 It will probably be cheaper when it almost certainly goes up as a daily That said, Sons of Abraham and the other new DLC isn't on sale. I expected as much, but still!

I let the game run in observer mode for a while and some really strange things happened. Not sure what happened here: Byzantine Empire turned Sunni trade republic: The Caliph somehow turned Ecumenical Patriarch: The Patriarch is back, now as a Catalan duke of Barcelona: I didn't know the Knights could have a succession crisis:

I'm trying to think through the implications of this, because gently caress me if Paradox will have... Fake Edit: Gavelkind is obviously going to wreck it, unless counties in those regions don't start with gavelkind. She's got to be getting the mother of all demense size penalties, but if you're just a count, with no vassals but barons, that might be a non-issue. And with her being a deceitful, arbitrary, greedy woman, yeah, all of her vassals must hate the poo poo out of her. So she's totally hosed if anybody wants to carve out some of her holdings. But goddamn, think of the claims her children are going to get. That's gonna be a clusterfuck for the next century.

She created a single duchy after a couple of years and it was primogeniture for some reason. She only kept 2 counties when creating the duchy so there were a lot of claim-less autogenerated people so it's actually extremely stable.

Does the Ecuminical Patriarch own ALL of Barcelona? It looks that way. Can you check and see if it's de jure drifting into his demesne? I'm curious to see if that's even possible.

Giving a second shot of my run, had a promising start, then some douchebag with a 1K stack shows up. I figure "Hey, no problem, I can manage three to one odds with some mercs..." My levy just /Bounces/ off of it, despite me having more generals, each of a higher rank then the other stack. Not really sure what happened there. They had a slight terrain advantage, but it shouldn't have been that loving decisive given the numbers and general quality I threw at it. A five percent combat advantage probably shouldn't equate to crushing the other side and killing most of their dudes when you're outnumbered that badly.

It's a king level title, though, like the Papacy, as opposed to the ducal level titles of the pagan religions, Miaphysites, and the two branches of Islam. The pope can and DOES get de jure drift. I've had a game where the Pope owned most of what's normally Andalusia.

They're good songs, and they aren't a bad price at all. Keep in mind though that most of them have requirements in order to play normally, so I personally just throw all the game's music into a folder and put them on a playlist.

Has there been a good Zoroastrian strategy guide made anywhere? I can consolidate my power pretty well at the start, swearing fealty to the Muslims to the east, gobbling them up from the inside, independence faction once I've got all the provinces not directly owned by the Shah of Khiva, usurp the title, take the rest by force. Then I managed to Holy War for Birjand when the Saffarids had a big civil war. Then I lost Birjand and stand to lose far more because the Saffarids and other assorted Muslims pounce on me the instant I have any internal strife, since the Holy War casus belli means they've constantly got a bullet with my name on it.

Like you said, pledge to the big dudes. Have some kids and create some courtiers. Invite/marry to get as many Zoroastrians in your court as you can. Convert yourself to Islam after your kids are born and keep raising your kids as Zoroastrians with Zoroastrian tutors and Zoroastrian wives. This also allows you to have multiple wives, and have more kids, they'll also be born Muslim but most should convert if you have enough tutors of the proper faith. Once you've got a strong enough country from within Persia, take it over as a Muslim. Imprison and take over everyone who is difficult in terms of attributes, zealous people, ambitious people, gather as many titles to yourself as you can before you die, then when your Zoroastrian kid inherits, pass out the titles to courtiers/family members, bribe anyone you can who will convert. You're set! My most successful Zoroastrian game I also set up a Zoroastrian steppe kingdom to the north in Cumania. They expanded on their own all the way into Perm and Russia. You want to set up another Zoroastrian kingdom or two just to have someone for alliances and such, it's more fun if you're not the only one.

I just turned back the Aztecs without losing a county (unfortunately, it looks like another, less awesome country might lose a few). It took pretty much all of my resources, but I was able to grind down their stacks and outmaneuver them into a bunch of losing situations. I kept going into debt, but I pulled out. Not a week later, my emperor dies at the ripe old age of 78, having lived to see the terrifying menace from beyond the sea put in its rightful place.

It somehow never occurred to me that the conversion would only be temporary. Thanks for the advice!
