So the Cathars can have female bishops, and heresies can supplant their parent religion, could this mean we might possibly get She-popes?

Also, I love the reworking of the holy orders, particularly one delicious potential gently caress You to the player. "Hey, buddy! You like God, right? How about doing us a solid and letting your son join us in the good fight? No, not the drunkard, the other one, y'know, the genius Grey Eminence you've been grooming as your heir for the last two decades."

Huh, monks and nuns! Finally, you can follow through on your threat to send someone off to take the vows.

It might be kind of neat if sending someone off to become a monk/nun was weaker (downgrades claim strength one level?) or more temporary (lasts 10 years, or life of current ruler?) for orthodox rulers. From my memory of Byzantine history (and old Harry Turtledove novels), people 'gotten rid of' by sending them to a monastery had a nasty tendency to pop back up again... that's not critical, though.

Eh the Cathars weren't really into the whole centralised church authority thing, if I remember right they didn't have any perfecti more senior than bishops. So a Cathar pope doesnt make much sense.

Goddamn, this is going to be a good expansion. Everything announced about it so far sounds really exciting. The fact that Holy Orders are now more than just fancy mercs is probably my favorite so far, making them a faction in their own right will go a long way towards making Crusades a lot cooler and more dynamic.

I still wish decadence would be changed somewhat, as it is it's way too apocalyptic to the players/pointless to the AI.

I hope they do something to restrict one person hiring multiple holy orders. Along with decadence making it hard to play a Muslim, I find it impossible to deal with any christian hiring all three orders any time I declare war on them.

Idea for reworked decadence: what if high decadence caused a prestige reduction on all vassals, and family vassals had the ability to start a "reduce decadence" faction. A "reduce decadence" civil war would result in the faction leader becoming the new liege, and he would found a new royal house, which all the faction members would switch to (assuming they were of the old ruling dynasty).

I have the 0.7 version, but I'm pretty sure it's not the latest one (my CK2 is frozen to 1.103 until I finish the current game, after which I will want to update though). The files in it are from the end of June.

In game mechanics it should work though. Heresies can supplant the "vanilla" version of the religion.

What's the difference between later versions, anyways? I still have v.0.5, and all it does it make the borders look a little neater and works just fine with current CK2+ and all that.

From the sound of it, it's not that Cathar would somehow become the true Catholic church, but some kind of tag switching would occur where Cathar becomes tagged as "true faith" and Catholicism becomes tagged as "heresy". So if the Cathar heresy has no religious head, then the Cathar true faith shouldn't either.

It'd also be cool if your family decided to join a monastery/convent on their own, a la Thomas Aquinas, and you'd have to decide whether to let them go or force them to stay.

Mercenaries are restricted based on your capital's location, while holy orders currently are not. I would imagine that, with the emphasis on holy orders being localized, that they will also get mercenary-style limitations on hiring.

You can change the capital from one type to another, like Castle to City.

Can't swap same type, though.

If you hold the county capital, I think giving it to any of the other barons in the county makes their holding the new capital. This is how you get Grand Cities and Bishoprics.

Grant the county level title to the owner of the barony, bishopric or town you want to be the new capital.

The latest version was 0.7 and it changed the checksum (no idea why). Here is a link to the last version that works fine and does not alter the checksum, 0.6 Beta:

Well, thanks. Changing the checksum isn't a problem for me in CK2 since there's no ironman/achievements yet. Here's v0.7 in case anyone needs it:

If the problem is that it's your county and the capital is the wrong holding type, revoke a barony (castle), which should automatically become the new capital once you hold it personally.

Alternately, if you hold the county title, grant it to a baron in that county. He will designate his castle as the new capital for you.

I wonder if there are any mods for CK2 that make the mongol invasion basically work more like subjugation than the invasion cb, so that they basically end up with huge empires that still have the native lords for the most part.

Haha I never had an event like this come up, pretty cool that they actually accounted for a scenario like this.
Basically I ransomed the prisoner but it seems at some point between when I demanded the ransom and he agreed the event where your prisoner complains about conditions fired off but it wasnt brought to my attention until after I freed him. Well that or the guy is just senile.

Oh and I think the Muslims got the better end of the deal in the peace negotiations.

Save your game, quit, reload your game, choose the head of the merchant republic as your new character to play. There's also a console command to switch rulers on the fly, although I don't recall what it is.

This works any time you want to change your current active character.
