Is that just owning all counties in a territory or does it have to de jure drift? You just need to have all the holdings in your realm. No dejure drift. It's incredibly unlikely since the empire of the Greeks has no claims on a lot of that land and they are usually plagued by infighting.

They don't have to have drifted into your de jure kingdom/empire. I won't say that the AI cannot restore the Roman Empire, but I've never seen it manage the task without help.

 I just caught my wife having a passionate love affair with...herself?  Either she's a enormous narcissist, or my homosexual count is having a massive bout of insecurity (considering I had her "lover" arrestted for kissing her brazenly in public...mirror?)

This game brings out the worst in me. As the King of Strathclyde (Ireland plus the Isles and Galloway) I married my daughter and heir to a prince of Navarra, who was not supposed to inherit the crown. Well of course he did because Navarra is apparently elective and suddenly my two grandsons are being tutored by Basque cultured courtiers, which simply would not do. A decade later my king dies and I rush to tutor the two eldest sons under my queen to covert them back to Welsh. The first son doesn't take and gets terrible stats, so I had no choice but to kill him. The second son becomes Welsh and has decent stats, but a terrible wife and won't accept an invitation back to Strathclyde because I wouldn't be able to press his claim. I resort to killing my husband to get my son back, and then I end up killing his wife and marry him to a respectable princess. I'm not evil I swear  .

Apparently some areas are so barren that they can't sustain anywhere near the amount of troops it would take to siege a holding. I wanted to create the kingdom so I reloaded and shipped my 107k doomstack right into Finland. Assault after assault happened until I had my eight counties occupied. Britain ended with 83k troops left, but they had done it. They conquered... the Duchy of Finland. Two little counties showed up. The county next door still has a CB for "Holy War on Finland". gently caress. Lesson learned: Crusades are awesome, Holy Wars are lengthy and painful.

Is there any way to start a shattered world game at the old gods start date? I think someone uploaded a save that worked like shattered world, but it was for an older version of CK+ Edit: apparently starting as a norse pagan doesn't make the people in my court pagan, and since I'm not reformed I can't convert people :/ Sistergodiva fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Sep 18, 2013 |

Just set the number of generated characters to the max 2000 and it'll be functionally the same as Shattered World, just lacking the easter egg characters and such. It works with pretty much any mod, I believe.

You don't even need to do that anymore, the guy who made it is awesome and added loads of options so you can create Shattered World scenarios (even whether they're shattered down to county, duchy, kingdom or emperor level) out of the box.

Incidentally, is it just me or does a Shattered World scenario actually feel easier to anyone else? Be the first one to make a Kingdom and you've basically won the game. You get every count of your religion and culture as your vassal instantly and are then 10x as powerful as anyone else. Since the majority of the world is still going to be one or two province minors for the most part you can just steamroll everything at the same time.

Yes, it's trivially easy compared because the AI doesn't know how to expand at anywhere near the same rate. You can make it slightly slower if you start as a Catholic only near other Catholics so you don't get any special CBs... but yeah, it's still just really easy. Shattered dukes is a lot more interesting because the AI can at least attempt to hold their own but it still has the same issues.

Yeah, if I want a random game I use the Title Generator to generate a game with ~60 realms, which gives a nice mix of decent sized kingdoms and minor powers. I'll usually generate four or five and pick one that looks fun.

Have a great game with The Prince And The Thane mod going at the moment but I'd like some help. I took Andyamo from the ruler of the Eesti to the King of Livonia and I'm trying to set up my children with the dukedoms I can't hold. Everything is going fine until the stupid idiots decide to divide up their realms. It's only three loving provinces they should be good to go. Anyway I can prevent this from happening? And If I institute Primogeniture in my kingdom does it apply to my dukes also? I've always been a EU3 man but this game is blowing me away. EU4 in it's current state is just so barren and so lacking in charm in comparison to CK2. I understand that the mod may change some of these answers but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Wow, playing as the Byzantines in 876 is super easy mode. I'm still on my first monarch and its been so simple just to pick apart all of the little independent duchies all over southern Italy, Sicily, Anatolia, and the islands in the Mediterranean. Having claims for absolutely everything around you makes conquering so simple.

