Broken Cog posted:Help, I gave out duchies to all my relatives, and now they're all marrying each other! This can solve itself depending on your succession law. If they're on gavelkind, multiple kids will stabilize things. If you're on elective, just nominate their heir and co-opt their progress entirely! If you're on Primogeniture or something else, your main goal will be to wait for superdukes to form, then plot to revoke a secondary ducal title. They'll probably rebel, in which case you get the duchy and get to revoke another title for treason.

So, I switched over to elective, nominated my grandson for the heir, and eveyone was fine and dandy... ...except suddenly, without any explanation, I get the message "You have a new heir", and I can't find the grandson anywhere on the elector list anymore. He's still alive, and the only thing that happened was that I gave out a county to another vassal. Is there something I'm missing about elective mode?

Under elective law, your heir isn't whoever you nominate - it's whoever has the majority (well, plurality) of votes, so that if you nominate your grandson but all your vassals want your little brother to succeed you instead, your little brother becomes the heir. Assuming it's not that, sometimes family members end up inheriting poo poo that makes them ineligible to succeed you, like temples or cities or whatnot. I'm not always sure how they do so, but sometimes they do so. I found this happening to my heir when I created a new vassal merchant republic, somehow, and gently caress if I know how.

So I apparently failed to notice that making your Norse sons into Godis no longer removes them from succession before I made my already existing Gavelkind problem worse. With my authority for this character topped out at Medium, I'm still not allowed into Primogeniture, and have no choice but to switch to elective again.

I have a game based on the Jarldom of Jorvik where I have conquered Britain, Ireland, France, Hispania, Germany, and half of Italy, and I have nothing but counts. Since I'm in Elective, I functionally get to hand pick my successor. It's glorious and actually quite easy to set up.

Huh. I was just thinking that I wasn't noticing any affairs happening in any of the pagan games I tried. Looks like there's a reason for it - the "A female courtier initiates romance with her liege" event in birth_events only triggers for lieges in the Christian religion group. It also appears that at some point, they put a stop to incestuous hijinks. It now requires "NOT = { is_close_relative = ROOT }" as well.

So I went to try the GoT mod with the new patch and it crashes on launch. I'm assuming this is just because the mod isn't compatible yet, but I don't see anything on their forum about it. Is anyone else having the same problem?

The Magyar "Form Hungary" decision is hilariously broken if you take it right after a tribal invasion when you have like 30 holdings in your demense. You get free event armies that scale with your maximum levies, so I got around 40k for free.

I'm playing as the (proper, not petty) king of Brittany, and my game keeps crashing one day after holy warring Wessex from the Norse. Is there anyway of knowing why the game crashes, because it's a pretty big setback for my Breton invasion of England if I can't hold Wessex for more than a day.

You control a good chunk of southern italy, have a large dynasty filled with some capable people, and there are plenty of delicious Islamic territory for you to win back for Christendom. Once you conquer Sicily you can either strike at the Mohammedans in Northern Africa or press your claim for part of Greece.

The poor Magyars in my game never got into the Caspian Basin and so never formed Hungary, instead they eventually formed a decent sized Crimea. However I think their culture conversion outside of the Basin is terrible, because they haven't converted a single province in 400 years.

Ever since I discovered how the console works, I can't help it to give myself some gold  Not from the start, but when I just get back from war and my armies are depleted and my neighbour wants to take over my kingdom and he calls the King of France and some other big guys into his war... Then I just go: gently caress it, get some cash and hire mercs. Am I a bad person?

Yeah, it's got to be the mod. I'm instantly crashing to desktop whenever I try to view vassals, court members, allies, etc., and one of my saves just crashes the moment I load it. I thought I'd hosed up the game somehow but since other people are having crashing problems, it might be the mod going haywire.

So I made an evil bitch of a duchess in Crete so I could play around with enatic-cognatic succession. Joined the Byzantines, tried to help out in their early wars, but discovered that I didn't start with shipbuilding at 1, and eventually just said gently caress it. After my first husband gave me two sons, I had him imprisoned and executed and married a Bulgarian prince, who finally gave me a daughter. Then I died at 25. So it jumped to my 2 year old daughter. I end up marrying one of my half brothers off to a countess in Essex (my previous duchess executed the other one). Eventually I get a message that he's trying to kill me. That's a bit of an issue since I'm still a kid, and I can't tell him to knock that poo poo off since he's half way across the map. Whatever, I make it to 18 just fine, marry a German prince and... have a fall off a tower. Suddenly I was the half brother's 2 year old daughter. I love this game. beedeebee posted:Ever since I discovered how the console works, I can't help it to give myself some gold Nah, I did that a lot, especially when I was new to the game. Now I just do it when I get all the land to make a kingdom or whatever and have to wait for several years to get enough money and piety to make it.

Well, my ruler died before I could change the last couple of titles over to Elective. But because it was only a Kingdom and an Empire, they both would have gone to my first-born son anyway. Then it was just a case of giving away Counties outside of the one Duchy I hold and... sorry boys, but you ain't getting poo poo from daddy. Obviously, succession is being a little tense, with half my vassals hating my guts, but everyone seems to be joining different/new factions, so I'm not sure any of them will get enough support to challenge me. Now I just need my current ruler to pop out some decent children.
