Rirse posted:Is there a way to get the game working without disabling CK+? Ever since the patch the game gets stuck on the "Loading flags.." title card. I would just wait for CK+ to updated, but the modder said it wont' be updated anymore. Came here to ask this, I just want to beat up some Muslims and stab some Nobles. Edit: So there's this CK2+ Continuation Mod over at Paradox Forums, which currently crashes when loading a save game: Some guy on Paradox forums posted:We should have an update out late tonight or tomorrow, depending on ease of fix for current issues. Some guy on Paradox forums posted:Unfortunately this fix comes with a bunch of other fixes and as such will make previous saves incompatible. I promise this will be the last time (for a while at least) that we do something save-breaking, but it's required in this case. beer_war fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Aug 18, 2013 |

Is there a simple mod that shows character ID's in the tooltip? I thought I had it at one point, but I think I've went and deleted it. Its a right pain in the arse rummaging through the save file to find it.

I can't seem to mod council jobs to allow females only for pagans under absolute cognatic succession.code:
Can any of you code-wizards lend me a hand here? Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any of the various 'girl power' mods to copy lines out of.

YorexTheMad posted:Any recommendations for a fun starting character in the Byzantine Empire, either vanilla or Old Gods start? I'd like to take a stab at reforming the Roman Empire. The Byzantine start in 867 is incredibly powerful. If you don't want to play the emperor himself I'd suggest playing a duke that is not landlocked so that you can use the holy war CB to take land, preferably someone on the Mediterranean or Adriatic coasts. Start forging claims on the Italian provinces right away since those will be the hardest to get.

Arcturas posted:When it comes to trying to change to primogeniture, is there any way other than going to max crown authority to stop your vassals from fighting? This is a really annoying thing about this game. When you build up a large domain there seems to come a point when there will always be internal wars going on somewhere. These wars also tend to go on for years or decades as the AI has no idea how to pick a fight or win it. If you want to change succession laws, do it while you are as small as possible and then live with that decision. You can't easily change laws in an empire if at all. As the byzantine empire I waited around for about 50 years for a peaceful moment to change to elective but never found one. I also tried assassinating the people starting the fights. Maybe you could revoke the titles of the people fighting, but that's hard to do without incurring a ton of tyranny penalty, even as the byzantine empire. If that frustrates you as much as it did me, just write allow_laws in the console. One method that I have not tried yet but which might be somewhat effective might be to not have any counts. If all dukes are in possession of all the counties in their duchy, then fewer fights would probably break out. They would also be more powerful of course, and I doubt it would be long before counties started getting exchanged, handed out, or inherited.

Playing as the republic of Amalfi and was using the "grant independance" followed by county claim CB to revoke mayor's titles and make cities my county seat instead of baronies. After doing this about 5 times however the "grant independence" option is no longer available and now I can only revoke titles. Is there a limit to the # of times you can grant independence?

Great map! Things you could try to do is to make certain names 'pop' while others recede, like adding a faint white outline to the more important areas, putting the royal domain's name in red (or whatever color is associated with your KoJ), changing the opacity on the less important places so that they are less visible (but not annoyingly so). All sorts of stuff, really! Look at real-life maps and check out poo poo over at cartographersguild.com. Amateur cartography is me #2 hobby; paradox really are enablers.

having some bug problems: firstly, many options, such as ambitions, plots, and honorary titles will show up multiple times (kill wife twice, name cupbearer twice- the icon for having a son that pops up when you click on ambition occurs twice, which makes the menu twice as long since all are duplicated). also, speeding up time passing crashes the game to desktop, and after less than a month a blank event will pop up- a picture, but no text or options to dismiss it, so it essentially stops me playing the game. any ideas? i've never modded the game or anything, but i'm coming back to it after a bit of a hiatus (last DLC i bought was sword of islam). are there any kind souls who can offer me some advice?

Especially irritating are the wars that counts without any money to hire mercenaries and extremely small levies start, they obviously have no chance of winning these wars but yet they start them and the continue on in perpetuity until there is a white peace sometimes decades afterwards.

Kainser posted:You can't grant independence to De Jure vassals. What exactly constitutes a De Jure vassal? Now that I think about it I believe the people I granted independence to and reclaimed were Orthodox and I was Catholic, is that what allowed me to do it or am I missing another mechanic here? I should note that I have no other titles besides being the Doge of Amalfi and the counties themselves.