It's perfectly possible to create the Caliphate if you aren't a Sayyid/Mirza, though: 1000 piety plus either control of Mecca and Medina, or Jerusalem, Damascus and Baghdad. Likelihood is yours happened from a decadence revolt though, which autmoatically gives it to the winner. And in real life, the Umayyads have a caliphate, but I don't think they were sayyids.

Fabricate Claims just has a piss-poor chance of actually working. Like converting a province, it's just so unlikely to actually happen, even with a high score in the relevant attribute, that it can easily take decades. Hover over the "Fabricate Claims" button to see the chance of it firing in any given year; even with 20+ diplomacy, it's probably something in the range of 8-15%.

Yeah, even with a really great chancellor, fabricating claims (and proselytizing, for that matter) is pretty drat luck based. It can take a decade, or a matter of months, it's all just a roll of the dice. From personal experience, I have a suspicion that fabricating claims gets a secret under-the-hood bonus when you're an OPM, or you only have a couple holdings. It always seems to be much more effective early when it's your only option, but becomes less effective once you can't rely on it.

Bad luck probably, although it could be possible that something else is going on via your total size/chancellors traits. For example: I had a 23 diplomacy superstar who spent his 20 year career trying to forge claims in Brittany, never produced anything. After he died I had to replace him with a 10 diplomacy chancellor from the dredges of my vassals. Within one year this no talent dweeb had successfully forged a claim. Perhaps your chancellor is too qualified . He's trying hard to come up with legit claims, when instead you need a barely literate lackey to scribble 'he's da real king <picture of your ruler>' in crayon on the side of a barn.

You jest, but I remember rejecting claims made by my Chancellors since they were Duchy claims and thus too expensive for me to use. No duder, it's cool, just give me claims on the county since I can usurp the duchy later.

Fabricating Claims is really good if you don't press them immediately. Basically, on a young ruler, having some claims fabricated lets you use the magic "Press all claims" button that so rarely appears. It's nice being able to take several counties (or a duchy and some counties!) at once without having to wage a holy war and thus fight all of Catholicism.

Captain Beans posted:Bad luck probably, although it could be possible that something else is going on via your total size/chancellors traits. Your chancellor can be bribed not to succeed by an event that the county owner gets for a particular county for a span of several years, if I remember right. You can do it to the AI, too, if you catch the chancellor but don't kill him. If you ever run into a situation where a superstar chancellor isn't forging a claim on a particular county, switch him to a different one owned by a different guy because there's a good chance he's on the take. If you were switching him around within Brittany then, well, horrible luck I guess. VV If you have a high-skill chancellor, he'll occasionally offer you the duchy title if it's in existence and owned by the guy you're fabricating claims on (ie. the duke, not one of his counts). It's more trouble than it's worth most of the time, as it's more expensive than usurping it normally, carries a prestige malus instead of bonus, and if you don't have county claims you end up with one pissed-off vassal since the original holder of the duchy keeps his counties.

Nuclear War posted:Wait. How do i fabricate duchy claims? Highly-skilled Chancellors get a chance to fabricate Duchy claims instead of County claims.

Since we were talking about the DNA string and inbreeding the other day, just went and tested it. Started as the Petty King of Munster, married an Armenian girl, saved the game and edited it so they have the same DNA, went back in and used the console to pop out 8 kids quickly: not one of them has the inbred trait. So it's purely used to decide the portrait, I guess? e: Followup, here's a weird thing: if you have a kid with your bastard daughter, your kids won't be inbred  so you have to be of the same dynasty for it to happen, I guess? But closer relationships within that dynasty make it more likely, obviously.

I'll test some more just to check but I'm pretty sure. Also as I'm doing it through console commmands that may be making things weird, not to mention it's possible things may have changed (I know they changed how bastards get their dynasty in the last patch, for example). e: okay yeah I just got lucky, did it again where I had a bastard child, had 5 kids with her and this time the last two were both inbred. Huh. Then married one of those kids (who was of my dynasty, and had me) and had another 5 kids, another two were inbred jesus christ I need to stop doing & posting about this I feel icky
