moroboshi posted:However, when they had a daughter I got an inheritance warning and the daughter (my granddaughter is listed as the heir to France with red text, meaning that she's a non-dynastic heir... what's going on here? I think I get it. 1) Your granddaughter is the non-dynastic heir to the Kingdom of France, because the holder is your son's wife who is probably from some other dynasty, and her heir is your granddaughter who is of your dynasty. 2) If your granddaughter inherits your son's duchy and France before you die, your son's duchy will leave your realm (unless she inherits the duchy first and you're an emperor. Maybe.) This is assuming your son is your vassal, of course. This may e why you're getting that drop-down warning. Not sure how proactive it is.

And actually when I click on my son the "Heir" text is black, and on the queen who is not of my dynasty it is red, so that does make sense. It would be helpful if it was presented better though. Thanks!

Leb posted:King vassals are definitely fun if you're looking for a challenge that an empire full of archbishops can't provide. And it does definitely cut down on the micromanagement and makes successions exciting. Heh, you mean like in the Game of Thrones mod? Them civil wars can be quite fun since it's 7 kingdoms and the riverlands who are picking sides, with each having at a bare minimum of ~20,000 men. That makes for some pretty violent, and awesome, civil wars.

I suddenly realised that a Sultanate is a King-level title, and realised that if I pressed the kid's claim, he'd be my vassal. At which point I decided it was a risk worth taking and promptly walked all over the Umayyads (at this point, I can call on 170k levies). My new uber-vassal now only has a little over 1000 levies. I think I'll babysit him for a while until he can hold his own, then cut him loose and watch the fireworks.

TjyvTompa posted:Well of course the absolute worst could happen, its part of the gamble. I never said king vassals was the solution to all problems that made for a for-eternity-stable empire. Personally I would rather handle the chance of a major revolt during succession than the constant duke rebellions. I almost pop a vein in my brain every time fucktard duke #25 thinks he can take on the empire with his 2 counties and across-europe single-county ally. Dukes don't rebel at all if their power is weak relative to yours. The size of their personal demesne also factors into this, so if you have a bunch of dukes with single counties and their own vassals, then you won't ever see rebellions.

Playing a Zoroastrian Game to convert over to EU4, got stalled out in a weird way. My Expansion into Persia proper has been halted by the abbasids, who have grown to encompass all of the middle east, Egypt and Persia, as well as half of Anatolia. Decided to beat up the cumans while I waited to see if I could just wait for decadence to screw him over. NOPE. this guy gets so many rebellions to put down he is stuck a 3% decadence from all the combat hes getting in to. And I can't assassinate him, because none of his courtiers get more than 10% plot power on him, and I cant pay as I need the gold to build up for if/when he decides to holy war me. Hopefully when he dies, probably at the age 106 as it would be the cap on his career of blocking me from doing anything fun, his realm will fragment gloriously. Until then I get to fume at the Tartari Empire being for Altaic cultures only.

Edit:^^^^ I had this as well, only the Abbasids had the Middle East, Persia, Egypt, Mauretania, all of Spain except for Galicia and Leon, all of Aquitaine and half of France. They could call up 200.000 men in the year 1000.  Knuc If U Buck posted:Dukes don't rebel at all if their power is weak relative to yours. The size of their personal demesne also factors into this, so if you have a bunch of dukes with single counties and their own vassals, then you won't ever see rebellions. I can only agree. Checking factions as a ruler with free duchy revocations is just easy. Revoke his duchy and give it to one of his former counts, problem solved since the faction member is no longer your vassal and the new duke immediately likes you.

TOG Muslims levy calculations seem a bit off to me. I've seen the Umayyad get up to 50-60k levies when comparable realms in size (or even bigger) such as the ERE or West Francia have at most 20-30k; the Abbasids were at 70k in like 890 in my latest game, and they were smaller than Italy, maybe 15-20 provinces max. They start pretty much at the same level as the Christian or Pagan nations (Umayyad at 10k, Abbasids at 3k) but balloon up super fast. Anyone noticed something similar?

On that note, does anyone know for a fact how CK2 decides which mod's files to load in case of a conflict? I used to run CK2Plus and nothing else so that wasn't an issue, but now I've got a lot more and I don't want to gently caress my game up. Say I want to run both a general scandinavia.mod and a more focused sweden.mod, so that if both include their version of the same file Sweden's version takes precedence. How would I ensure that? I search on the Paradox forums and some people say that earlier one in alphabetic order takes priority, others that the latter in alphabetic order takes priority  The only thing agreed upon is that if sweden.mod includes the dependencies = { "Scandinavia" } line then everything will work "right" as I described above regardless of mod names or order, but hardly any mods seem to actually do that - not even explicit submods.
