There's only 3 empires and like 16 Indian kingdoms, so I chose the smaller number just to see if the event would work at all. I'll definitely add some kingdom-level requirements later. I've also been working on a special Indian Empire title only available to Norse. Plus some all-around  as gently caress events as a Norseman loving poo poo up in the jungle.

How do the Norse - Norman, etc events trigger? Just a long, random timer on a Norse holding a foreign province?

Shadeoses posted:How do the Norse - Norman, etc events trigger? Just a long, random timer on a Norse holding a foreign province? From what I can tell by looking at the game's guts, the Norse turning into Swedish, Danish ect. happens at random after a certain year and the respective culture's kingdom exists, or the culture change events will only happen inside the kingdom's de jure borders; I'm not entirely sure which. The cutoff year is also 1150, so the conversions stop after that. More or less the same with the Normans. If you're king of England, Norman and your provinces are Saxon, the English melting pot event will kick off. Blarghalt fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Mar 29, 2014 |

I started a new game after installing RoI , as the duke of Apulia in 1066. Things are going pretty well, I'm still alive and kicking at 64 and only 3 counties away from having all de jure territory of the Kingdom of Sicily , and those counties are held by muslims. I left my capital in Apulia where it was; I personally own the duchies of Benevento and Apulia, the counties of Apulia, Bari, Palermo and Siracusa and a secondary barony in Palermo. The duchy of Capua is owned by my son and heir, the duchy of Calabria and Salerno by faithful vassals. The duchy of Sicily doesn't exist yet, it will after my next holy war. So, since I'm at peace now (waiting for truce cooldown to finish mopping up the infidels) and planning for the future, how should I manage my newly conquered realm? What's the best capital, and what duchies/counties would be best to own personally?

If you are reformed, plunk your chaplain down wherever he's hanging out and you have a decent chance to covert him.

Hold Palermo + as many baronies under Palermo as you can, then as much of the rest of the Duchy of Sicily as you can, while staying within your desmesne limit, after that. That's by far the richest duchy in the kingdom, and Palermo has 6 holdings iirc. Can't remember what it starts with but that means you could potentially have 4 holdings, all being affected by the +50% capital county bonus to levies, plus the owner martial skill bonus, PLUS the train troops modifier from your martial. e: Seriously Palermo is one of the best capitals in the entire game, to be honest. Loads of subholdings to stack modifiers on, and it's a 6 county duchy for the +25% capital duchy bonus. Definitely top 10. Allyn fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Mar 29, 2014 |

Great, will do that. The Duchy of Sicily will be mine after a couple holy wars. So I should look at building more castles in Palermo right? It has 2 castles, 1 town and 1 church, 2 empty slots now... Then I will hold Duchy of Sicily, County of Palermo, County of Siracusa, and 1 castle barony in Palermo plus a few extra counties here and there and another duchy (which one? Calabria as it's right next to Sicily?); as demesne limit increases I shall build more castles in Palermo.

You probably cannot even hold all counties in the Duchy of Sicily + all castles in Palermo personally, so why don't you give out the duchy? The counts in Calabria will dislike you for holding their duchy anyway, if you make another duke he can at least be useful in accumulating tech points.

My Magyars game got a bit weird. I invaded Italy and the Byzantine Empire with my Hungary creation event troops. Then I decided Carpathia was a sucky empire, so I made Constantinople my capital, went Orthodox, then re-created the empire. Then, because I fancied having the Augustus trait, I holy-warred for Tunis, Alexandria, Jerusalem and Antioch. It's just a shame it's not possible to reform the religion, since I'm stuck on Gavelkind now. I set it to elective while I was Orthodox and raised crown authority to medium. Elective was removed during succession, but the medium crown authority stuck, so I can at least revoke infidel titles.

It has 2 castles, 1 town and 1 church, 2 empty slots now... Any holdings outside the capital don't get the +50% Capital County bonus. Any holdings outside the duchy which contains your capital do not get the +25% Capital Duchy bonus. So you want to do it in the following order: 1) As many holdings in your capital as possible 2) As many holdings in your capital duchy as possible 3) Only then do you want to get holdings from outside your duchy. Obviously if you can't get some of the counties inside your capital duchy and are below your limit then sure, why not, keep some counties from other duchies. And if you control your entire capital duchy and have room then having an extra duchy is the logical next step. But just because you can hold two duchy titles before an opinion penalty doesn't mean that it's always the best way -- you'll get far more from having one supremely built up duchy than a second one meaning your first isn't as filled out. As far building castles in your capital: it's by far and away the most powerful thing to do, but it's so drat expensive that I honestly wouldn't prioritise it until you're making GBS threads money. Holding both the ones in Palermo is really good for now: work on getting the rest of the counties in the Duchy of Sicily (whether that's by conquering or revoking or stabbing).

