Promontory posted:I've run into a strange bug after the newest patch where zooming out the map will crash the game. Has anyone else witnessed the same? I'm thinking of downloading the beta patch to see if it fixes the issue. Replying to myself in case anyone else encounters similar problems: downloading the beta patch made my saves unplayable (moved the map to the southwest corner and did not show any characters), but rolling back restored them and made the crashes stop.

Protip: If you want to smash poo poo up as the Karen dynasty, your best bet is to swear fealty to the Muslim guy to the east right away, then strongarm him into Elective Succession, then starting a "Your Dude for Kingdom" faction and beating him up. Way easier than going at it from the outside. You can even force-convert him after you win. e: Here's my stuff right before my first ruler designed dude bit the dust.

Hah, just married the princess of some island off Sweden, used my wife's claim to her dad's thrown, conquered the island for my wife, and in the process took all three of her sisters as concubines. This game is weird. So next I'm gonna try to off my wife to see if I can get the island in my first non-war take over.

I don't know if I got everyone who offered to help with Warhammer, but my name on the Paradox forums is Shade2 and there's a neat thread on the mod subforum. Unless something amazing happens this should be the last self-serving post here

Shadeoses, would you recommend that I start a thread for Sonendar on the Paradox Forums too? I've mostly been going at it myself, so I wonder if it's the sort of thing that people would volunteer for, seeing as how it's not really based on any established fantasy universe. I do need help, though, especially in writing events and stuff.

Playing a Norse is really annoying in CK2+ because it enforces gavelkind until you reform and gavelkind is broken. Also I prepared an invasion of Lithurania, but when I beat the boy kings army into the dust, his vassals in the kingdom I wanted rebelled and I wasn't able to siege any of it.

I'm not finding it to be much of a big deal, actually. I just keep one single duchy title, and one county, and get all my wealth through raiding, and declare war using the subjugate CB, rather than the "De Jure Claims". EDIT: Remember that shoddy, "Introduction to C++ Computer Programming"-level piece of code that I wrote known as the CK2 Character generator? Well, I just updated it to be not as shoddy! Yay! New in this version -- you can choose whether or not to generate characters all of one dynasty, or out of a random selection of dynasties. This should make it a bit easier to make families, though I haven't figured out a way to randomly generate parents and children yet.

Remember King Conall? He's changed.   God drat, it is hard to take a Theocracy down. Can't marry in, can't knife motherfuckers until an idiot or a child inherits. You have to just go county by county; it took 16 loving years for enough of England to fall into my hands, and every time a splinter duchy/earldom appeared, I was immediately assisting them in their independence war and then conquering them. My rear end in a top hat useless Chancellor only managing to forge one claim in all that time didn't help either. In any case, though. RULE BRITANNIA.

 So I was playing a nice Republic of Gotland -> Finland game. Holy Warred a bit and gave the Teutonic Order one of my provinces when they asked for it. Didn't think much about it and years later I realized I had a CB on them. A "Seize Tradepost" CB  Friend suggested to load up as them but I couldn't. Because they're a Theocracy

I'm thinking about a thing expanding the proselytization that you can do in pagan lands so that it's potentially available anywhere. Jiggering the numbers, of course, so that trying to convert independent characters of a high-authority faith has essentially no chance of succeeding, but potentially allowing you to peacefully appeal to rulers of a faith in decline. Crazy, or a good idea?

Can someone run me through real quick how you subvert a kingdom by marrying in? The AI's too smart to marry its heirs matrilineally and even lesser princes disdain random-rear end courtiers. So assuming I have a spare princess of my own and some third son to marry her to, what do I do with them to gain the kingdom without going to war?

Invite someone with a strong claim to the kingdom, or a younger son of the current king, to your court. Once he's there, he won't be able to refuse your marriage proposals, so then you marry him matrilineally to your daughter. If he's in line for succession Say he's the third son) just  his elder brothers 'til he's the heir. If he's not, go to war for his claim. When he and your princess have a kid, it'll be of your dynasty. Note that unless that princess is your heir, you won't actually gain the kingdom itself, you'll simply be putting a family member on the throne.

You murder the guy after he gives your daughter a son, then press the son's claim. May involve waiting for years and years, but when you press your grandson's claim he will become your vassal (unless the title is higher than yours).

Then kill the kid and get the throne yourself, he'd probably lose it anyway. I got a girl as raiding prisoner who was third in line to Byzantine throne and got myself on there this way, granted it was in pretty bad shape losing Anatolia and Armenia to Muslims, orthodox authority was in ruins, and ruling dynasty was done for. After I suppressed all revolts and converted the remaining Greeks to Norse they happily raid all over Mediterranean, now I'm just waiting Muslims to have some riot so I can get the lands back.
