kingturnip posted:I currently rule Ireland and Scotland as an unreformed Norse King. To bookend this story, two more rulers declared war on Denmark as well; one to lower Crown Authority, the other was a Conquest CB. So they won one war out of the five - for Jyttland. Then the King's wife died (of syphilis). Then Greater Poland won their war. Then Crown Authority was lowered and the random Pagan Conquest was successful. The Pomerania war was also successful, but did result in the King of Denmark marrying the Petty Queen of Pomerania, so that's something at least. Not much, though, given that I immediately declared war to Subjugate Denmark and easily won. Except De Jure drift meant that also included a province in England and a handful near where Kaliningrad is. The poor ex-King of Denmark now just had one province in North Wales and the Petty King of Jyttland title. Which I usurped.

All loot is protected by forts maybe? There is a vertical bar on the yellow bar splitting protected and unprotected loot of province. If the forts in holdings are big enough they protect even all loot from raids unless raiders army is big enough to siege and take the holding out.

Ack. Even with the beta, gavelkind still doesn't distribute titles evenly. My primary heir got two counties, and my secondary heir got five, including the capital. It really doesn't seem like this should be that complicated. Primary heir gets dibs on the first title of every level, and will always take the title containing the capital province if possible. So the primary heir always gets the capital, and if you hold the de jure duchy of that province, the primary heir always gets that, and if you hold the de jure kingdom of that province, the heir gets that...and so forth. The rest of your titles of each level going out round-robin, so that they're distributed roughly evenly. How hard could it be? Strudel Man fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Jun 11, 2013 |

Koryk posted:Is there any way to change your capitol? Yeah, if you look on the screen where you raise levies for an individual county there should be a little crown button at the top that'll let you set that county to be your capitol. There are some prerequisites I think and you can only do it once per ruler.

Does anyone know how you would adjust CK2+ so that your councillors are as effective as they are in Vanilla? I think I like pretty much everything else it does for the game, but the pacing on being able to forge claims, etc, just feels so slow as to be mildly infuriating.

I was just coming in here to complain about this. I've had times where my main man got half the first duchy and the first duchy title, and my second kid got the entirety of the second duchy and the title and half the first. And currently, I've got 2 kids and own 4 counties, 2 each in 2 duchies. You'd think that kid 1 would get the first duchy in its entirety, and kid 2 would get the second, but no, CK2 reckons one from each duchy should make things interesting. And the strongest ones are going to kid 2! Wasn't there some way of making it recalculate the gavelkind so it's more sensible? EDIT: Ok I just made my first duchy, and it just got more ridiculous, my firstborn now gets 1 county and the duchy title it belongs to, while my second son gets three counties. He'll quite literally be three times as strong as my firstborn. This is just Not On. Konig fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jun 11, 2013 |

Strudel Man posted:Actually, huh. I wonder if you can make retinues that become available based on other criteria than culture? The way the culture requirements are implemented is just a "culture = whatever" line right in the middle of the retinue definition - I'm not sure if you can stick other stuff in there, like traits or character flags, but if you can, that does potentially open up some interesting possibilities. How about religion? Just have the event switch your religion to Chaos/Demonism/Satanism/whatever and then give the option to recruit the retinue?

After the Umayyads took Aquitaine and France in invasions (I have no idea how they did this, this is not a thing muslims can do in CK2+) and none of the rest of Christianity gave a gently caress, I took up some random slob who had a claim and was willing to go to my court, assassinated the Sultan to place his child on the throne and then took up arms. Now unfortunately this dude I picked up didn't have kids, and the only woman I had around was about 30-ish years old. Still, she was a hedonist so I hoped they'd get a kid anyway so I married them off. So I war for the throne and I eventually get it - although the dude keeps the old vassals leading to years of civil war that he still wins. I also had his sister, next in line to the throne if he never got kids... who I married off to a Bulgarian prince by rationalizing that he needed allies. Unfortunately the new king became a homosexual and depressed as did his lady wife... meaning they never had children. So after years of trying to fend off the Muslims of france, the Catholic kingdom is inherited... by the Orthodox king of Bulgaria. Que another schmo who had a claim getting warred for by me. However all the French holding were still held by the Bulgarian king until his vassals rebelled. So now we have Frank Orthodox, Frank Catholics, Frank Sunnis, Bedouin Sunnis, Bedouin Orthodox, Bedouin Catholics, Dutch Catholics, Occitan Sunnis, Occitan Catholics, Bulgarian Orthodox and Breton Catholics all residing in lovely France. ...Oh well, at least I got Rus and Sweden to convert to Catholicism and I'm working on Norway, Denmark and Lithuania.