So you want to do it in the following order: Very true, and holding counties, especially ones with many holdings, can give you much more gold than an extra barony. Those city and church taxes do add up, not to mention possible tech points and piety gains from the buildings. So in the beginning it makes more sense to concentrate on holding more of your capital duchy before spending 700+ gold on the next castle.

Thanks for the tips guys, I didn't really get how to manage my own demesne. I was under the impression that having more titles = better in every case, clearly it isn't so if concentrating gets you more money/troops! Edit: right now Palermo is "under new administration" for another 15 years, is it worth it to change the capital anyways or should I let the malus expire before switching and starting to rearrange my demesne? I will almost surely die before then , leaving it to my son to do that, but maybe it's better to start revoking/stabbing with the current king to avoid the maluses with a new ruler TorakFade fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Mar 29, 2014 |

Really? drat I must be lucky, had the game since release and this is the first time I've come across it. Going over demense limit now gets you severely punished. I was 2 over the limit so gave those 2 to my heir to get back later and my income jumps up by 12 which was a hell of a boost. The Zoroastrian game is going pretty well though my expansion has crawled to a halt I could expand north but Cumanian land is useless at the moment and I don't want the mongols hunting me when they show. India is happy just fighting over itself and leaving me alone so I'm leaving them alone in return. My main opponent is the Muliad empire which expands from Syria all the way through north Africa to Spain, they are HUGE and have a lot more troops then I so I'm stockpiling cash for the inevitable war.

Any tips for reforming pagan? I started out as the count of gotland and I have 3 Castles there and own the rest of the duchy (Närke, Tjust and Östergötland I think). Most of Sweden is owned by a Sumeniski king, but Denmark owns a lot of Finland, Norway and a lot of littles bits in the Baltic states, England and some of northern Germany. Should I join Denmark and destroy it from within? How good are prepared invasions? Will they give me enough event troops to actually do something about the huge country I try to invade? It kinda feels like I have to take all the holy sites in one rulers life since I'm stuck at gavelkind.

Event troops are quite good and should enable you to take on most Scandinavian kingdoms since they are not that big. Joining Denmark could work as well, the AI is just not as good as the player. Regarding gavelkind, as long as you have only one title of your highest rank (i.e. only one duchy if you are a duke or only one kingdom if you are a king) then all lands will remain united under your heir, even though you have to give up a few of your holdings/counties. If you can manage to acquire Denmark then you already have one holy site, and the Swedish one is at most 2 county conquests away from your core counties. If you still have the CB, consider subjugating Norway once you become king of Denmark, that should give you three holy sites. If Norse moral authority is too low to reform, remember that each looted church and each successful county conquest gives you +1 MA. So raiding and gobbling up the many one province minors in Ireland can really help you there. If you just can't get the last bit, look towards Zeeland, if the Karlings are embroiled in huge claimant wars or the holder revolts, try to grab it. You don't need to hold it (and you probably can't) you just need the 10 MA to reform.

My Norse king had conquered a bit of Eastern Europe, and his godi was doing a nice job of converting provinces and vassals to the Norse faith for some years, until he had this announcement: "What the Hell are you talking about, and why are you dressed like that?" "Oh, I've also converted to the Tengri faith, my lord." "And as my chief advisor on religious matters in my realm, you thought you should not inform me of this, because...?" "Well, I believe that religion is a matter of personal and private conviction, and that an employer should not take religion into consideration when assessing the work performance of his employees, or when hiring or firing employees." "That's cute. Now sod off, you're fired." "My lord! That's discrimination!" I really love the random stuff that happens in this game sometimes

The wierd thing is that I have petty kingdom of Gotland and Jarl of Östergötland, still last time my guy died only the county of Tjust passed to the other son. So: 4 counties, 1 duke title, one titular duke title and an extra Barony, and my second heir only got one county. Not sure how that works. I did see however that Denmark will split into Denmark and Norway when the current 60 year old king dies, so I'll probably try to take Denmark or Norway. Not sure how I should set the kingdom up though, should I just keep my 4-county duchy in which I hold all counties and keep maxing my 3 Baronies on gotland? A bit worried that I would get a lot of revolt when I take Norway or Denmark.

...does anyone else think that the way gavelkind is implemented right now is kind of nuts? Playing as a Norse, it seems that my second son will get literally everything but the main title/county. That doesn't sound exactly right to me. And I can't give anything except my main title to my first son. I mean he'll still end up ruling over no.2 but the second son gets more lands and claim to the main title, doesn't really sound like a sensible method of succession to me. Plus it fragments my realm which I hate. It's not game-breaking or anything, just weird.
