a Great Holy War for England while the Karlings are busy with a civil war and crush England ASAP before the Germans rally. DarkCrawler posted:I haven't played this game for months. Gonna download the Old Gods, but is there a go-to mod now that CK2+ isn't updated anymore? There'll be one more update, but I think Wiz is waiting on the official release of 1.101. Meanwhile, I've tried out VIET + the More Ambitions mod. They're pretty good actually: though not as extensive as CK2+, the little events, ambitions, and various new traits are fun since you'll always have something to strive for in both peacetime and wartime. Norse pagans benefit doubly since you can get the wartime traits and ambitions simply by going out to loot and burn. toasterwarrior fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Jun 9, 2013 |

I learned that marrying lots of their sons matrilineally can work pretty well too, because the products of that marriage are liable to wind up your religion and your culture and may take the throne. In my Ethiopian Miaphysite game (1.09), I accidentally destabilized the HRE for about a century that way. Two of my relatives actually sat on the throne, and the rest of the time the vassals were just rebelling because they didn't like the guy the previous rebellion installed.  I was only marrying for prestige

Argh...how the hell am I supposed to fight the Il Khanate as the Karen Empire of Persia? I can't even get to their magically attrition-free armies before they've built up enough war score to autodefeat me, and even in the second war they're throwing like 150K+ of these guys at me. If not for the total lack of attrition on their doom stacks, I could at least fight back, but as it is it looks like it's just arbitrarily game over...

So its year 1072, I finally managed to break the siege of Desmond and make it as my own(I was following kinda the guide and picked Desmond) and I am honestly having a blast Someone WAY earlier said this was like the Sims for your empire and it is a blast. I was possessed by the Devil, managed to buy a Inn and run it, plus also got 2 warring families to hug everything out. I still don't know what all I'm doing and I am not even sure if I push for any more land besides the 3 I have but man this is fun.

If you still control all of the Kingdom level titles destroy the Empire title and swear fealty to the IlKhanate and destroy them from within after taking shitloads of land in their name.

What form of succession/crown authority is most likely to break apart or weaken big blobby empires? The Byzantines are huge in my game and I want to keep them from continuing to expand. Should I edit the save file to make them.. pure cognatic gavelkind with low crown authority..? Is that most liable to cause civil wars?

If you're going to try to shatter them entirely, go for Absolute Crown Authority. This pisses off vassals to no end and prevents them from doing pretty much anything but plot against the Basileus anyway. If you want to do it without editing save files, find my post about seducing and recruiting claimants, and try to get someone of your religion on the throne. It has a very good chance of causing an implosion.

All this talk of authority, maybe someone can help me out... So my problem I mentioned yesterday with Ireland was starting in the 800's, and not 1066. So I start in 1066, it's going well, I get Leinster, take Ossory and Kildare, trying to fabricate a claim on another county...and my king (original king) dies. BANG! I lose the titles to Leinster, Ossory, and Kildare, even with them formed into a petty kingdom. So what am I missing?

You could try avoiding creating a second duchy under Gavelkind, assassinating all your heirs except your firstborn, or, if you're Pagan, reforming your faith (if you can) so that you can change the succession laws. Good news! I've managed to fix Sonendar for the latest patch version. The bad news is that it's based on Vanilla CK2 rather than CK2+. However, it works! The weird weird thing is that everybody is at an absurdly high tech level. Like level 6 or 7 or something. It's really bizarre, and leads to people having ridiculous levies. How do I change this?

Did they break the 1066 Norman invasion in one of the recent patches or what? I've started a few 1066 games recently and it seems impossible for Duke William to win now, at least when watching the AI do it. Duke William shows up with less than 10,000 men, and almost immediately gets crushed by 30,000 men under King Harold. That's not how it's supposed to work, god dammit. It seems both the Norwegians and the English get 30,000 men so I guess their armies are supposed to destroy each other but there is never any battle of Stamford Bridge. Harold just turns right around and wipes out William every single time. Ivan Shitskin fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Jun 9, 2013 |
