I've been seeing some weird issues where wars end, but some countries don't actually release all of their seiged territories from other kingdoms. It's really bad if with an observe game I started in the latin empire start date it seems. The Byzantines currently hold half of the Latin Empire's holdings, but aren't actually at war with them. Similar is going on with the hordes and Cumania and Persia. It's weird.

Wow the Turk portraits are bad. I thought the potato people were bad, but the Turks somehow surpass them in every way. Who's everyone trying as India? I think I'm gonna go with Gujarat 1066 first, just because of how fractured the map is at that point. Any other interesting starts?

I had two sons, both geniuses. The eldest died but not before he had a son. I have elective inheritance in the Kingdom and the Empire. I currently favor the younger son, not the grandson. I have the opportunity to change the Kingdom's laws to primogeniture. Will my son be my heir with primogeniture, or the grandson?

Ive been too busy playing EU4 and just now came to know that we have a new CK2 expansion. Is it any good? Feature list seems interesting, but drat paradox, stop making me expend money on CK2.

I'm having a ton of fun playing as the Shah of Afghanistan. The Samanids immediately declared war on me but I hid in the mountains and went all Rambo 3 on their asses. I've been using the money I get from slapping around the two Muslim blobs next to me on mercs and the 8k man holy order hindus start with (which is beyond ridiculous, by the way). So much fun.

Well I gave up on playing as Buddhists starting from Old Gods because gently caress that 50% revolt modifier. I was doing fine and could probably have kept going but there's a point where chasing two/three revolt stacks around your country goes from 'tolerable' to 'bullshit'

What can I do when my son who I already straightened up becomes decadent again? Can't ask him to stop because I already did before and can't imprison him because I don't have a reason.

As a Muslim it's probably better to just imprison and execute though because you don't get any tyranny for openly murdering your dynasty members.

I just went into the RoI events and commented out every event that had to do with "religious_unrest". It's about 4 or 5 related events in the new event file. Sorry, but dealing with 2-3 simultaneous peasant revolts every year is not my idea of a good time. I'm really astonished that this didn't seem to come up during playtesting!

Even the slightest bit of play testing should have shown this. Like, when I work on my mod, after every change, I constantly go into CK2 again just to see if I haven't effed up somewhere and screwed things up. The fact that governing as an Indian is like poking at a nest of angry hornets is something that should have been plainly obvious just when doing "Not Effed Up" testing.

The rollback function is working well. Spent a couple of decades playing 2.04 Hispania this evening rather than deal with the borked expansion.

So I never really played in affairs with the UK, started a game last night as Scottland, created Alba and got to their 500-man Pike Retinue.. are these supposed to be game breaking? I had a 6k stack last night and it just didn't matter who threw what at them they just kept steamrolling through armies double and once triple their size. I had 17k troops + my 6k pike retinue stack and dismantled whatever the HRE threw at me.. is this intentional? Normally play some manner of German/Norse/Muslim game but finally tried Scottland for the first time and didn't realize they had access to pure 500-pike retinues, just wow.

The Scottish Pike retinue is... good, but strange. They have lots of bonuses to defense IIRC? I know during a crusade I managed to park a stack of 8k on a mountain and let a 23k stack smash into it, and came out with only 2-3k dead with them having lost 18k of their stack. If you can lure opponents into hitting you, they can be one of the top retinues.

So it's not just me and the revolts ARE a little ridiculous over in India? Playing a big multiplayer game with a couple of friends and, my God, the peasants would just NOT leave me alone. Currently in a Regency Council after my second king died and that makes it EXTRA hard to deal with them since my personal manpower is about 900 and my vassals, though providing 5000, will get grumpy if they're forced to be perpetually raised to kill armies of angry peasant with pitchforks for eternity. Which leads to more factions and MORE revolts. About the only good thing to come out of this is going from having only a handful of my vassals liking me to all f them well into the positive relations with me because I keep stamping out upstarts in their land. I am hoping they hotpatch this, because yeah, this is kinda bullshit. Until then, is there a reasonable way to deal with it in game that doesn't rely on random chance (Chaplain conversion) or time (Culture conversion)?

Another little bug I've noticed is that marriage announcements only list one person's name, twice. Like if I marry my son it will say "I accept your decision for a marriage between Raja MySon and Raja MySon" followed by "Raja MySon and Raja MySon have gotten married, pay for the wedding, people respect wealth, etc etc." Not limited to India, either. Nothing gamebreaking but worth taking a look at.

I think I found another bug: I was playing as a one province minor count in one of the big Indian kingdoms. A nearby Muslim kingdom had two provinces rise up in a Hindu revolt so I, being a good Hindu, decided to join their war. They lost and when they accepted peace my province switched realms and my new liege was the Muslim king. Presumably this isn't intended behavior.

So I'm having trouble getting the religious unrest to actually go away. I have a couple provinces that are fully Hindu, ruled by Hindu rulers, and I have my moral authority hovering around 80%. Is there a MTTH that I'm missing? I've been at this a couple years and Its just not going away, I'm sure my elephants must be a foot taller from all the peasant goop permanently stuck to their feet.
