Playing as a Zoroastrian ruler has been a real boon to my eugenics program.  My brother and my daughter make such a cute couple.

I'd there a limit to how many times the Shia can pop up? I swear I just had the fith occurrence of "Shia Emerged". I'm assuming its happening because the current Sunni caliph owns a monster empire, and just keeps steamrolling them every time. However, I'm guessing the number of event troops they spawn with scales to the size of the Sunni caliph, because the last time they appeared they had over 200,000 troops materialize in a tiny backwater Russian province

I (as the king of Wales) had an illegitimate daughter with the wife of my uncle. I then married her off to my son. Half sister is far enough removed to not have extra retard babies right? they haven't yet!

If you're the guardian there're several events that can raise the diplomacy of either the ward or yourself. The event that gave my heir the "gregarious" trait, for example, also came with +2 base diplomacy in addition to the +2 from the trait. The daughter has 8 dip from traits, 9 from education, 5 from genius and 9 base, so she's got quite good, but not amazing base stats.

Do Zoroastrians not get the inbred trait?

I just scrolled over to Byzantium to see how they were doing, and found a bunch of independent dukes and no civil war. It seems the Byzantine Empire is always one snip away from vanishing. Did the Norse County Conquest CB change recently? I've been conquering Ireland and Iberia and it's always booted out all the nobles from the holdings and let me assign new ones. Now I took Uppland from Catholic Sweden and it got me the top-level holding but the nobles in the barony-level holdings remain. This leaves a catholic priest in charge of Uppsala which is a bit irritating. Also it won't let me use County Conquest against the pagans in Finland? I could swear it worked when I was consolidating Norrland waaaay back at the start of the game. (The independent part of Norrland starts with two Norse rulers and one Suomenusko.)

On another note, how do I form the Persian Empire in CK2+ as the Persian Zoroastrians? I have 3 kingdoms and 180 holdings, thought that would be enough but don't see the option anywhere.

Ok, I'm playing a new game as the Pretty Kingdom of Munster and also control the duchy of Leincaster. I was super fortunate that my starting king lived for 70 years because his heir ended up dying at age 21 so I needed to wait for my next born son to grow. Thankfully he has awesome stats from being raised right so it all worked out. Currently this king controls all of my provinces directly (5 of them) but I separated them into their respective duchies. Was this the correct decision or should I have the Kingdom of Munster rule over everything? Also another concern, since my first king lived forever he had like 5 sons and 3 daughters, some of them not even of age yet, do I have to give a poo poo about them at all or do I need to educate them etc. Argh I'm so confused.

Yeah it'll pop up an annoying warning for every child you need to educate. Duchies and subtitles are up to you and it depends on how powerful you like your vassals/how many counts you want to babysit/needing duchy-level titles to conquer vassals. Your vassals will also get mad at you for holding too many high-level titles. At your size and since you control them all directly, I wouldn't have created the duchies since it'll just be something for your vassals to get mad over later when you have to dole out that land, and also if you usurp other duchies you'll hit the duchy limit quicker chunkles fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Aug 13, 2013 |

The only one of any consequence is Ulster which he can just keep for himself, doling out Meath, Leinster and Connacht isnt going to create powerful and troublesome Dukes. And besides if hes that concerned about dukes just give the title to a bishop, boom problem solved forever. Shimrra Jamaane posted:Is there a way to undo a duchy title? You can destroy them but it costs you prestige and will make anyone that is a "dejure" part of that tiltle mad at you. So if you really want to get rid of them better to do it now while you hold the title. Shimrra Jamaane posted:Also another concern, since my first king lived forever he had like 5 sons and 3 daughters, some of them not even of age yet, do I have to give a poo poo about them at all or do I need to educate them etc. If you dont think there will be a situation where you will end up playing as them then you can just ignore them, someone will probably offer to educate them eventually. Although if you give them to a good teacher then they might get good skills which could make them useful on your counsel. Also if you need allies the AI will consider the persons skills when agreeing/not agreeing to marry. Another good use of siblings that are still children is to have them educated by vassals that have lower opinions of you since this will boost their opinion.

