So uh, just curious to see if something's screwy in my map folder or if it's the mod's fault - is anyone else using ck2+ getting this? Basically it's a (very slow!) wormhole to Polotsk - the Kingdom of Ghana has been using it to declare province conquests on Lithuania off and on for the past century. Before I finally noticed and consoled them to stop they had 80% warscore in the most recent one.

You know, I was wondering why my ducal kinsmen were eating parts of Lithuania. I just figured one of my marriages had gotten lucky while I wasn't paying attention.

Flesnolk posted:So I had a few miscellaneous political questions. First, I finally had enough of the constant civil wars and murder attempts kicked up mostly by Spain a good ways back in game time, and booted crown authority back up to Absolute because it says right on the tin vassals are not allowed to fight their own wars, and yet they keep doing exactly that. Sure, it's been less often, but there's still continual wars between vassals, be it rebellions against each other or moves on their titles, and even vassals attacking outside states on their own. Barcelona finished off the Almoravids for me by holy warring for their last holdings a long time ago in-game, while the king of Jerusalem just kicked the Pope out of Jerusalem proper. Why is the absolute crown authority so... well, not absolute? I can't help missing being able to just order vassals to cut their poo poo out in the GoT mod. I'm guessing that you have absolute crown authority for Brittania, meaning that those rules are only going to apply to all the kingdoms within whatever is currently de jure Brittania. So if Aragon hasn't de jure drifted into Brittania yet, whatever their crown authority laws are will apply to Barcelona hence why they were able to war the Almovarids.

Hmm, I captured Amalfi thinking it would be a cash cow for my King of Sicily game, however whenever those damned patricians get back into power, and they always do, rather quickly no matter who you put in charge of the County, they seem to pay a pitiful amount of tax? They have that drat 25% Patrician modifier to tax payments. Is there any way of me fixing it somehow to get that County to generate more tax for me instead of lining the Patricians pockets? I keep them bribed and toss them an honourary title every now and then, but they seem to like to change ruler a lot. They do however provide me with an absolute truckload of boats for my wars, which is immensely handy to go warring about the Mediterranean in, so I would at least like to keep them within my realm.

On the topic of ~pretty borders~, does anyone else try to de jure drift duchies around in order to make kingdom boundaries prettier? I hate out-of-place duchies like Skane and Cornwall and try to drift them into Sweden and England, and I try to drift away dinky little kingdoms like Navarre or Brittany.

So I'm noticing a lot of heresies springing up, check the moral authority of Catholicism and it's somewhere around 50%. What's going on? Well, turns out there's an anti-pope. A female anti-pope. Living in Rome. Landless. With the title King-Bishop for some reason. Everyone loves her so my plot to kill ger gets like two supporters, the current actual pope being one of them. Then I get possibly the best event I've ever seen 'Pope Agapetus VII has told everyone about my plot to Kill King-Bishop Lucezia after drinking too much in a local tavern. I should have never gotten that drunken fool involved!'. What even. I'm so confused on so many levels.

It's apparently surprisingly common. I have no idea why she's a King-Bishop, through.

So in my Rus game I'm two provinces away from being able to form Russia. I could either press one claim for one of my dukes and fabricate a second for myself against a pair of tiny tribes or snatch up a pair of counties from Poland. I can command up to 35K troops to Poland's 13K or so, so I went that route. Fast forward about four years and it's a total stalemate. It turns out that every single province in Poland has a supply limit in the hundreds, so by the time I manage to siege two provinces my army has whittled down to 1/8th its original size and I still hadn't even seen any Polish armies. By the time I regroup and get some mercenaries together they've strolled in and taken back the sieged land before disappearing again. This process repeats itself two more times before I finally meet up with and completely destroy their army. Between the fighting and the attrition I'm down to 2K troops, and then out of nowhere am stomped by a fresh 8K stack of Polish troops. Should I just white peace out of this war, conquer some of my other neighbors to raise my levy numbers, and try again with a bigger force? I could try attacking with several smaller stacks but the supply limit is so low that attrition will take them right below the number of troops needed to successfully siege. I can't even marry and stab my way into Poland because they won't accept marriages from an infidel.

How close are you to Military Organisation level 4 (I think it's level 4, anyway)? That makes the supply limits in unreformed pagan-held counties shoot right up.

The logic that assigns titles to characters kind of breaks down in places (see also: people who are married to adventurers getting "Leader of <spouse>'s Host" because there are no consort titles anymore, and anything at all having to do with Papal bastards.)

BravestOfTheLamps posted:I think the explanation is that the previous Pope had a bastard child, and that child gained a claim to the Papacy. It's apparently surprisingly common. I checked and she had no claims and no lands and wasn't related to any pope current or previous. And she was listed as a full antipope despite being a landless courtier in the Pope's court. It's actually so funny I don't mind but obviously a bug I guess. I ended up just assassinating her via the diplomacy screen and because she's technically only a courtier it cost like 50 gold and had an 80% success rate.

The Catholics and the Orthodox would "only" have to agree on theological issues. The Shiite on the other hand think the Sunni stole the Caliphate from Ali (and later killed him?) There is simply nothing that can be done anymore. By all means, correct me if I'm wrong.

Is there anything fun I can do with Rome playing as a Greek Orthodox ruler in the Byzantine Empire? I conquered it because it was beside my territory and it seemed like an amusing idea, and plonked a very happy religious chap on there. Seems to have made all the Christian nations a bit uppity though, they've done a couple of unsuccessful Holy Wars to take it back. Beyond it being a Holy Site for Orthodoxy and providing a tidy income, can I do anything else? What about these anti-popes? Can I set up one of those for a laugh to see what happens?

I've been playing CKII off and on ever since I got it last year, but only picked it up again recently during the steam sale after grabbing the Republic and the Old Gods. I was very excited about the possibilities that come with trade empires in the Republic but I felt like I was missing something and it seemed a bit boring. Is it possible to start as a non-trading republic nation and become one? That seems like it would be more interesting. I was blown away by the Old Gods though, playing as a pagan in the early start is really fun and hectic.

Yeah, merchant republics are a nice idea but there's a lot more they could have done with them. I've never found playing as one interesting enough to play a full game to 1453.

De jure drift can happen at the kingdom or empire level, so I would do things like grant the (vassal) duchy of Skane to the (vassal) king of Sweden as Emperor of Scandanavia because I thought it was silly that this little piece at the tip counted as Denmark rather than Sweden. Then in 100 years it would officially become part of Sweden.

Great, I think I broke it... Can you think of anything specific that would cause a pop-up box with no text and no 'OK'(So you can't dismiss the thing) to pop up days after you start? Been trying to make sure everyone gets raiding and rivers, everyone gets to go on Adventures, everyone can serve on the council, all females can get usually male-only events(You'd be amazed how much is barred via 'male_only' or 'is_female=no')...

Great Lakes Log posted:Is it possible to start as a non-trading republic nation and become one? That seems like it would be more interesting. Yes, in my current game I accidentally converted the kingdom of Bulgaria to a merchant republic while it was part of the Byzantine Empire. I did it by handing off a province to a mayor, then stealing the province back. The province had been changed so that the capital was a city instead of a castle which can't be undone by a player so I gave that province to my heir. Then I pressed my heir's claim on Bulgaria and the result is that when I took his place, he had converted the entire country to a merchant republic. I kind of wish I had managed to make him emperor just to see the chaos that this would make...