Both are just for +10 relationship, but the second guy has brave for another +10, and strong for yet another +10. The first guy has attractive which is +5 with female and gay male vassals, but the same people are also attracted to strong so the strong trait is just better. And I can't remember if you get another +5 for gregarious, but the second guy is just much better.

As a Norse he should be picking the most person as his heir, that this person also has better diplomacy and traits is just a fringe bonus.

Baron Porkface posted:Is there a way that's less risky than assassination? As a Muslim you are allowed to imprison any male family member that isnt your son for no reason at all, you wont generate any tyranny. They wont generate decadence in prison but if you're feeling bloodthirsty I think you are also allowed to execute them for o penalty as well. Actually their parents will get pissed off but his father should already be in prison anyway.

I always thought this was kind of weird, I'm no stickler for historical accuracy but the way you're meant to handle decadence always seemed bizarre to me. It was an easy thing to manage when you knew how but the implementation seems dumb: you're basically imprisoning your brothers in case they gently caress some whores in the future. It's like a medieval minority report. I wonder what historical basis they had for this kind of gameplay.

Yeah imprisoning male relatives was really only a Turkish thing, so it's pretty silly to have it for every Muslim. I'd definitely play as a Muslim more if Paradox added more succession laws for them and got rid of the annoying as poo poo decadence mechanic.

Someone gifted me a copy of this game a few days ago, after a couple of really rough starts I'm having a lot of fun with it. Got steamrolled trying to play a couple of eastern european princes and badly managed the inheritances, so I started over as a petty king in Ireland. Within the first king's reign I managed to establish and unify the kingdom of Ireland and repel the Norman invasion of England with a quadruple alliance of Ireland, Norway, England and the HRE. Got two of my nephews onto the thrones of Galicia and Leon and married my son to an English princess shortly before the first king, Murchad the Careless, died at age 82. Second king consolidated his hold over Ireland pretty well, with the exception of a fairly uppity duke of Leinster. That dude forced an elective law change with his faction, but with my close family members holding all the other duchies, he's kinda poo poo outta luck and ended up changing his vote for himself to a vote for my heir. Near the final years of King Brian the Wise, I noticed that I had a weak claim on the entire kingdom of England that could be pressed on behalf of my wife. England was a broken mess of warring duchies, rebel factions, and had a son of Castile holding the throne... what the hell. It was very, very close, but I managed to take over England and earn a surrender of the whole kingdom about a month before my king died. My heir got Ireland with his mom owning England around 1130 CE. England immediately shattered again into a five-way civil war, but with my alliances in Denmark and the HRE, the Irish/English/Danish/HRE hellstack beat them all down. In the midst of this, I managed to marry my son to the heiress of the Kingdom of Scotland. He is set to inherit Ireland, England, and Scotland all in one swoop. As soon as the civil war was suppressed in England, Norway broke the alliance and invaded, somehow taking out the queen's whole army. Denmark won't respond, there are 11.5k Norwegian troops sitting on top of London, and I can muster just slightly less than that. Irish coffers are at 180 gold after the decade of war securing England for my dynasty. It miiiiiiight work. Dr. Cogwerks fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Aug 19, 2013 |

Just in general it'd be nice to see the AI not actively be as stupid as they can about playing. And maybe a way to affect how often peasants revolt, it's really tiresome to have what feels like three a month. It's probably closer to three-five a year, but still. Also, I think I found the logical extreme of ruler interbreeding:

So I don't know about the religious stuff much, playing a Zoroastrian and got some rear end in a top hat Manchurian heresy spreading around that I can't figure out how to get rid of. Does proselytizing work for heresies to convert the counties back? Had a dude on that for years it seemed like and nothing. Or is that something you have to reform the religion for first? The Muslim rear end in a top hat controlling most of Persia has like twice my troops and refuses to die of old age, seems like I'll have to pray for assassinations then double-pray that his succession is all hosed up.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tempting to get the virgin-born patriarch of the House of Connacht onto the imperial throne somehow, though maybe I'll settle for designating him King of Ireland one day or something. I'd be worried about a game over actively getting another dynasty onto my main title.
