You know, the ability to tutor jailed children definitely makes possible some interesting plans. Such as kidnapping the one-year-old bastard child of a gigantic caliphate spanning Africa, Mauretania, Spain, and most of France, personally bringing him up as a good Norseman, matrilineally marrying him to one of your daughters, and hopefully one day soon pressing his claim to the whole thing. I'm about midway through it at present - the kid is twelve years old, and Norse Norse. Unfortunately, I started a war for the Jarldom of Normandy about three years back, and my Manchurian candidate is close enough to the current Caliph to be considered a hostage, I guess, because when I actually win the war he's automatically returned. I can't chance letting him be tutored four years under a mullah, so I have to drag this war out a while longer. Or a lot longer, really.

Noreaus posted:Something somebody just pointed out in the Ck2+ thread on paradox plaza: "The AI never forms secondary duchies or kingdoms whether gavelkind or otherwise, it's not as noticeable in Vanilla because of different CB's which give duchy titles." Yeah, I've been forced to switch over to AI rulers and just form all of their poo poo for them. It's a fix, because once they get kingdoms they will form their own duchies, but it's a lovely fix. I wonder what is causing the problem. edit: Doomdark has recognized the problem and it looks like it will be fixed next patch.

Mister Bates posted:Yeah, pretty sure that's the issue, I'm playing as Rurik and almost all the unmarried women in the world are considered 'heathens' relative to me. So is that intended behavior for the game? Are we not allowed to marry outside of our religion any more? What about my medieval eugenics program? Kidnap them in raid, make them concubines and then marry and ask to convert

I'm having fun in my latest attempt at a game that lasts more than two hundred years. Formed the Scandinavian Empire, and have taken over Ireland to kill time while waiting for truces and claims to mature against Denmark. I'm currently debating spreading into Russia and taking over the rest of Brittannia and then chilling for a while, consolidating my family's position within the Empire while waiting for Brittannia and Russia to become de jure Scandinavian. Oh, and for added hilarity I've absorbed all of de jure Norway into de jure Sweden, and effectively took one of my sons' inheritance away by holding both titular Norway and Sweden and the first son got two of my counties and my duchy as well as Sweden and the Empire while the second got one county and titular Norway, while the third got several counties in Ireland/Wales. So that's one pretender to the throne that it's gonna be easy to kick over.

Okay, dumbass question time: I just started a Republic (Venice, 867 start). It's babby's first Republic, so I've been kind of learning as I go along. I've been tearing up Italy, and it just occured to me... Can Republics form Empires at all? Or have I just wasted a lot of time and money?

Generally it's just for show though since you can't use Medium Crown Authority to push de jure claims, but eh, it shows those bluebloods that Empires aren't only for nobles. toasterwarrior fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Jun 28, 2013 |

You'll be waiting a while. On a side note, would it be possible to mod in an event chain to bypass the bug? I'm waiting to absorb Britannia too.

Nothing will stop my desires to mutilate the de jure map mode!

... Oho. So I do need the kingdoms of Sicily and Italy. Welp! Time to go a-stabbin' Byzantine Emperors. Edit: Stabbing complete! Two Byzantine Emperors, One king of Italy, four fabricated claims and 5000 Ducats later... Edit 2: Not shown, the Serene Grand Republic of Jerusalem. You can just about see Scotland up there. My last two rulers had to step in to win two Crusades and stop one Reformed Norse holy war for Germany.

Whenever I run CK2+, the only Republic it will let me play in 867 is that one Archon in southern Italy. It's driving me nuts. CK2+ can rot for all I care. e: As I've just discovered, Vanilla is running only a modest improvement over CK2+, because I'm getting "cannot play Republics!" when I want to roll as a Lord Mayor of some ho-dunk county.

A Tartan Tory posted:Anyone ever played as a zoroastrian republic by any chance? I can only imagine how hilarious everyone having 3 concubines is for making trade posts. If it's anything like a Norse Merchant Republic, you'll have effectively unlimited trade posts if you can manage to not expand. The downside of course is that expansion is fun, and making sure every province is a city owned by a relative is also fun, so you won't have as many trade posts as you would think.

If you still want to give CK2+ a try, I found out that the reason you can't play Venice in the 867 start is that Wiz forgot to add the new families and their holdings as vassals to the Serene Doge. I posted instructions how to fix it; just check my post history in this thread.