If it bugs you you'll want Better Armies or CK2+ that incorporates parts of Better Armies into it.

How does conversion work from the converter/missionary-er perspective? I've only been playing as pagans and so that's been the only side I've been seeing how it works from. Can a player character send their court chaplin to a pagan capital to attempt to convert them at a whim, or is it done some other way?

Seems like CK2+ has it so that you can't loot without sieging. Every province has 100% of its cash protected by fortifications. Is this a bug (I did change it so reformed Norse could still raid, but I'm currently unreformed) or a deliberate decision? I prefer the way it works in vanilla, where you can loot a little bit without sieging anything. Is there some kind of middle ground where you don't get the insane amounts of cash you get in vanilla, but can still do fast hit and run raids? I enjoyed lightly raiding the byzantines and then running back on my boats before their armies could get to me. This is now impossible in CK2+, you need to have a protracted siege to get any money so raiding anyone you don't outnumber is out of the question (unless their doomstacks are being used in a war).

DrSunshine posted:It's in events/job_chancellor. Ah, excellent, I never thought to look in events! Thanks! I'm at work, so I cant check this, I assume theres a similar /events/job_chancellor file in the base CK2 install directory, I would just need to copy the values out of that into the /events/job_chancellor file in the CK2+ Mod directory? Is that now the mods in this game work, they just overwrite values and add things to already created files in the CK2 install directory? On another note, the CK2 mods folder, I've been using the one in the User Documents folder, not the one in the main CK2 install folder. Does it make any difference as to which one you use?

 http://www.mediafire.com/download/xv8xj0zaiih8051/Landed_Titles.rar I was just going to make some personal CK2+ map color changes for myself but I see a few other people posting that they like the vanilla colors better too so I figured I'd upload this. It's mostly vanilla old god colors for CK2+ with a few adjustments. This is far from perfect since I mostly focused on Europe and even there the colors still aren't going to be great at times since I didn't mess with most counts/dukes (and empires since ck2+ doesn't let you see what they look like without making them) but most of the major titles you're likely to see were adjusted. If you want to use it just extract those files into your files/paradox interactive/crusader kings 2/mod/CK2Plus/common/landed_titles folder after backing up the files in there in case you want to go back.

1066 start with Erik the Heathen, Duke of Uppland is pretty fun. You don't get to be a Viking steamroller as easy and it's greatly satisfying to unite all of the disparate pagans under a single banner to go gently caress up Christians. Just have to make sure to hurry and usurp the crown of Sweden before he gets around to converting your provinces. Had one restart due to him converting both of my male heirs.  1082 and the vikings are once again harassing Ireland; as it should be.

Great, I've been wanting to play since the DLC came out. Just a few more hours and sweet incest simulation is mine. on that note, has anyone played Aztecs with the new rules? I love the historical games, I do, but sometimes I want to kick back and indulge in human sacrifice and hilariously ironic reverse-colonization. If they get their own rules for sacrifice, etc. then I'll have to bring some hand lotion to tonight's gaming session.

Hey, can anyone chime in on this: I've installed the latest version of CK2+ but nearly everyone's coat of arms is still messed up. The HRE's CoA being used by the Byzantines, Venice using the Roman Empire's CoA, etc. I was thinking this was a 2.00 beta thing, but the release version is still jacked. On the Paradox forums, some dudes are also experiencing it but Wiz's game is fine. I've cleared my cache but it's still not working out. Anyone experiencing this too?

I kind of roleplay it, because I don't think the real vikings were in the habit to siege down all castles when they looted the countryside. Also pretty sure that it must be a bug, how would you get any raiding done as a one province count?
