I can't wait for you to create a minimap so I can finally play that wonderful looking mod

Is there some way of determining what the traditional capital of kingdoms are? Some of the kingdoms on various wikis have them listed, but I'm at a loss as to what Persia's is in particular, and it'd be nice to be able to work it out in the future.

Why? It shouldn't. Usurp and create are the same thing, just only differing in if somebody else currently has the title or not.

I understand why it's treated the same, I just don't like the rule all together. I've already got ~20 kings under me, having infinite numbers of duchies as well makes empire management dang near impossible.

So I'm nearly 1000 posts behind, and gently caress that, not reading through them. Can everyone who's doing part of the LP just give me an update on how you're doing, progress-wise? (Fair's fair: I myself have finished one update.)

Also, does someone want to volunteer to write the basic "here are all the terms, this is what they mean, this is the interface, here's what each button does" stuff? Because I really really don't want to do it.

You can't have a duchy without some landed holdings. Sounds like King of France revoked his barony, and as it was his last holding it automatically destroyed the duchy.

Under what circumstances do high-level titles just vanish without a notice? It's happened to me twice now.

First time, the jerk king of France made me a vassal of the duke of Champagne, whose personal holdings consisted entirely of the barony of Meaux (minor holding in Paris). I figured I could take him (being his only vassal with five counties) and started a war for independence. Suddenly I notice the war icon near the bottom is gone, I'm a direct vassal of the king of France, Champagne has ceased to exist, and the former duke of Champagne is now alive but landless, his barony having passed on to some other dude. I wasn't complaining because now I could form Champagne and finally be a Duke, but any idea why this would happen?

quote:

Second time, I thought I had hit the jackpot marrying off my son to the Queen of Hungary. Some muslim dude was carrying out a holy war on her, but suddenly the kingdom of Hungary was just gone. The former Queen is still landed, and the kingdom wasn't usurped - that part of the world is a clusterfuck of independent dukes and counts now. Same question here, what happened?

I've got a couple updates worth of material on Fairhair, and I just need to crop the screenshots. If you guys are comfortable waiting another week, I can deal with the nitty-gritty stuff too, and indeed I'd be more than happy to since Update 2 is literally "pres butan subjugate mans, rinse and repeat now you're Norway yayyy." So yes, it could definitely use some more flesh on its bones, especially in the early stages.

poo poo, I'll even put together the base thread if you guys want. I could probably have something up on Thursday with an update or two on Friday or Saturday.

Running an empire often puts the chore in challenge. Primarily the reason why I like to keep my Byzantine Empire Mediterranean focused to have access to all of its provinces via the much faster route of sea travel. If you want an empire that spans the known world then be ready to have to continually put down folk who aren't too happy with paying taxes for strange Norse (or whatever culture you are) buildings being built in a far away land.

Alternately, give away kingdom titles and let the kings handle the upstart peasants for you.

Heavy infantry retinue is really powerful. Could you show us the stats of your commanders? And did the enemy attack you in defensible terrain and/or crossed a river or strait?

Are you planning to post it on the official forums as well? It may attract a wider audience there too!

Revoke and destroy them. I usually get my revoke on when my ruler is old and everyone loves him or after a rebellion.

I'm wanting to put a king between me and the dukes, the game just doesn't allow you to create "Christian" kingdoms if you're pagan.

Kagon posted:

If it bothers you, go to your landed titles under the common folder and open the landed titles file. Find the kingdom you're looking for- they're listed under k_whatever (e.g., k_armenia).

Now look for this:


# Creation/usurpation trigger
allow = {
religion_group = christian
}

Delete that, and you can make the title without being Christian. I just tested it using a Zoroaster Byzantine emperor to make Armenia, and it worked.

Strudel Man posted:

Rather than taking out the creation requirements entirely, the way I'd do it is put in an alternate requirement of completely controlling the kingdom in question. I.e., for the one below, you'd have

code:

allow = {
	OR = {
		religion_group = christian
		completely_controls = k_armenia
	}
}

So you could do it with the normal thing if you're a christian, or if you're not, you can still create it if you have 100% of the counties and baronies and such.

I'm sure I read earlier in the thread that someone made a mod which adds this to every kingdom/empire in the game... was it you? Well, whoever it was: would you mind uploading it? I'd quite like to use it

I really don't have to go edit files every stinking time.

That was me! It was kingdoms only, and it's mixed in with a few other tweaks I put in, but it would be easy enough to make a public version. What's a non-pain-in-the-rear end place to upload the .rar file?

For people who want to bypass those cultural/religious requirements, but still want them to mean something, I uploaded that mod I mentioned. I don't know Fake Latin well enough to come up with a standard CK2 mod name, so I just called it Tweaked Titles. Download it here.

Basically, the cultural and religious requirements for almost every kingdom and empire can be bypassed, but only if you control the entire de jure territory, down to the last holding. Venice has a city in one of the counties on the edge? No title for you.

Compatibility with other mods: no idea! A rough guess would be if it doesn't mod landed_titles.txt, it's probably compatible with Tweaked Titles.

edit:

Fair enough!
