Inside Outside posted:What exactly does this mod do? Could I use it to start a game as a merchant republic as, say, the Isle of Mann? It's not a mod per se, it's a program that makes a titular title mod for you -- it takes the base titles in the game, and creates titular versions of them at the levels above. So for each duchy it creates kingdom and empire titles based on them, and you can set it to create duchies/kingdoms/empire for every single county in the game (although it's a bit overkill v  v). You can use it to create, say, the Norman or Irish empire, or whatever.It wouldn't make it any easier to do that specifically, no, unless you wanted to use a titular, fictional duchy of the Isle of Mann for it instead of using the default duchy of The Isles.

With that program I could have defined a single custom kingdom with Croatia and Hungary as its de jure land?

No, a titular title means no de jure land. You could make a titular kingdom of Rashka, for example. It's sort of pointless if you have the custom title DLC, except that perhaps the AI will form some of those titles. And the fact that you can form multiple titles.

I never bought the custom title DLC, and am now intrigued. What will it let me do, exactly? Just rename existing titles in game, like changing the empire of Abyssinia to the empire of Ethiopia? Or does it allow wackier stuff like creating new empire or kingdom titles? Also, any idea how it works with the EUIV converter? And in that subject, I've only played CK2 vanilla but I heard that the VIET mod has it's own EUIV converter. Anyone have any experience with that? Will it work with non VIET games? Any advantage over the regular converter?

Does not let you create any new titles. I don't actually know how it works with the converter, though.

Assuming 'Strange' in Elder Kings means Secret Vampire, it's way, way too common. Half of Tamriel seems to have become vampires. All my children are vampires, and they keep trying to vampire me! My wife is a vampire! My neighbors are vampires, their neighbors are vampires, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Akatosh himself was a vampire. It's a vampire party, and I'm the only one horrified by it!

So I started a new game (Old Gods start) as Rurik. He lived to be 89, outlived his son, amassed a poo poo pot of money, and formed the Kingdom of Rus within a decade of the start. Has this start always been this easy? Then his grandson inherited and independance wars for everyone!. And I do mean everyone, as my kingdom seems to be the only one not imploding. Though it is not for lack of revolts, I just crush them but goddamn was Rurik a prolific bastard with 7 children and about 3 dozen grand kids.

Either way, I feel like starting a Viking game soon, I bought Old Gods a while back and I still haven't played a Pagan game  e: Going back to Pope talk, I just found I CAN make him a leader of my troops, but it took a while for his name to pop up. Do certain vassals only lead a specific type of army or group? I found my Pope on the list of a flank on my fourth stack of retinues and it was weird cause I tried to make him lead my main army. hellsjudge fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Dec 24, 2013 |

I'm all patched up to the 2.0.1 with CK2+, but I haven't bought SoA yet. I know y'all aren't nuts about it, but if I unlock that DLC, would I still be able to continue my awesome Visigothic conquest or would I have to start over? I'm kind of interested in the catholic mechanics they've added in, even though it probably wouldn't have an effect; someone conquered Rome and turned it into a trading republic.

A few quick questions: 1) Is there any way to suggest a crusade to the Pope with SoA? 2) I've borrowed money from the Templars but there is no decision to pay it back? I'd like to. How would I do this? Donating just has the usual effects. 3) Theres a casus belli on the wiki for 'Install Antiking'. What does this mean? I've never seen it in-game. 4) I expelled the Jews with one of my old kings. I now want to welcome them back. How do I do this?

It removes the antipope and makes the king either abdicate or just give his title to you outright (don't know which) 4) Wait until a decision pops up in the intrigue menu

I'm guessing the benefits of vassalizing the pope are what you'd assume, ie a bunch of tax money and a guaranteed "yes" on money/divorce/excommunication requests. Is there something else you get as well?

 The Roman Empire will expand no further, at least in this game. That was certainly fun, even it started to take forever to administrate this thing by the end. Things I would do differently now that i've played a bit. Make sure to replace every native ruler with one of your own culture and religion. It's so annoying to look at half of my despots and see a -15 opinion modifier for "foreigner". This wasn't the case in traditionally Pagan or Islamic areas, when I took over the place in a holy war and booted everyone out to put my own guys in.  I wish this game had a "print dynasty" option  The Emperor, my husband, has decided to become celibate. I looked at his stats after this, and he's infirm. Did I break him?

^^^^^^^^^ You have to go through the guy whose land you want. I think it's the last option in the diplomacy screen. hellsjudge posted:1: Yes there is, I actually just asked him for a Crusade for Egypt, but it doesn't seem to be an option against every ruler, and I don't know if you can do this if he's not your vassal. 1. You can do it if he's not your vassal. In my King of Jerusalem game, I've talked him into crusades for Mauretania and Mesopotamia. If you're in the 30 year (I think) cooldown between crusades, the option won't appear, and I think you have to go through the diplomacy screen of the guy you want to crusade against. It also makes the Pope hate you - it's a -200 malus for as long as he's Pope. Tank Sinatra fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Dec 24, 2013 |

However, that is a small price to pay for free claims on every Catholic duchy and everything else you said. Plus I asked him for a Crusade for Egypt and he said yes, so there's that.

I know this, but that wasn't from their immediate establishment. Also, for gameplay purposes it seems odd you can't utilise the Hospitallers in the same way. e: Also, as far as the Templars go, I'm finding that they very rarely have the cash to allow loans anyway.

So has anyone done a Jewish Rome yet? I'm thinking I might try for that from a Norse or Scottish start. I've just double-kinged electoral Aquitaine and Aragon from a Toulouse TOG start. It already feels kinda OP and dull and my starting ruler hasn't even died yet.

This game...my brother, from a bordering but not controlled realm, who I was plotting against to kill his daughter who had taken my spot in the line of inheritance, just took my castle in a siege against my liege, and then took my pregnant wife for his concubine. You just don't get family troubles like that in other games. Edit: Amusingly that's now pushed my plot power high enough to trigger the plot to kill his daughter and will follow-up with himself. Now I assume I have to complete this before my kid pops out of my ex-wife, who is now his concubine, otherwise that brat takes my spot in the line? Or will the kid remain below me in the line of inheritance? I'm so confused. Tindahbawx fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Dec 25, 2013 |

So, I was playing a ruler-designed game to establish Israel as a jew and succeeded. I was carefully cultivating the khazars as well, trying to keep them alive, establishing alliances, etc... and then I notice that at some point while I wasn't looking, the entire khazar dynasty, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER, converted to sunni. Sighing, I went to edit the save to put them back as jewish, so I'd have a realm I didn't control to ally with and marry with, etc. But when I edited all the khazars to be jewish again and loaded up the save, all the text vanished. There is no text anywhere in the game, in the ui, in the events, etc. What did I break? How do I fix it?

It says I bought them but the launcher comes up blank. It's a new computer and a fresh install of CKII (twice even because I tried to follow someone else's solution to no avail) but I can't figure out why I can't use any of my DLC.

UGH. I started a game as a cathar duchess of Iceland, and proceeded to conquer Ir(e)land and all that fun stuff. So, I've got wales and I'm getting some of the English duchies, so I give one of them to a random courtier... who ends up being elected (as England became elective when I wasn't looking). Still Cathar. So I lose that duchy, and one of the counts he has inherited got the duchy of Munster, so now England has southern Ireland I also don't want to kick him down too much because he's still making England Cathar, much more quickly than I could.
