Yes, I was under the impression that Norse can only be Gavelkind. Also Agnatic-Cognatic obviously.

The Byzantine Emperor is reduced to being a baron of some castle in Germany, his only vassal is the captain of the Varangian Guard, who is still Norse in 1350. I'm imagining this as the setup to a buddy comedy.

Just out of curiosity because I just got interested in CK2 recently, what is the deal with Muhammad and its portrait? Why adding a portrait for him would be offensive? Or did I misunderstood?

Or did I misunderstood? Islam forbids icons of religious figures, especially prophets, and Paradox didn't want to offend Muslims. Signifying him with a calligraphic symbol is acceptable.

Interested to see what the big reveal is going to be today. There's so much speculation that I don't even want to guess what it might be. I am pretty sure it won't be another timeline expansion though and I'm fine with that, would rather have more intricacies put into the current game times.

So Europe is kind of messed up in my game: Started in 1066 and it's 1156 now. They're all independent, France is hosed and the HRE is dead. Additionally, Erik the Heathen won in Sweden and his dynasty still reigns, although they're Catholic now.

e; /\/\/\ Wait, does nobody have the HRE title? Can empires just disintegrate like that? Is the Empire of Britannia in the patched base game? I don't have any of the expansions and I have the king titles in Ireland, Wales, and England. Do I need to have all 4 before I can form the Empire? Also, how do I get the last few dukes in England under my domain? There's 3 independent dukes (one the king I usurped) and I can only go to war to pick off one of their counties. Is there not a CB to make them my vassal?

Do I need to have all 4 before I can form the Empire? Yeah it is. If you go to the title page for the Kingdom of England, click de jure in the top right, then it'll give you a link to Britannia just above the de jure checkbox. Click that and hover over create, the tooltip will tell you what you need. If memory serves it's 80% of the de jure lands and two kingdom-level titles. quote:Also, how do I get the last few dukes in England under my domain? There's 3 independent dukes (one the king I usurped) and I can only go to war to pick off one of their counties. Is there not a CB to make them my vassal? If you're the same culture as them and they like you, go to the diplomacy screen and offer vassalisation and they may join you peacefully because you're their de jure liege. If they won't do that, find a claimant to their duchy, invite them to your court, then press their claim -- as the duchy is part of your de jure lands, they will automatically become a vassal of yours upon winning the war.

I'm still fairly new at this but I'm starting to get the hang of this, I think. I've got all of Ireland and bits of Wales and a county in Scotland that a vassal helpfully grabbed, but I've been dogged by rulers with fairly short reigns and few children. I've run out of de jure claims so I've been trying to fabricate, but my chancellor has been rather slow. Everyone talks about being able to maneuver relatives onto thrones via marriage, is there a good tutorial on that? I'm dealing with a rather large England that I'm not sure I could take in a fight anyway, I'll either need to break them up by stabbing my way to a weak English king, or insert myself into some ducal inheritances.

Doing my first game in Old Gods as the Hammer Dynasty because what's more metal than that? Ended up being a super loyal raider dude to the guy you start under, then he formed Denmark and made me his military adviser since I'm such an awesome viking raider. My guy died pretty early and his daughter took over. She continued viking raiding then the king of Denmark died with everyone hating him. Decided that it'd be a good time to form a kingdom then and did that, only to realize he had a good third of England as well. Again, end up just raiding stuff and decide to reform Norse on my third character. Not much problem since raiding is insanely overpowered (seriously I should not be able to sack Rome, most of the Levant and Constantinople in one round while also leaving Constantinople after that in a constant state of civil war). Until I realized in the midst of that, the woman who led that round of raiding was... I guess Christians had it wrong... Jesus was a totally awesome Norse viking.

Also no I don't think it checks if they're actually Christian. It should probably give negative modifiers to non-christians as Jesus deliberately gives them bad advice so that they lose.

Hey, the preview steam is up if anyone is interested. Sons of Abraham confirmed, with College of Cardinals featured so far. I'm kind of glad that isn't a Dark Ages mod, really. e: Ray and Shirley posted:This actually looks pretty lackluster. College of Cardinals and pilgrimages look interesting, but no saints, no changes to crusades, and nothing so far for Muslims. I'll hold out for the next few dev diaries. Did I end up on the Paradox forums accidentally? Should I be constantly clamoring for new features in the middle of previews to fit in? e2: Okay, I've got a complaint/suggestion: Iconoclast and Iconodule should be traits like with the new Muslim theological schools.

Cardinals should really have a red filigree around them; no idea why Paradox is resistant to this idea. Edit: This actually looks pretty lackluster.

This actually sounds better than a straight-up theocracy DLC and with any luck, they'll also be revisiting the decadence mechanic for Muslims.

Dev Diary: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/content.php?1624-Crusader-Kings-II-Sons-of-Abraham-Dev-Diary-1-The-College-of-Cardinalsquote:It's finally time to announce the next expansion for Crusader Kings II! You might already know the name: "Sons of Abraham". Some of you were very close in your guesses on what it might be. No, it's not a Zombie DLC! Sons of Abraham focuses on the three Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The idea was to go back to the roots after all the attention given to the heathens, and to flesh out the religious side of the game for the monotheists; Christians in particular.

SpRahl posted:Confirmed cant play as Pope. I'm not even sure how playing as Pope could work with the CKII system, seeing as popes are generally lowborn and have no children. You'd have to put in a flag or something that playing as the pope turns the game into EU-style where you are whoever holds the title. And that would be a mess if your normal-game character managed to become Pope (probably not impossible for a Prince-Bishop).

Well if they let you play theocracies I don't see why letting you be the Pope for a bit would be that hard. When you die you take over your character's old bishopric using whatever succession mechanics they would use for theocracies and some other guy becomes Pope.
