Flesnolk posted:So in my Kingdom of Ireland game, two of my vassals went to war over one of their duchies, and since I didn't want those idiots murdering each other but couldn't join the war to force an end to it, I changed the crown authority so that vassals couldn't fight their own wars. All that seems to have done is put both of them in stasis, armies deployed and at war but not moving, fighting or doing anything. While I've smashed the Normans and Yorkists to keep my son in law on the English throne, those armies are still standing around doing nothing, and I've been unable to do anything to force the war to end - for example, I can't revoke the Duchy of Leinster because it's the target of the war. I'm starting to consider assassinating the aggressor to render the CB invalid. I've tried to wait until it ends on its own, and I even lowered the crown authority again, but that didn't do anything. Is there a way to fix this or is it completely screwed? Try switching to one of them using the console ` then 'charinfo 1' to find their char id and then 'play [charid]' to play as them. You could swap to the aggressor and surrender the war if a white peace won't be accepted by either side. Make sure you save before doing this, and do not under any circumstances unpause, as the AI can gently caress up your empire with a single day of control.

Gavelkind succession is bust as poo poo. I've made the kingdom of hungary, neatly portioned out all of my vassals into counts then given counts ducal titles and the appropriate vassals. I own Bulgaria, Hungary, Taurica (the land but not the title) and Wallachia (same as Taurica). I am also Carpathian Emperor. When my Emperor dies, my heir gets Carpathia. His half-brother gets Bulgaria. The Wallachian and Taurican vassals still swear allegiance to me. And my brother swears allegiance to me. However the Kingdom of Hungary disappeared. All of the vassals shattered into independent counties, with the dukes still existing but having no vassals. I offered vassalisation and almost all of them accepted. But wtf? I had to re-make the kingdom and give the vassals back to the right dukes. How did that even happen? Antinumeric fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Jun 14, 2013 |

I got a message saying that a claimant to some of my titles was preparing an invasion. I checked him out and he had 17 Intrigue, so I thought: "Meh, I can squash him like a bug when he attacks." Yeah. He attacked with 27,000 troops.  A couple of  attempts later, though, they all disappeared for some reason.

How do prepared invasions work? Those warriors come to my court and then two years pass and they get edgy and go away because I haven't invaded. The declare war button is grey because I have levies raised and there is no decision like "now is the time to invade!!" either. vvvv Oh.

I wanna know how they work. One time I prepared one against a large nation and got like 400 dudes, and another time I burned one on Brittany and literally 12000 Carls showed up. I'm thinking it must be related to your own levies because I didn't get enough boats to carry them all which is a reflection of my actual levies.

Is there a guide anywhere on line dealing with modding CK2 or paradox games in general. I like the idea of trying to make that possessed demon retinue mini-mod I talked about earlier. I played around with some files back in the days of HoI2, is paradox's stuff still basically coded the same way?

Emperor Conall finally got his first stroke of bad luck, and it was a doozy. The Aztecs invaded Scotland. They showed up with 20,000 men and I thought okay, whatever, I can raise 100,000. So I did, and as I was consolidating them the Aztecs run rampant across the levies who are close to them. I finally get an army of 27,000 together, appoint my best generals, send it against the Aztecs... and lose. Oh, and apparently the Aztecs have noticed that I have men to spare becase their ridiculous gently caress-off fleet drops off another 6 stacks of 20k men each. What in the loving gently caress is this? They have infinite men, I assassinated their ruler and it does gently caress all because another one just pops up and the war keeps going, also their rulers have a blank family tree and are reigning from a place that isn't on the map, and I need 2:1 odds to win a fight with them and they inflict more casualties then I do even when I win. Do they have plot armor? Are they literally unbeatable?

NihilVerumNisiMors posted:So, the Seljuks just arrived in my game. I can raise more than their 50.000 troops but on the way up there, they suffer horrible attrition. If I let them do their thing for a while the warscore quickly goes up to 80% so that seems a bit dangerous. Any ideas what to do? In my Zoroastrian game, I had all of Persia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Khiva, Alania, Armenia, Jerusalem, and Turmekistan, so this advice might only be useful if you can raised 117k like I could. I also couldn't organize my armies fast enough because Persia takes so long for armies to move, so as the Seljuks are around assaulting, I just gave them Turmekistan. They turned their focus towards Cumania and their entire doomstack went that way. So I immediately declared war and took Turmekistan back while the stack was distracted. After that, Seljuks had like 5 provinces in Cumania and their doomstack. I ended up killing the doomstack because it stopped reinforcing and I had massive armies with horse archers too. So After about 2-3 battles, they were wiped out simply because I had the numbers to keep sending 30k stacks.

