I feel dumb, but was trying to mod my files so any gender could take council positions but I end up with only males, only females, or no one (playing as pagan and also why can't a king who loves his mumsy not allowed to let her count the money?), so what do I use to make it open to both?

I did just notice that I got a strong claim on a whopping three counties, one of which I never occupied in the war

An unfaithful second wife, whom I'd just married the year prior and made Empress of a vast empire bares a child to a lowly duke. So what does an Emperor do? Why, naturally, imprisons and executes the duke, assassinates the infant and then divorces the wife so that she may live out the rest of her life alone, contemplating her betrayal. Well, maybe, who knows what the heir might do to her once he ascends the throne. Jesus Christ. This game. I need to stop playing it.

Main Paineframe posted:I wish being a vassal was better documented. If I declare a war on my liege to install a throne claimant (through a normal war, NOT a faction since I'm not allowed to start factions), will vassals that like me more than him join my side or at least stay out of it? Does the fact that the realm is in a holy war against neighboring Muslims affect that? I'm playing a Byzantine duke in Ironman, so I'd like to avoid overly risky conduct, but the Emperor has almost depleted his levies in continuous holy wars and managed to piss off nearly every vassal he has, and my half-brother vassal and eligble electoral heir is married to one of the Emperor's sisters, and I'm rich enough to buy one of the more expensive mercenary bands and support it for a year or two so it's a huge opportunity - unless some vassals jump in on the Emperor's side or he hires some mercenaries or something. I don't know how it works if your lieges vassal will join you in a claim war or not but I think one part of it is if they like the claimant better than their liege. Anyway, while your liege is defending against a holy war/jihad/crusade they get a +75 "defending against heathens" opinion boost with all their vassals so you should not declare war on them if you are hoping some vassals would join you.

Mickey McKey posted:Did Paradox change how pagan Subjugation wars work? I just won my Subjugation war for Ruthenia as Lithuania vs the Cumans, but all the Cuman counts and dukes are there and joined the independence faction and have more levies than the Khan of Cumania did and will definitely revolt shortly (and some are relatives of the Khan and will call him to war when they revolt, undoubtedly). Why did I gain control of ZERO counties when I won the Subjugation war? At this point I might as well grant independence to all these Cuman counts and dukes and re-war for the counties, because right now by winning the Subjugation war but not being able to kick ANY of the retained rulers out I have an unbeatable independence faction to deal with now....seems a little hosed. This is how they always worked. Subjugation just means making other people into your vassal. You take the top level title of the person you're subjugating (and sometimes you actually get claims on any of their holdings, I don't know how/why). Invasions are the type which (usually) give you direct control of any occupied territory. (Some of them, like the Muslim invasion CB, doesn't actually do this despite the tooltip saying it will. Not sure whether the tooltip is broken or the CB itself.)

Man, playing in the HRE is either the most boring poo poo ever OR the most nerve-wrecking. There I am, puttering along as a 3-province count in the alps, working on gettin the duchy of Tyrol. Someone invites me to a plot to see it granted to a new ruler, I accept and the little poo poo instantly goes to war with the duke of Bavaria. I run to the jews, get some cash and mercs, beat the guy to a pulp and... The Kaiser grants the title to the other de jure OPM count.  No problem though, my heir is a great diplomat and creates a claim right away. A short war later I'm the duke, finally I can concentrate on upgrading my holdings and other domestic matters. Ha, nope, the other dukes decide to throw the imperial crown in my lap right during a big war with the Swedes. No rest for the wicked.

Oh that's not bad, a perfectly natural reaction to someone murdering your daughter. My Emperor ended up outliving his estranged hussy. He outlived most of his children too, including his heir, clinging to life just long enough for his grandson to come of age and avoid a regency. He died in a hunting accident at the ripe age of 82. I admit, I sent him hunting hoping he'd get into an accident, a 60 year reign was more than enough.

Hunts are the crucible of manhood. Bad Kings go in to have their flaws fixed, good Kings go in to become awesome. I've been sending my current idiot on a hunt every year I can because there is a hunting event that removes Craven and by God he's gonna get it. Hasn't happened yet, but he did pick up Diligent this year, which had the extra bonus of wiping away Slothful. Which was a huge boost, actually. My levies jumped by like 5,000 men.

The Byzantines have been expanding nonstop into their neighbors, including taking Jerusalem (and therefore unlocking Jihads) before 900, and the Muslim nations are finally hitting back hard enough to put the Empire at a disadvantage.

Man, ironman is most annoying to play just for the fact that you can't fix the niggling little errors or stupidities that creep in. Like a vassal keeping his free rebellion event troops after I assassinated the person whose claim he was pressing, and then rebelling again a little while later while they're still sitting on my capital. Or - and this is the thing that really bugged me - missing out on the crusade for Jerusalem because I was already helping out the Kaiser in a holy war against the same guy, which took longer to conclude than it took the crusade to fail.

So, I've been having fun playing the HRE in my latest game. My original plan was just to make an Antipope and then claim Rome to vassalize the Papacy (apparently if you install an Antipope in Rome as an Empire, the Papacy becomes your vassal, so I wanted to try that out). However, one of the first things that happened to me was a random event from my Court Chaplain that allowed me to convert to the Fraticelli heresy. So, obviously I did that. And then installed the Fraticelli Papacy in Rome. So, that's been fun. Also, France is now a Merchant Republic because I pressed the claim of my son-in-law who had for some reason become the Patrician of a Merchant Republic while I hadn't been looking. e: Also, here's the Unholy Roman Empire plus the rest of Europe at the moment.

My son and my niece die, a good chunk of my court dies, and now my queen is 38. I'm not certain what to do. What's the child bearing limit? Because my heir isn't my dynasty any more.

So in the absence of any clear answers, I decided to give my plan a shot and see if it worked. And it did, splendidly. Even though I was pressing someone's claim, declaring war on my liege still gave me the option to call the other vassals into the war: And since they all really really hated the Emperor, who had gone about making himself terribly unpopular by repeatedly raising Crown Authority, castrating anyone who rebelled against him but letting them keep their titles, personally holding three duchies for no apparent reason, and so forth, almost all of them joined my revolt, turning it from a fair fight into a hilariously one-sided stomping of Constantinople.  On top of that, despite losing his Empire, the Emperor was still saddled with his holy war against Mesopotamia, which should keep him out of my hair for a while. On top of that, I'm pretty sure I've got one of his heirs in my dungeon. Meanwhile, all I had to do was change my preferred heir to my half-brother who's married to the claimant (now I see why Elective is so popular!), and from there it's just a waiting game until I die. Time to go on lots of Great Hunts!

Ok, gently caress mongols. Three hours on speed one while I kited the doomstack around with the only guy who had organizer. It took three tries to get it right.

When you're the leader of the Republic, do you want to use the city takeover CB for your vassals, or does that help them? When you do a city CB for a friendly vassal's port, the city goes to them, not you. I've noticed Pisa is doing that, and they have trade zones absolutely everywhere. My trade zones goes from Gotland to the English Channel. Pisas' top Doge doesn't have a gigantic court full of male family members, and they own an enormous amount of Mediterranean provinces, while I thought it was a good idea not to land any of my patrician vassals. My trade practices tech is ahead of everyone else, and I only have room for 23 trade posts, 200 years into the game, but Pisa's size dwarfs mine. Am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone ever run a game under Seniority succession, even as a self-imposed challenge? If so, could you make it work? It just seems like bouncing from old dude to old dude so you can't educate your heirs, never know exactly who your heir will be, and are pretty much constantly in Short Reign would be impossible.