I don't know if this has popped up in this thread before or not but, is there a way to access the Characters menu that used to be in the game where the factions menu is now? I like to search out Ubermensch and invite them to my kingdom/find super-women to marry to courtiers and then teach my kids. Edit: VVV Thanks!

I think Zoroastrians don't tend get the inbred trait because most of the time you're not marrying full brother-sister combos. Its generally half-siblings across concubines, and that's before you take into account uncles/aunts.

Zoroastrians don't get inbred as often because they have the divine_blood flag Pdox originally added to help out the guys doing the GoT mod for the Targaryens. It vastly reduces the chance of getting the inbred trait, but makes lunacy more common.

Actually, it looks like that's changed a bit (lunacy is no more likely): pre: INBRED_DIVINE_BLOOD_TRAIT_CHANCE_FACTOR = 0.2, -- Inbreeding: Multiplier to the base chance
LUNATIC_DIVINE_BLOOD_TRAIT_CHANCE_FACTOR = 1.0, -- Inbreeding: Multiplier to the base chance
DIVINE_BLOOD_FERTILITY_MULT = 0.25 -- Fertility multiplier in a religious close kin marriage

I loaded up my Andalusian Capua (Now King of Denmark) game to do some fixing up so I could export it tomorrow (It's from a couple patches ago, I'm hoping there's nothing too wrong with it that I can't export), and I was looking around. Figured I'd see what republics were in, and there's a lot more than I thought. Mallorca, Tunis, The Navarrese Company... wait, what? I guess at some point somebody gave these mercenaries a merchant republic? I can't even fathom why. Anyway, because it was from a few patches ago, there were a few provinces that had been added in between my finishing and now, I was able to give them to people, but they have nothing in them, no holdings, no province religion and no province culture. Is there a way to add those? I'm looking in the save file, but it's pretty drat gigantic.

What probably happened is a republic hired them to defend against invaders but ran out of money, so the mercs retaliated with an invasion of there own and took over. I saw this in a game once with the Company of the Hat seizing Venice.

As the king of Ireland I married my sister off to the king of Scotland for an alliance. The motherfucker turns around and tries to press some random woman's weak claim on one of my duchies, and I manage to fight him off and kill him in battle. That causes Scotland to immediately explode into a succession crisis, and right after I force the new king to surrender the duchy claim, the rear end in a top hat has the gall to ask me to come to his defense in the succession crisis. Yeah, gently caress off. That's 100 prestige I will gladly pay. Fake edit: I also set my king's ambition to improve his Martial skill and I'm pretty sure he gained a few points by playing medieval Warhammer with the local teenagers. This game owns so hard.

So, after pressing a claim to Andalucia for my half-brother and winning, one of his new vassals with his own claim turned around, pressed his claim and won the war. Leaving me with a new, Muslim, Sultan of Andalucia (compared to my Norse) with most of Spain & Portugal and Morocco, Tunisia & Algeria to his name.  I managed to convert him  and he's since spent his time converting pretty much every single one of his vassals to Norse My main concern is that he has access to almost 70k troops and has gone to war with a still very strong Byzantine empire for Sicily and won without breaking a sweat. For now, we're best buds, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not a bit worried about what he could do.

Quick question - does ck2+ strip out some of the CBs for pagan rulers? I'm about 100 years into a Sweden/Svithjod game and I've not seen the coastal county or subjugation CBs pop up once.

I've seen it only once playing my CK2+ King of Karjala. I think it was one of the options when I had a independent county under my just-formed ducal crown's de jure territory. I thought "huh, that's new" and just pressed my ducal claim. Didn't want to take a chance and possibly waste that Conquest cooldown.

That's pretty nice, you can now mouse over a plot and the tooltip will tell you both the initial power and the potential power after inviting people. So if it's 100%> then you can just not bother instead of having to go through and check
