I can never seem to find good port forwarding guides for games that use the verion FIOS router. poo poo never works for me.



Is this what it should look like for forwarding the right ports? I have NEVER gotten this to loving work. I hate port forwarding. I hate that games need you to do poo poo like this.

Is there some sort of hidden rebellion timer where if there hasn't been a rebellion in a while it just happens? I have vassals that have 100 affection for my genius ubermensch emperor joining half the country in rebellion. Is it the phases of the moon or something?

Do you have lands outside of de jure Germany? I think those vassals are not bound by your CA until they drift into your kingdom. And if you have two kingdoms then Medium CA will not stop the vassals of one kingdom fighting vassals of the other kingdom.

This is half right. Dukes with follow a king's CA no matter where his dejure land is, but as soon as you become emperor and put a king above him his CA will take over until de jure drift. Vassal kings with medium CA will not fight each other outside of wars of tyranny and plots.Also get the reverse google image search extension. :)

Call Verizon and have them allocate you an IPv6 range instead. Problem solved!

But yes, that should basically be it, but most router modem combos are terrible and can't do simple things like NAT correctly. Could also be Windows Firewall, but it looks like EU4 registers itself with that properly, and CK2 probably does the same.

The hit to levies outside your de jure territory goes by primary title, right? So if I'm Emperor of Britannia as my primary but just became King of Jerusalem, my Jerusalem troops are gonna get penalized because Jerusalem is not de jure Britannia?

Late response, but yes. The fact that I was Ireland/Jerusalem/Arabia/Syria/Mesopotamia (levies went from 160k to 17k) and wanted to continue on is why I haven't patched up yet. The sheer numbers in your realm will stop small local wars but you'll get jihaded out of there pretty quickly. Future crusades might have the kingdom flip for you and you can (with savescumming) hold and expand, but you're probably better off accepting that it'll go eventually. At least you get a boatload of prestige/piety and a bigger retinue cap for a bit.

So I guess you can just have the antichrist assassinated. I'm kind of disappointed - it wasn't even particularly hard. I let the game run for a while but there's no sign of him walking off a knife in the ribs. Maybe I'll revert to a previous save and let him get old enough to raise his infernal army, see if taking him down then isn't more satisfying.

My friend bought me this game and after several tries at Ireland, I finally put together the Empire of Alba today and coasted the last twenty years to the end of the game.

However, after I was king of three kingdoms (I think it started after I had Ireland, Wales, and Scotland) I started getting the 'controls too many duchies' negative with my vassals. The problem is, it didn't seem like I could give any more out. I went to my sons and relatives and random courtiers in my court, but the only duchy I could give away was the one with my capital. By the time I took England, the penalty was up to -50 or so, which was making everyone mad at me. What am I missing?

Were you conquering territory and then not forming the de jure duchies that territory would normally belong to?

I don't actually know for sure if the game keeps track of how many duchies you "really" control in that way, but if it did that might explain it. If you have any unformed duchies, make one and try to give it away.

I had four unformed duchies for centuries since I took Wales and there wasn't any issue until I had more than two kingdoms. I'll try that next time I play, though.

Oh, another possibility: do you have elective or tanistry succession laws? I don't believe there's any such thing as a "too many held kingdoms" opinion penalty, but there is a separate "too many elector titles" penalty, which can include kingdoms.

This is definitely not it - I hold unformed duchies all the time because I like playing Midas Touched rulers and usually do not have enough counties in two de jure duchies.


You have to give duchies to already-landed characters, and usually you want to grant duchies to a count in said duchy - have you tried that Zhaan?

I'm fairly sure you can only give duchies to someone who holds land in that duchy already, and I'm almost positive that only rulers that are Count-level or higher can receive duchies. On top of that, land grant rules are weird sometimes, you might have needed to give the duchy to someone in the same kingdom as the duchy or something like that. Depending on what duchies you had, you were probably trying to grant them to the wrong people. For future reference, you can check the titles you personally hold on the character screen: right below your character portrait and wife and stuff, there'll be two lines, with one showing the flags for all titles in your direct possession and the other listing available claims. Mouse over each title in the first line to see each title; if there's more than two duchies in that area, you've got too many duchies.

I've definitely handed out duchy-level titles to people who didn't hold any land in the duchy. (Although they did hold count-level titles.) Only as a Zoroastrian, though, if that makes any difference.

Not quite, Cordoba for example is a holy site of Sunni Islam but conquering it would not unlock jihads. Look it up at http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Crusades,_jihads_and_great_holy_wars

And of course your pagan faith has to be reformed.

I believe as with calling Crusades from your Pope, there is a cooldown period for Great Holy Wars. When I became Falkyr I could call one every 20 or so years.

You guys are taking me along this time? Right? Wait Shaundi is going? This is bullshit man!

So I'm running into a strange issue with the game not launching. I usually edit the costs of stuff in the Ruler Designer down to zero so I can mess around with gimmick characters but having the defines.lua edited in that manner makes the game not launch. I get the basic launcher with the dlc and mod selection tab but launch just closed CK2. If I have steam verify the files it switches the defines file back. This is with no mods of any sort on too.

The only thing I can think of is that I haven't played since well before they added all the steam achievements. Am I just boned out of doing this now or do I need to use a different method? I have no interest in ever trying or playing one second of Ironman so I'm kind of pissed if that is why I can't do that anymore.

This isn't true. I had a priest son who couldn't have any landed titles, but the game let me give him a duchy (because I couldn't give him counties) even though he didn't own any land at all. I had to do this to get him to shut up about not having any titles.

It was his choice to be a priest, why does he then complain he doesn't have any land? Stupid teenagers.