Seriously speaking, the only real way is to conquer some faraway place as fast as you can and retreat to there and hide until they start to lose steam. At some point they'll start to settle down, which is when they can start to have civil wars over succession.

I wish more mods did stuff with cultures. There's a whole bunch of stuff I'd want to see, both made up and real. For instance Norse on Celtic provinces could have events to become Manx. A fun made up one that happens a lot could be when Arabs take over Greek territories - Greco-Arabs? And thinking about it, Byzantines often seems to find their way into areas it never got to. Taurica, notably.

CapnAndy posted:Yeah, they sort of won the war for Scotland and I have 9,000 men left out of my 100k while they have multiple untouched 20k doomstacks. I'm gonna reload and have armies waiting for them so I don't take that fuckoff no morale penalty and see how it goes, but they seem to have armies on infinite-spawn and if there's no AI between them and me to make them "settle down" or whatever and start playing by the rules... The Aztecs should not be spawning additional armies unless something has changed in recent patches. They get two doomstacks, one from each of the two aztec landing events. What might be throwing you is that they get their doomstacks in multiple lots of 20k soldiers, and occasionally there is a graphical display bug with large armies where the display under the units shows only the size of the largest army in the stack. So what looks like 20k men might in fact be 120k men, which could be why your 27k army loses to them, and why they appear to have infinite reinforcements, because the death of one 20k army just means that the next largest army is taking its place at the top of the stack. It's been a while since I fought the Aztecs, but fighting against the Mongols as a large empire is a case of gathering your army into a single huge host and parking it off the coast of the black sea or the med, and using a small fast army (I don't remember if an all-horse retinue moves faster than a mixed one but try that) to lure the Mongols on a merry chase across Persia and Mesopotamia or Cumania to the shore whereupon you dump every single one of your soldiers into an adjacent province and crush the Mongols in a single huge battle before attrition can kill them off.

I'm assuming that the horde mechanics for the Mongols are the same as the Aztecs, and if they are NEVER ASSASSINATE THEIR LEADERS! The 100k-ish attrtion-free doomstacks spawn once per ruler and do not reinforce. So if you assassinate a ruler, not only does it not end the war but they get to reinforce the doomstack! Unless you've got a giant gently caress-off empire already, it may take a few wars until the big doomstack gets worn down. That also said, due to the Atlantic Ocean existing the Aztecs are much more vulnerable to navy bombs than the Mongols.

I can only give you hints about the start of the war. Biggest question: How could the Aztecs kill your levies one by one? You play an island nation, as soon as you raise your levies you immediately let them board your ships and then you can gather them in one place.

It works for me, but I'm getting doubled up buildings in every province. While it's pretty funny to start as the Count of Dublin and have a fort level of 6.5 at game start, it's not quite right. 100 years into the game very few Counts have expanded, because it's so hard to siege down anything. Once you get a couple of provinces however, your levies become massive and the only thing stopping you is succession crises. (Shattered Europe scenario)

If you want to see proper Anglo-Saxon city names, or proper Arab names in Spain, or Slavic names in Great Moravia, then this is the minimod for you. Just replace the standard CK2+ landed_titles folder with this one. I do this myself by researching what the names mean and then translating them into Icelandic which is 'close enough' for Norse. I might be a bit of a nerd.

I had an organization question. I've started a game as the Byzantines, and I'm immediately given the option to create several kingdoms. If I do that, a number of them immediately become title loss on succession and almost all of them start with minimal crown authority. I haven't played the Byzantines before, is the idea to create the kingdoms and then immediately pass them off to a vassal to let them deal with the problem? Or do I just suck at CKII and there's something easy that I'm missing?

Byzantium starts with Primogeniture so creating all of those kingdoms means that your reject younger kids will take them. It's dumb and I don't know why that's how it works.
