Anyone have any idea as how I could go around pruning a save? For some reason whats the save clocks past 78mb in size its unplayable in singleplayer on either of my gaming computers. My friend with a much more powerful computer only slightly notices any issues.

I have about 14 duchies+Kingdom of Finland I can create. Always create duchies. The new technology system doesn't function below the ducal level. Kingdoms are often personal preference, but I like handing them out. I like having fewer, stronger vassals to deal with since they can expand my realm better than weak vassals and it's easier to leverage your chancellor and spymaster against like 3 people rather than 15.

Giving away kingdoms isn't exactly optimal, but yeah, I do it as well since it cuts down on micromanagement.

Morol posted:Is there a mod that make the AI not move their capital around too much. Seeing the Abbasids ruled from some desolate place in Arabia and not Baghdad is pretty silly. Often this is due to successful rebellions for a King (or Emperor) title - these don't include a claim on the natural capital of that de jure kingdom or empire, so the new king rules from his personal demense.

I'd better start creating some of those 38 titles I've got pending then, I had no idea there was anything wrong with just not creating duchies to ensure that rebellions were as fractured as possible.

How do I take concubines from foreign courts? I've spotted a young and quick Orthodox girl, and I'm hoping she can give my current Fylkir the male heir that his Empress (and concubine Spymaster) can't.

The Holy Roman Empire has ceased to exist in my current CK2+ game. What was the likely cause of its death? The last HREmperor seems to have been a Norwegian Yngling and current duke of Vestlandet, but he lost the HRE crown eight years ago and doesn't even have a legacy claim on it anymore.

Invite them to you court first, or go siege down whatever castle they are in and hope the RNG lets you take them by force.

I confess I hadn't been paying much attention to there, but last I had checked, the HRE had lost Italy and that was it. Everything else was still loyal. Maybe... since the last emperor was a Norwegian, could there have been a mass-independence revolt of the German dukes, leaving the remnant-HRE below the holding threshold and triggering its dissolution that way?

My wife, a Swedish petty Queen, has just done a prepared invasion of Persia. Norse Persia is now a thing. I'm tempted to switch characters and play as her for a bit. Also I'm playing CK2+ with that hotfix posted earlier and somehow myself (king of Rus) and all my dukes are on agnatic primogeniture despite being unreformed Norse. I have no idea how this has happened, but it is a very convenient bug.

Actually it wasn't Persia, I misremembered from last night. It was actually that kingdom to the north of it. Sadly they had a civil war in the middle of my wife's invasion so she didn't get the whole place. I wonder how long she will manage to keep hold of it. Also I didn't notice until taking that screenshot that her mother is my cousin. That would explain why two of our kids are ugly. toasterwarrior posted:Wiz has just uploaded the latest version of CK2+ that will work with the latest patch, and will be out on vacation for three weeks.

Looking to start a new game as I pretty much ran out of things to do in my current run as the doge of Amalfi... Any suggestions on how to win the war of the two Eriks as Erik the Heathen in 1066? The other one's army is more than twice your size and that's before Denmark and Norway decide to join. Alternatively I'm also looking for a way to survive getting declared holy war on within the first year as the emir of Sicily.  Also, having the pope as your vassal is apparently something you can do.

Denmark and Norway aren't immediately allied with Sweden, and Uppland starts out independent. Expand a bit into Norrland and wait for Norway and Sweden to go to war over Viken, then reap your crown from the chaos

I'm not quite sure what happened in my game, but pretty borders have died a horrible death. I started as the Sorbs before forming the Wendish Empire and the image was taken at year 1044. Europe has always been a clusterfuck because everyone is a Karling. I think at one point the King of Bavaria held most of the Karling titles, but a quick stab and gavelkind took care of that. The orange/yellow in Sicily, Germany, and Croatia are the remnants of the Byzantine Empire, which fell apart after the Shia kingdom in purple won a bunch of holy wars I'm guessing. They held on to bits of Croatia and Crimea before getting to where they are now, having just recently pressed the Emperor's son's claim to the German throne and winning. The Norse managed to form the Kingdom of Rus and held onto it for a while but gavelkind along with me warring for parts reduced it to a one province minor. There are still a few Norse rulers in Scandinavia but I think the highest title they still own is the red duchy in Denmark; none of Ragnar's sons really did anything important. The Magyars never settled down and got gobbled up by several nations which was helped along by the Seljuk invasion. I still have about 400 years left, but I'm expecting for borders to get worse because the Shia seem to be holy warring their way across Europe.

