I've had a sad lack on holy wars declared on me--or many wars at all. I've become rather terrifying by the 11th century, I guess. I'm trying to push into the Mediterranean now so that hopefully when crusades and jihads start occurring, they'll give me a try. Maybe taking Rome will convince them.

In my current game, I started in Denmark and conquered southern England. My English vassals steadily expanded north until they reached a powerful unified Scotland/Ireland, and then proceeded to press a weak claim of my ruler against the Scottish Queen without my consent or participation AND WON, just about doubling my levy strength. Somewhere along the way, they conquered Brittany as well.

Oh, yeah, that is a definitely nice thing. It gets even better when you hit Empire status, because then? Kings start saying, "Yeah, I want these lands.", and lo and behold, your domain starts just getting bigger. A lot bigger. Freakishly bigger.

Unless said Emperor is SIGURD YNGLING, THE 200 YEAR OLD GOD EMPEROR OF THE FROZEN NORTH. In which case, they're all his direct descendants, and they all know they got as much of a chance as the next guy of inheriting, because the Yngling family tree by now is like a giant circle.

Crusaderking posted:So I was clowning around with the ruler designer in the Project Balance mod,(which for whatever reason has set all the penalties for traits to 0) and I created a martial demigod with 21 health. He died at age 38 in single combat against a 55 year old drunken, craven, gluttonous bastard in a fight where said bastard was outnumbered 4 to 1. Did you give him a fighter trait, though? PB has a nice system in place for personal combat ability, and it considers martial to be mostly a "commander" stat. Even a character with Brilliant Strategist can be relatively bad at actually swinging a sword (and thus more likely to die in battle).

Jastiger posted:I don't have an idea of the pacing of the game maybe. Maybe I went too fast? I. WANT. ENGLAND. One of the advantages of the Stamford Bridge starting scenario is that England pretty much always ends up severely hosed up. It's pretty common for either Norway or Normandy to win the war, but only just barely leaving a large anglo-saxon contingent in control of their lands, who eventually rebel against the Conqueror, and then regardless of the outcome there England just spirals into neverending civil wars. So England isn't really a threat in the early game, and Scotland has a similar but less severe problem. Generally when I play with an Ireland start, my initial goal is to unify Ireland and spend some time putting my house in order. This means focusing on marriages and children, and attempting to either get additional land with a favourable inheritance, or failing that finding a spouse with good congenital traits that will help me raise an heir with a good diplomatic score. In my first game of CK2, I was able to get the Duchies of Thuringia and Aquitaine through favourable marriages to women who were the sole child of their father. It took a lot of looking around to get them, but their tax revenue helped fund my expansion. My successor then usually focuses on sniping rebelling counties off Scotland and England, and hopefully forming Wales or Scotland. Then subsequent generations would focus on grinding down England or going on Crusade. Forming Britannia, unless you are already adept at things, is a multi-generation game.

No it works pretty good if you have medium authority and elective with dynasty members installed as kings and strong dukes. Election allows to jump from one supergenius ruler to other within the dynasty and not have to deal with revolts every succession. Having powerful relatives also means anyone going to war against dynasty member ends under a giant dogpile so kings are able to hold on to their kingdoms and expand.

What line in what file do you have to change in order to be able to usurp titles at 50%, instead of 51% ownership? I thought I found it in defines.lua but when I boot up my save it's still saying 51%

Having powerful relatives also means anyone going to war against dynasty member ends under a giant dogpile so kings are able to hold on to their kingdoms and expand. I like elective for this reason, but I don't pick it for role-playing reasons.  Playing Primo, it always ends up more trouble than it's worth, especially with successions. All it takes is a couple of jackwad former sons/now uncles who decide they would look cool in the big chair and you've got issues. Especially when the ambitious trait starts seeping in after a few generations outside your control. You can often avoid it by keeping about 1k ducats in the bank (it's expensive to bribe kings) and try to bribe faction members to over 80 r'ship. Then again, dealing with successions etc is half the fun.

Rejected Fate posted:Oh, has anyone played that Winter King mod? Any good? It is stupidly fun. Like, really stupidly fun. If you have read Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Series then the mod will be twice as fun because it takes a lot of its inspirations from there (i.e., Lancelot is a vain, lying, pretty-boy better at paying bards to speak of his heroic feats than actually doing them; Merlin is a badass druid and Nimue is a crazy badass druid; motherfucking Derfel Cadran and the Wolftails). If not, the mod is still a ton of fun and a pretty cool semi-alt history scenario where you can see the rise (and probably fall) of a historically plausible King Arthur facing off the Germanic hordes. Or you can be one of those stinky Saxons and poo poo all over Arthur's dream of a united Britain. The mod itself is all really well done and there are hundreds of new events/decisions that flesh out the world and make it seem more alive. edit: Also new patch probably breaks all the mods I play. Guess it's time to not play CK2 for a while! Paradox's awesome support of their games is so bittersweet.

With the AI tweaks in this patch, I hope they eventually make it so that the AI is more willing to consolidate its current/de-jure counties before expanding outward. States on the outer edges are fine, but not dudes sitting in the middle of your territory; so that means the HRE would always go after Franconia first before attempting to re-take or even ignoring the Netherlands if they go independent.

The contest winning events are a bit disappointing. The Mande and Suomenusko ones are alright, but the third winner is a horribly broken Norse event which gives you two choices (and a third if you're greedy) - one choice gives you 100 gold and prestige and the Zealous trait, the second costs you 100 prestige and the third costs you 100 prestige and gives other Pagan rulers a negative diplomatic modifier towards you. Meanwhile the quite nice Slavic events get the shaft, and the Slavs continue to be really anemic so that the already really awesome and fun-to-play Norse get more goodies. :/

Belasarius posted:I guess it is for the people that "role play" their characters and write epic sagas about them. It's just flat out bad for roleplaying, is the thing. A mixed event where there's no standout good option is great (and/or a mod where traits aren't just mostly good/bad mirrors of each other), you can choose whichever one fits your character best without taking a big gameplay penalty as a result.

I hate events where it doesn't tell you the effects like the peasant demanding money from a courtier. I don't have enough of the facts to know whether the peasant is right or not and the reactions seem to be random, so why am I being bothered with it?
