Well I'm from Scotland so I'm not the ideal one to ask, but as far as I know most Swedes play games in English as even when games are available in Swedish they tend to be awful translations. Around the office the majority is Swedish, but everyone knows English, so if you want something to be universally read you do it in English. hellsjudge posted:And of course you gave the coffee machine a good tumble?

A matrilineal marriage to boot. If nothing else, the Sultanate is going to fall into tiny pieces I can gobble up.

The Lord of Hats posted:How do I get Mythos working? I've got the mod installed, and it says that it's active, but it doesn't seem to actually be doing anything. Is it incompatible with Old Gods or something? When it's activated there should be a new bookmark at January 2nd, 867 (I think), and from there you have a couple character choices (a vampire in Bulgaria, a giant in Norway, and a Celtic pagan in Wales, off the top of my head). I doesn't change up a whole lot in the start of the scenario.

Dongattack posted:Hmm, interesting! Thanks. Even if they're not your vassals they will still inherit as normal I believe, and since you have two top level titles one of they're gonna get split up. Should kill them if you can, change the laws if you can't. That being said, you should kill them anyways. If you have to ask the answer is yes. Kill entire families just to keep your vassals on their toes.

Do you guys have any recommendation for how best to use concubines? Like when my character reaches 16 and gets married should I fill my coffers with concubines? Or do I use them if my wife isn't giving me children? And when is a good time, if at all, to let them go?

If you're lucky and siege capitals, you can steal away princesses or queens, who will pass of claims to your children. Certainly a long game, but it could help you take kingdoms and empires in one fell swoop. Plus there's the satisfying act of stealing someone's wife  .e: also you get prestige from having three nubile concubines, so get em at 16 and let em go when they hit 40. Ugh i feel like such a pig.

Let them go when they reach 40, and are thus infertile, or when someone who is more noble, like a Queen or Princess, comes along. Higer tiered concubines give your more prestige (I think). If you want a crapload of kids, get concubines, if your wife is infertile or chaste/celibate, get concubines. I am pretty sure concubine kids get claims on your titles so be careful, yo! Edit: Oh jeez beaten twicely, yo!

When creating a vassal republic (owning a duchy and county, granting the duchy to a mayor in that county) will he always have the -30 malus of Wrong Government Type? The only holding he owns is a city, he doesn't have a barony, so it's not like he thinks he is a feudal lord. Another quick question while I'm at it - if you can create a second empire, do all of its de jure vassals get a malus against you, like if you owned a kingdom? (Desires the Kingdom of Buttholistan) for example. I'd save and reload to check but I'm playing ironman. Node fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Feb 14, 2014 |

The "Wrong Government Type" malus is because you are not a Republic, not because the mayor holds any baronies. Vassals will always desire the next De Jure step up (as long as it exists and you hold it and another title of equivalent rank), but never any titles outside of it.

For most of the game, I've had my demesne in the duchies of Tara and Munster in southern Ireland (owning both duchies, the 5 counties there, and a couple extra baronies I built there), with my capital in Dublin. I've recently taken over the Holy Roman Empire and have a max demesne size of 10, so I think it's time to reevaluate my demesne. Should I take ownership of more counties in Ireland? Cherry pick the strongest counties from the empire? Something else?

Piell posted:Ideally, your domain should be the best two duchies in whatever your main kingdom title is (which should also be your biggest kingdom title). I don't think this is true anymore. The +50% to all levies within your capital applies to subholdings, not just the main holding. So your desmesne should be the duchy of the county with the most potential castles (and cities if a republic/mosques if Muslim/both if a Muslim republic, I guess) in one province. Extra counties beyond that are a bonus but not as important as a big capital. Take Britannia: Essex is always your best bet because you can reasonably hold London, 3 extra baronies in London (provided the AI doesn't build cities/temples in the empty slots), plus Essex/Bedford/Northampton. That's a desmesne of 7, which will likely prevent you from holding a second duchy until much later on when you've pumped legalism up. Paris has the same thing, but is more pronounced: it's got loads of subholding capacity, which makes it far more valuable than, say, Normandy, despite being 2-3 counties smaller. Constantinople actually took a big hit in the patch because of this, as even in 867 it only has 2 baronies, with the rest of the subholdings filled out with a temple and 3 cities. (Which actually makes it by far and away the most valuable capital for a Republic, I guess  )This also lets you stack your steward and marshal in your capital to boost troops/income even higher.

Is grabbing more counties in Ireland and destroying their parent duchy a good way to set it up? I'm just trying to find a good use for the rest of the 10 demesne I can hold.

Is it weird for the Byzantine Emperor to marry his heir off to the daughter of the Doge of Amalfi? It's my highest title, I don't even have a king title yet. Also how should I be giving out counties as a republic? Should I make them all grand cities or should I make landed nobles too?

Mayors will never try to get your title, never inherit other titles to grow in power and they pay more taxes, both for city taxes being higher by default and by making more money than a baron. Feudal vassals give you better troops. Choose what is more important to you.

I wish that foreign courts would return your heirs when they get left there through marriage. I matrilineal married my daughter to a mayor in Russia with good stats, and when he died she came home, but my granddaughters and future possible Queens of Navarra are sitting in some shithole in Russia not getting educated and this bumpkin mayor won;t send them home because they would be hostage to a foreign court.

If the current holders are your direct vassals and are of a lesser rank than your vassal king, you can simply transfer their vassalage back to him. That will usually make him happy. On the other hand, if the De-Jure vassals he wants are under another vassal king, you'll have to retract them from that king first. This will make them your direct vassals, but will also piss of the king you retracted from and probably also cause a Tyranny malus and even a chance of revolt. And Of course, if that other king owns the titles directly you'll still have to revoke them.

After the kingdom has drifted into the Roman Empire, the empire's crown laws will supersede the kingdom crown laws and you can revoke his descendant's kingdom.

I have some questions about forming kingdoms and inheritance laws. I hold an empire I've just switched to primogeniture (Russia) and two de-jure member kingdoms. One (Rus) is on primogeniture, and the other (Ruthenia) is gavelkind. If I create a new kingdom, will its inheritance laws follow the highest level title, or is there some other calculation? Will holding one gavelkind kingdom mean any new ones will be gavelkind as well? Does it matter if the kingdom is a de-jure member of the empire? I can form Perm (a de-jure member) and Lithuania (not). This has been an amazing game so far, starting as Rurik in 867. After forming the empire, probably prematurely, I had a desperate time trying to reform the Slavic faith and switch out of gavelkind before it shattered the empire into so many pieces. I lost Ruthenia to gavelkind then faced a massive invasion for Rus, which at one point had me down to -80 warscore. Just after I beat off the invasion Ruthenia revolted for independence, which was hair-raising at the time but at least got me the title back.

If you want a fun game I def. advise you to create all king titles as it adds more difficulty. On the other hand if you want your realm to be more stable you should not create them, as dukes will want the title and your children/future throne contestants will get claims on them.