Amusingly, I checked out England and found out it's ruled by the FitzRichard dynasty, founded by Richard 'the Bastard' and illegitimate grandson of William the Bastard. I'm hoping that future English ruling dynasties have similar origins, leading to a period of English history that could be called "Bastardized England".

Crossposting from the Paradox forums: Had a weird bug playing as Seljuk Sultanate, their CoA has changed mid-game. Can reproduce it as follows: - On the new game screen, select the Seljuk Sultanate, note their CoA. - Now select another ruler, then select the Seljuk Sultanate again. => The CoA has now changed. This is with CK2+ 2.01.2, no other mods installed, none of the optional modules enabled. Vanilla works fine - anyone else encountered this problem?

I wish there was some way to send somebody to try and make people fall to heresy. Like, a Court Heretic or a job for the spymaster or something. Being able to get some child king dumbass to convert to Islam and then going HEY LOOK AT THE INFIDEL, HOLY WAR TIME would be wonderful.

If you could appoint a heretic as your seer/Chaplain, then the people they convert would convert to the chaplain's religion. I found that out after my ruler converted and his chaplain stayed the same.

Reveilled posted:Oh gently caress yes please. I thought that was hardcoded, how did you manage it? I did also have to revise the events themselves, of course, overhauling the local lord's response to something generalized and hopefully reasonableish. Basically I have starting weights of 100 to imprison the missionary, and 5 to allow them to work. Then I apply a number of modifiers, exclusively to the "allow" weight: x.3 if zealous. x.2 if one of their vassals is the controller of their religion. x.75 before 930 A variety of modifiers for unreformed pagans against conversion attempts by various religions, from .3 to 1.5, for historical reasons x1.5 if cynical. (I took out the 'arbitrary' modifier entirely, as it doesn't really seem to fit) x2 if the religion is not reformed Moral authority effects: x.5 for every 10% moral authority of the target's religion, above 60%. That is, the chance is halved at 60%, halved again at 70%, halved again at 80%, and so forth. x1.67 for every 10% moral authority beneath 50%. Reversed for sender's religion, x1.67 for every 10% above 60%, x.5 for every 10% below 50%. Net effect is that if BOTH religions are notable high OR notably low, the overall chance of conversion goes down - if high, because people aren't going to abandon a strong faith just because another faith is also strong, and if low, because if somebody IS going to jump ship, they're not going to do so to a faith that's similarly floundering. Small effects for the subject's opinion of the sender, x1.1 for every 20 opinion above 0. Sending bribes along with the missionary is a historically appropriate tactic, even if it won't make that much difference. Likewise, x.9 for every 20 below 0. x1.3 if the target has a concubine or wife of the missionary's faith. x1.5 if the target and sender are the same culture, stacking with... x1.3 if the target and sender are the same culture group. x2 if the target and sender are of the same dynasty. And finally, to hopefully kill off some really unlikely possibilities: x0.2 if the sender and target are already in the same religion group, and are NOT pagans. An Orthodox character is unlikely to be impressed by a Catholic missionary, since they're not really bringing anything new to the table. Stacks with... x0.2 if the sender is a heresy of the target, or vice versa. Gotta settle those disputes with the sword. There were a few other little adjustments I wanted to make, and then I thought I'd put this up somewhere.

The biggest thing that's changed since then that you'll actually have to deal with is the Technology system, which, back when this was made, was something you'd look at like once ever 150 years because your ability to actually affect it was minimal. Now you get points and can spend those points to gain tech levels so you actually have to pay attention to it.
