SpRahl posted:Dublin starts with Norwegian culture (Norse culture in the Old Gods start date). High stewardship helps spread culture but either way it is a very slow process. I wouldnt worry to much Counties with a different religion are worse than those with a different culture. And having foriegners on your council will not affect culture in your Counties. In this case it'd have to be my king with a high Stewardship, right? Even if I could, I don't think I want to give away my capital to someone else.

How often do the expansions tend to go on sale? I stopped playing right before The Old Gods came out so it's the only expansion I didn't buy right away. \/ Thanks! SurgicalOntologist fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Oct 26, 2013 |

Fairly often, using this chart it goes on sale during most of the big sale periods, and the last one was three months ago: http://www.steamprices.com/us/app/203770/crusader-kings-ii (this is the base game but usually all of the DLC goes on sale with it)

Culture change has a little bit of nuance to it. Say you take four or five provinces and you wish to flip them. It's actually better to give each county to a middling steward than it is for a genius steward to hold them all. The event fires for the character so five characters means it's much more likely to fire. Of course this is totally useless in your case but I thought I'd chime in.

computer parts posted:I haven't read much on imperial China but playing ~1600s China would be equivalent to the Game of Thrones mod where you can own essentially all of the map. This is a problem in CK2 already - it really needs to be harder to keep a huge empire together, at least for a human. I mean, Ming taking over Eurasia would be bad but that's pretty much what happens with any human-controlled kingdom too, provided you're not roleplaying too hard. edit: To be fair, I haven't actually fired up CK2 in a few months; maybe giant empires are harder to hold in vanilla than in older versions? It felt to me like once you'd gotten an imperial title and put succession in order you could pretty easily maintain hegemony.

For extra points, banishment doesn't cause an opinion malus, and since they're no longer a title claimant (or at least a claimant to one less title) they may like you enough to accept an invite to your court immediately after

So hey, does anybody know if it's possible to mod the UI such that the character sheet can show anybody with the "Friends" tag, or anybody with high opinions? That was one of my favourite features of CK1, because it made it so much easier to see at a glance whose back I should be scratching, and who I could rely on as a future vassal. I know there are already ways of finding people with high relations in-game, but they're all rather roundabout, particularly if I want to find friends of friends. I'd love to be able to see those right on any character's sheet. There's already a "Lovers" section on the sheet, so presumably the UI can account of such things?

This is already in the game, but stupidly hidden away. Right click on a character's portrait, then right click on the little head icon, then click on character relations. It will bring up the character finder showing the opinions of everyone towards them.

So in my Erik the Heathen game the HRE is probably going to be battering down my door pretty soon. Is there anything I can do besides  (everyone loves the Emperor and Im a dirty Pagan) that I can do to destabilize them or stop them? I had a small Catholic buffer State between us unfortunately the Duke of Saxony somehow managed to finagle a claim on the county which bordered me.

So. Let's see what my vassals are up to lately. Defeating the Pope in a prepared invasion for Italy... ...ok. That's pretty cool. Wait, what's with the mask?  Oh, that's right. He's the Mande Jarl of Lancaster. How could I forget? EDIT Have they ever made it so the Pope's culture is based off of where the Pope is actually elected? Or do they just keep him as Italian forever, even if he gets deposed to somewhere in Germany?

EDIT ^^ drat it. Well, maybe the college of Cardinals will fix this dumbassery. In the game I just posted a couple of screenshots to above, the Karlings wiped themselves out of relevance, by forming the Holy Roman Empire, establishing Elective Succession, and somehow electing a Wilhelmiden who switched to Primogeniture. Good job, Karlings.

I've never seen them actually form the HRE, even when it was well within their means. it's a shame, the OGs start in general just really highlights the weaknesses in CK2's diplomacy/alliance mechanics. All of Christendom should not be joining for a transcontinental defense of Mercia in the 880s. e: my favorite game was the one where the Norse somehow reformed of their own accord and converted Europe; the Karlings still somehow managed to worm their way onto the thrones of Norway, Sweden, and England.

Man gently caress that, the Karlings sure make Europe pretty interesting. Every Old Gods game ends up totally different. Although if your complaint is that they are all allied with each other, they could do what they did with the Sons of Lodbrok. They all start allied with each other but each have their own unique house so once the initial brothers die off unless there are new marriages the alliances die with them.

I personally don't have a big problem with the Karlings, but I can easily see how it can gently caress up someone's game rather quickly. I don't know how many times I've had to stop whatever I was doing and divert all of my attention to stabbing the one of the Karlings so they don't form a giant Francia/HRE/Byzantine-super empire.

The sad thing is, apart from the north of West Francia (controlled by East Francia), all those ugly rear end borders are the current peacetime borders. Highlight so far: -Wessex slowly dominating the south of England, with Jorvick slowly consolidating its hold on the land between Scotland and Wessex. -Munster grabbing 6 counties, only for Scotland to nab the northern 7. -West Francia being apart of East Francia for almost sixty years now (a damned Karling toddler inherited both kingdoms and sat on the throne for those sixty years and became an incredible king). -Iberia enlarging an shrinking at a pace of once every five decades -Navarra inheriting all of the Kingdom of Brittany, then proceeding to lose all it's Iberian holdings, then losing Brittany since they don't let girls inherent (now Wessex owns Brittany). -The Romanov Kingdom of Lithuanian is doing well. Its a major player in the Baltic -Greater Moravia fracturing on day 3, staying split for drat near 70 years, then uniting under a super Bohemia king who then proceeded to take most of Silesia and then all of Nytria. -The Mygar invasion failed, so Bulgaria is on top form. -The Khazar's took what was left of the Mygars land beyond Bulgaria and have slowly established a nice Jewish kingdom, saldy lost a province to Georgia (also will likely die when the Mongols come  ).-Georgia is a powerhouse right now. -Shi'ia comes and goes every eight or nine years. -A Norse adventurer conquered land in Egypt and made the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem And now it's just hit year 1000, so I have another four hundred years to go

So, CK2+ has both Gaelic paganism and Brythonic. For some reason they are counted as the same when making new vassals, but still cause religious differences. What the hell is going on there? (I suppose I should ask this on the Paradox forums but you know how that place is...)
